Baggage Sortation Management Limited

"Baggage Sortation Management Limited operates in both Australia & New Zealand and utilises James Bell Accounting Ltd for all our NZ accounting needs.

We have found that over the many years of knowing Jim Bell that not only his services are of a high standard but also his ability to guide our company in the right direction at all times.

We would have no hesitation in recommending James Bell Accounting to any organisation."

New Zealand Elliott-Tamagni LLC

"Coming from the States and being a novice to New Zealand Tax laws and business practices I could have been in a spot had I not found Jim Bell 8 years ago.  As a foundation for his business, Jim's integrity is beyond reproach. But to build on that foundation of integrity you need customer service and Jim and his employees have customer service in their blood.  When Jim says you'll get something from him, you don't have to follow up.  It will be there at the appointed time.  If I have a question about New Zealand Tax Law, Jim will sit down and patiently explain how it works until I understand it, even if I've asked the same question twice before. I know that when I talk to Jim I'll be tapping into a creative mind that's proactive, giving me the best in professional service and advice.  I only wish I could find someone like Jim in the States.  My life would be so much easier."

Shoe Science Limited

"James Bell Accounting has provided excellent accounting support and advice in not only the legal requirements of tax returns but also in helping us format the structure of Shoe Science in terms of trusts etc. It is also great that Jim Bell is accessible when you need to either get him on the phone or see him in person which makes getting things done a lot easier. We would have no hesitation in recommending JBA to other companies."

Film Crew Services (1997)  Limited

"If it weren’t for Jim helping me start out freelancing in the Film Industry, I would have been unable to purchase New Zealand's only Film Crew Freelancers Agency back in 1997. Jim has given me endless priceless advice over the years, and has also become a friend and confidant in many other financial areas of my life."

The Toolshed Limited

"I've had Jim Bell handling my accounts for 14 years now {as at 2009}. My business has grown remarkably due to hard work and good advice. I look forward to the future watching my business expand along with Jim's."    Adrian Jones, Director, The Toolshed Ltd.

It is testimony to Jim's skill, business acumen and attention to detail, not to mention his friendly, amiable manner, that we are still clients all these years later, even though our current business Lansdowne House Ltd, a weddings and  function centre as well as a luxury B&B takes us to Masterton, a long way from Auckland! We are very appreciative of the effort and support from Jim and all his staff."
