Who are we? - DIXON&CO Counts

We're not the type of auditors that get locked in a back room with boxes of papers.  We pull on our gumboots and get down and dirty.  We like face-to-face.  We count your cows and trees but you won't find us counting your tea bags.

Meet Kirsten...

Kirsten followed her grandfather into the world of commerce and accounting.  She loves her work; she sees each job as a puzzle, and an audit as the process to ensure the pieces of the puzzle fit together based on all of the information at hand.  For this family-centric person, working in a great team and having the satisfaction of a job well done ignites her passion for work and gets her going every day.

Kirsten graduated from New Zealand’s University of Otago with a Master of Commerce in Marketing Management, and Bachelor of Commerce with First Class Honours in Accounting. She is a Chartered Accountant and NZICA Public Practitioner who began her auditing career with Deloitte in their Melbourne and London offices.  She also has experience in a range of finance and operating roles in London’s insurance sector.

Meet Bettina...

Germany is Bettina’s first home but she’s now firmly entrenched and happy in Taupō. A life-long learner, Bettina takes great pride in everything she does and her work is always of a very high standard. It’s the joy of meeting and interacting with clients that gives her the edge.

Bettina gained her accounting experience in her native Germany and in Australia where she completed a three-year apprenticeship as a tax consultant in and ran her own bookkeeping business. She has achieved Certificates III and IV in Financial Services (Accounting) in Australia and is currently completing the NZICA ISA (International Standards on Auditing) Learning & Assessment Programme.

Taupō’s outdoor lifestyle suits both women. When they’re not with their families or in corporate mode you’ll most likely find them skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking, swimming and trail running.

Taupo is home.  We know this region inside and out and as the only dedicated audit service in the district, we understand it the best.  We service the wider the Central North Island, Bay of Plenty and the Waikato regions.
