Know your numbers. Grow your business.
Business coaching and advisory backed by the financial insight you need to make confident decisions and keep your business moving forward.
Beyond Your Numbers is a Christchurch-based, advisory-first accounting firm working with established small and medium-sized businesses throughout New Zealand. We help you step back, understand what is happening and decide what to do next.
Is your business making enough profit? Can you afford another staff member? Where is the cash going? How much should you pay yourself? What needs to change before you grow?
Our business coaching and advisory support give you the space, insight and accountability to work on the business. Then our bookkeeping, accounting and financial services make sure those decisions are built on reliable information.
WHO WE ARE
Business advisors who look beyond your numbers
As an advisory-first accounting firm, we help business owners understand what is happening, make stronger decisions and follow through with practical action. Our difference is that we do not look at your business in isolation from your numbers.
Your financial information can show you where profit is being made, cash is getting tight, whether pricing is working and what the business can realistically afford. We then combine those insights with practical coaching and advice around people, planning, leadership, systems and growth.
Think of us as part of your team. We get to know how your business works, explain the numbers without the accounting jargon, and give advice grounded in the way you operate.
Business coaching for tradies and professional businesses who want clearer numbers, better pricing, and stronger profits
HOW WE HELP
From numbers to better business decisions
Reliable numbers are important. What matters even more is knowing what they mean and what to do with them. Our advisory-first approach connects your financial information with the decisions you make about profit, pricing, cash flow, people, systems, and growth.
1. Understand
Get a clear picture of what is happening across your finances, people and business performance.
2. Decide
Identify what needs attention and make informed choices about profit, pricing, cash flow, people, systems and growth.
3. Act
Turn those decisions into practical priorities and clear actions.
4. Improve
Review progress, adjust when things change and keep building a stronger business over time.
OUR SERVICES
You might need someone to take the books off your hands. You might want better reports, help lifting profit, or an experienced financial mind beside you for bigger decisions. We take the time to understand what is happening and recommend the support that will make the biggest difference.

Leah and her team at Beyond Your Numbers are fantastic to deal with and they provide a very professional and trustworthy service, they have been a great asset to the AT Lowe Construction team.
“Since I have met Leah, I have been very impressed with her sound knowledge, professionalism, friendliness and efficiency. She has proven to be a real gem for me as I can now concentrate more on my business instead of worrying about making all the figures add up. No question is too big or too small and her response to any problems I may have is always instant. I can’t recommend her enough”.
After a change of system and coping with growth here at TYREWORLD RICHMOND, I was doing too much admin. Leah has completely taken the pressure off and can sort anything! Works out cost effective as she does in no time that which would take me ages! I can now put my time in where it should be. Highly recommend
"This session was immense value. A great session allowing us as a team to dive deep into the make-up of our business. We’ve defined roles which allow us to create structure and responsibilities within the business.
Love your Style Leah. I can tell you’ve worked a lot with other trade companies with fantastic outcomes. This will form the next 5-10 years of our business!"
Using Leah Keown's company Beyond Your Numbers over the last four years has been a cornerstone for the success of my company ADDO painting . Her and her team have been thorough and conscientious, always ready to help. Recently they have certainly lived up to the name Beyond Your Numbers as Leah has helped me build a comprehensive business plan going forward. Our first planning session was excellent as we explored all aspects of my painting business. I went away inspired about what was possible for me, my family and my company over the next several years. I highly recommend Leah for help with where a business is at and a vision of where that business wants to go.
Leah has been doing my books for a year now (2018) and when she was introduced to me, my Xero was a real mess and my reconciliations and payments were untidy to say the least. I now track my jobs and know where I am on a daily basis, thanks to the remote bookkeeping Leah does. We communicate and work really well, and she has finally got me on track. I would recommend Leah to any small business that needs to free up time to do what you are good at, and let Leah take care of the rest.
We switched over to Leah and Beyond your numbers last year and everything has never felt so smooth and easy.
Great communication, Leah and the team really listen to your individual needs and their experience in dealing with other trades has brought some valuable in-sites too. Not only this but they go beyond what is expected with helping understand the intricacies of how everything works and ensuring we are happy with everything going on, leaving us feeling like we really get our moneys worth.
Having had dealt with some frustrating accountants in the past, this has been a breath of fresh air. Looking forward to the future with them.
We reached out to Leah and the team at Beyond Your Numbers in 2023 for their services.
Once we switched over we couldn't believe the difference they had made from everything being really easy to running smoothly to your individual requirements.
We have had a great experience with custom advice from listening about our individual needs right through to great, fast and clear communication.
Leah has proven to be an amazing help with our transition from MYOB to XERO.
With a busy shop and workshop, as well as import and export of caravan parts and accessories, our small business is quite complex and there is lots to keep track of. Various things within Xero therefore needed adjusting to our needs in the first few weeks of using the new program.
With Leah's training and help all this was possible and we now understand how we can complete each task in XERO. This definitely makes everything much easier. Leah is extremely patient, competent, efficient and friendly- and the XERO training she offers is great! If you are looking at getting some support or training with XERO, then Leah is the person to go to. We can highly recommend her! THANKS HEAPS LEAH!
