Our story

A decade of
getting NZ tax
right.

SMB Consultants Ltd was founded with one clear mission: make tax straightforward for New Zealanders who deserve better than confusing forms and unanswered IRD phone calls.

For over a decade, we've worked with individuals, sole traders, landlords and small businesses across New Zealand — helping them stay compliant, reduce what they owe legally, and understand their numbers without needing an accounting degree.

We started fully online from day one, which means we've built our systems around making things easy for clients — encrypted document portals, automated deadline reminders, digital signing, and fast turnaround times. No waiting rooms. No paperwork. Just results.

"We believe every New Zealander deserves tax advice that's clear, honest and actually works for their situation — not just a number crunched and a return filed."

— Sukumar Gudalore, Founder
We know you, not just your file number

We take time to understand your actual situation — your income, your goals, your worries. That's how we give advice that fits, not generic answers.

Responsive when it matters most

Got a letter from IRD? Worried about a deadline? We don't leave you waiting. Our clients get fast, clear answers — not a week later, but when they need it.

No surprises, ever

Upfront pricing. Clear explanations. We tell you what your tax position is, what's due and when — before any surprises arrive in your letterbox.

Technology that works for you

Xero and MYOB partners. Secure digital portals. Automated reminders. We use technology to make your tax experience faster and less stressful — not more complicated.

Our founder

Decades of experience.
One focus: your tax.

Sukumar Gudalore Founder & Director

Sukumar Gudalore founded SMB Consultants Ltd with a simple belief: New Zealanders deserve a tax agent who actually picks up the phone, understands their situation and gives advice that makes a real difference.

With over 40 years of experience across business strategy, financial management and taxation, Sukumar has helped hundreds of Kiwis — from first-time filers to multi-property landlords — take control of their tax obligations and stop leaving money on the table.

As an IRD-registered tax agent, Sukumar deals directly with Inland Revenue on behalf of clients — handling correspondence, audits and disputes so they never have to. His approach is always the same: straightforward advice, no jargon, no surprises.

Our commitment

What you can
always expect
from us.

We don't just file your return and disappear. Our commitment to clients is the same every year — be available, be honest, and always put your interests first.

1
Long-term partnership, not a transaction

We invest in understanding your situation properly from the start. The longer we work together, the better we can anticipate your needs, flag opportunities and protect you from pitfalls.

2
Your interests come first, always

We only ever recommend what's genuinely right for your situation. Our advice is independent, honest and designed to help you pay exactly what you owe — not a cent more.

3
Staying current so you don't have to

NZ tax law changes constantly — bright-line rules, interest deductibility, GST thresholds. We stay up to date so we can proactively tell you what changes affect your situation before you find out the hard way.

Upfront pricing You know exactly what you'll pay before we start. No hidden fees, no surprise invoices.
Bank-grade security All documents uploaded through our encrypted portal. Your data is safe with us.
Automated deadline reminders We track every GST, provisional tax and filing date for you. You'll never be caught off guard.
