Aaron Wallace
Business Improvement Director, B.Com, DipGrad (Fin), CA.
Aaron Wallace joined Hayes Knight in 1994 and quickly gained
experience across a diverse range of accounting and advisory
disciplines. Aaron has been a Director since 2006 and leads Hayes
Knight's Business Improvement Team.
Aaron's previous roles have included auditing, where he assisted
clients implement best practice controls, and two years outside of
public practice in a financial management leadership role of a FTSE
listed entity.
During his career Aaron has learnt to understand and appreciate
the practical issues facing business owners; developing expertise
in the areas of due diligence, business valuations, wealth
creation, succession planning and financial modelling.
Back in early 2004 Hayes Knight
identified succession in business as a growing demographic issue
facing the New Zealand and Australian economies. In response to
this Aaron was one of the pioneers behind New Zealand's only
publication to tackle prominent societal and business issues around
succession planning and transition of ownership - Succeed
magazine. Impressed by his experience, in 2005 and 2008 Aaron
was invited by NZICA to head a national initiative aimed at
up-skilling the accounting profession in this discipline in 2005
and 2008. The subsequent course work has since been
acknowledged and published by Brookers (now Thomson
Reuters).
Aaron is a member of the Institute of Directors and brings a sound
knowledge of good governance practices to his clients. He is
regularly invited to share his knowledge through various business
publications and public speaking roles. Aaron specialises in
working with clients operating in the manufacturing, food and
beverage, health care, viticulture and construction sectors.
