After an incredible 48 years of service to the accounting industry, we announce that Michael Lawrence is retiring from the Director role and transitioning into a consultant position, effective today.

We are delighted that his knowledge, experience, and guidance will continue to be part of the NLA team.

Further to this transition, we are pleased to share that we have a new Director, Erin Barnes. Erin has been a part of the NLA family for nearly 16 years, so will be a familiar face to many already.

What a fantastic night hosting the Fitzherbert Young Farmers Club at Naylor Lawrence & Associates! 🎉It was great to connect with such an inspiring group and enjoyed the company of everyone🌟

We had such a great time catching up with Michael and Erin from NLA - Naylor Lawrence & Associates last night. We always find it super valuable to talk about financial business structures, the future of NZ economy, and answering all of our questions. Also, well done Micheal from NLA for being Fitz chair leg of the month as he was meant to do a milking at Kate’s farm this year 🤔😂
Thank you NLA for having us again and for continuing to support us! 💪🏼
We’ll see you next month for our AGM!
