The Crux Merger.

Crux was established by Michael Parker and Nathan Silcock in 2018 as an innovative new accounting firm with a vision to set the benchmark for the firm of the future. Over a period of 4 years Crux grew to a team of 9, with a client base of growth-minded businesses throughout New Zealand.

In 2021 Crux won the Xero NZ Small Partner of the Year Award and was a finalist in the Xero NZ People’s Choice Award. The directors of Crux and Go Accounting got talking at the awards ceremony and quickly realised there was a lot of alignment and shared values between the firms. As such, we decided to join forces officially merging in April 2023. The merger brings together two progressive award winning firms, to create a new accounting powerhouse across Te Tau Ihu Top of the South.
