About Holding Fort

With a background in General Management of small business, at Holding Fort we have the experience to offer service that is more than just administrative. By assessing your business we can look at opportunities for you to improve your company and reduce costs. At Holding Fort we wear many hats so you have the benefit of contracting your requirements out to one company instead of having to employee different people for different roles.

Our services include Bookkeeping, AR/AP, Payroll, PAYE, GST and Project Administration. If you need even one of these fields employing someone will end up costing you more than outsourcing the services by the time you factor in Sick Leave, Annual Leave and Kiwisaver not to mention the hassle and cost involved in training someone new when the employee decides to move on. Outsourcing your requirements frees you up to focus on driving your business forward and Holding Fort Limited is here to do just that for you.

Since using Renée's services at Holding Fort the whole running of my business has become so much easier! Having Renée as my book keeper has freed me up to concentrate on the parts of my business that I enjoy and am good at, and not having to worry about book keeping is such a big load off my mind. Renée is very good at what she does, she is fast, efficient, polite, honest and has initiative. I cannot recommend Renée's services highly enough. Forage+Bloom

I have had the privilege of working with Renée for a number of years, within my Accounting Practice. I refer Renée to my clients who require an Office Administrator, responsible for keeping their records updated on a monthly basis, using the Xero Accounting System. Renée is extremely efficient and very reliable, with an ability to communicate within many different business environments, which ensures satisfied clients, with impeccable accounting records. Janet Richardson, Balancing Act Accountants

Renée helped me setup my business inside Xero in September and has already found ways to save me money. Jayme Wallace, Wally Limited

I can confirm that Renée has been helping me out with some accounting / Xero work for the last couple of years. She does this work from home and I can confirm that she is accurate, diligent, totally professional and trustworthy. Renée has never given me any reason to doubt her work ethics. I am happy to recommend her services to other people as long as they do not want her full time and it means that we lose her!
