He has tailored solution that suits different business models. He brings so much value with his deep knowledge and understanding about finance, policy, law and business.
His currency is trust, confidentiality, respect and transparency. An overall 5 star rating for a 7 star service - that is readily available.

I reached out to Sai from Local Tax Agent for help with filing tax returns for my wife, who works remotely for an overseas company. As newcomers to New Zealand, we were quite confused by the different types of forms and requirements, so I decided to seek professional guidance. Sai took the time to understand our situation, explained everything clearly, and made the process smooth and stress-free. His fees were also very reasonable.

More recently, when I transitioned from a full-time employee to a contractor, I contacted Sai again for advice on GST. He explained everything in detail, reviewed my contract, and clarified the GST and tax-related clauses thoroughly.

I highly recommend Local Tax Agent. They are genuine, knowledgeable, and provide high-quality service.

All I can say is i wish I had found this great team a couple of years back when I was in business. The response time & effort in engaging with the customer is truly unmatched, I’m a person that work’s graveyard shift hours and you could imagine what a nightmare it’ll be for both parties trying to communicate but to my surprise the team had responded to my messages at night even in the early hours of the morning which to me is going above and beyond. I highly recommend Sai & his team for anyone that has had bad experiences with accountants in the past to give these guys a call and they’ll help you out like they did with me. Thanks again to Sai & his team at Local Tax Agent. More...

Sai Kumar has been an excellent support through the last 4 years I have been dealing with him.
He has provided crucial advice on tax filings & returns linked not only to real estate income, equity returns but so also overseas investments.
His timely advice has been so vital and well worth plus beyond what he charges for his services (24x7).
I strongly recommend professionals, proprietors, business owners to engage Sai Kumar for peace of mind and out of box tax saving regulatory & advisory services

8 March 2024

I have never felt so disappointed and betrayed from an accountancy service in my life! Sai is very good at all the sales talk (which gave me doubts that I should of listened to) and lots of talk up about his multi milliion many times and all his assets but likes to help small businesses and understands them. He was very good at saying he will answer any questions as part of the package, yet I struggled to even get a simple answer about how much based on measurements I sent, could I claim for home office expenses. I had to chase them up multiple times to get things done, and then suddenly it was done overnight, with no more than reports that I can do myself in MYOB. They did not help with anything else that I needed clarification on. I would never work with them again & have moved on to a genuine person I would happily pay more for. He's a sales person, who seems to care more about getting numbers through the books even if its one off, as opposed to long term relationships. More...
