Alistair Gauld
Alistair Gauld joined Harts in 1992 as an accountant and became a Principal in 1999
Alistair’s areas of expertise lie in business structuring, financial planning, tax minimisation, Trust accounts and administration, management accounts and business development. He enjoys a diverse range of long standing clients throughout New Zealand providing financial and management accounting and business advisory services. He is known as a lateral thinker, and his clients particularly love his pragmatism in solving all manner of tricky issues.

Lisa Kelly
Lisa’s parents met while working in a bank, so it’s no surprise that she had an affinity for numbers from an early age. Eager to join the workforce, Lisa began at Harts in 1993 partway through her studies; a move she has never looked back on. She loves the diversity of businesses and people she works with and has a particular interest in property.
Away from the office, Lisa has two young and very energetic children who keep her on her toes. She loves fishing and diving; a passion which she hopes to share with her children when they are older.
