Hazel merged with Coastal Accounting early 2017, after meeting with the Coastal Ladies Hazel knew the future of Accounting was with these like-minded and enthusiastic Women and so made the decision to join the crew.

Hazel thrives on Business Development and Consulting Work, she feels there is such a need for those in business to understand not only what is happening in their business now, the importance of understanding their business future.

Kim joined Coastal in 2013 part-time and is an amazing part of our team.  Kim is very personable and loves client contact, she will often go out to client’s premises and work with them through their specific needs as well as Management reporting.

Katrina founded Coastal Accounting back in 2010, after recognising a need for small businesses owners in the Northland region to have an Accountant they could relate to.

Katrina has a passion for those who are new to business or in the trades and construction industries.  Working alongside her husband in their business Whangarei Construction, their 2 children and running Coastal Accounting has taught Katrina so many useful tools which allows her to talk to her Clients in plain English – and that’s why they love her.

There isn’t actually many things Katrina can’t do, and wait until you see her back a trailer…at speed!

Chantelle is the newest Accounting member of our team, joining us in September 2017 bringing with her a gentle confidence and refreshing personality.  Chantelle lives in Waipu and shares our passion for ensuring her clients are well cared for, continuously working towards the best possible solution for each individual.

Chantelle can be found working from Waipu on Mondays and Wednesdays and at the fortnightly TNG networking meetings early every 2nd Tuesday!

Samantha joined our team in April 2018 and is our bubbly Junior Accountant.

Samantha specialises in GST returns and compliance.

When Sam is not at work she enjoys playing hockey and travelling.

Linelle joined forces with Katrina back in 2011 and educating clients is where Linelle found her niche.

Linelle spends the majority of her time working one on one with our clients to ensure they have the best cashbook solution they need.  “Educating our clients on how to become the best bookkeeper they can be is so important, we strive to give our clients as much education as we can so they can truly understand what is happening in their business”

Linelle brings to the office enthusiasm and charisma, our clients often say how at ease they feel with Linelle by their side! Outside of the office, Linelle can often be found at the beach with her husband and 3 kids and extended family, normally in charge of cocktail hour.

Since April 2016 Patrece has been driving to and from Waipu to work with our team.  We are pretty sure if she had the time she would prefer to walk instead of drive…

Patrece came to us with a vast knowledge and passion for Rural Accounting and continues to be the most down to earth, hardworking and genuine person you could ever meet.  Luckily for us she keeps up our special coffee supply too!

Tracey joined our team in February 2019 – coming from the Banking sector, where she worked in both the Business and Commercial Sectors helping Northland Businesses.

Prior to working in the bank, Tracey worked for a large Accounting firm up North and as part of the Finance Team for a large Northland Organisation.

Tracey is now combining her knowledge of both accounting and banking to help our clients at Coastal Accounting as a Client Account Manager.
