A little bit about Greg and Ping...

We are a dynamic husband-and-wife duo bringing extensive business and accounting expertise to Barker Business Brokerage. 

Both armed with accounting degrees, we have a minimum six year tenure in business broking on top of our invaluable experience. Greg's background in Chartered Accountancy is where we've truly found our niche, enabling us to specialize in the sale of accountancy practices, and our track record speaks for itself - 40 accountancy practices sold with opportunities ranging from $200,000 to over $5,000,000.  

Few business brokers in New Zealand focus on the sale of accountancy-based practices with the depth of industry experience we offer. Our extensive network, cultivated through years in the field, connects us to both active buyers and sellers. We empathize with the challenges vendors face in running a business, having bought, and sold businesses ourselves. Our understanding of both the operational and financial aspects of your business ensure you're poised to maximize returns.

As Business Brokers, we offer a diligent and professional service marked by clear and consistent communication to all parties involved. Our aim is to minimize stress for both buyers and sellers by managing details and working tirelessly when required. When working with us, we invest time in understanding you, building trust, and grasping your unique needs. Ping, originally from Malaysia and residing in New Zealand for over 25 years, is well-equipped to assist individuals from diverse ethnic background.

If you're a Chartered Accountant, Accountant, or Bookkeeper seeking to expand through acquisition, managing a multimillion-dollar client base or a sole trader working from home, we're here to assist.  

Feel free to reach out to Greg for an informal chat at any time.

TESTIMONIAL:

I recently sold my accountancy practice with the help of Greg Tapper of Barkers Business Brokers.
Greg and I had been in contact over the past two years where he would give me the latest trends on selling a practice.
I wasn’t sure whether I was ready to sell and retire which was taken on board by Greg and at no time was any sales pitch or pressure to sell made.
He would keep in touch by the odd phone call and given his expertise and experience in selling accountancy practises was always a worthwhile chat.
As an accountant we supposedly have the skills to value a business however the market may dictate differently.
This is where Greg’s true value came to play and I’m pleased to say that the sale price achieved was far greater than the other options I had considered.
We often balk when we are presented with fees but we shouldn’t let this predetermine the outcome.
We are not marketers and sometimes we need to take a step back and let others use their expertise which Greg has in this field.
I thoroughly recommend having a chat with Greg if you are considering selling even if it is not in the immediate future.
