Modern accounting, with heart
Introducing Sophisticated Accounting
I’m Sophie Phipps, founder of Sophisticated Accounting. I started my business because I believe accounting should be simple, approachable, and actually useful in helping you achieve your goals - not just a box-ticking exercise.
My background
As a registered Tax Agent with Inland Revenue, I spent over 7 years in traditional accounting firms, gaining experience across tax, bookkeeping, and business support. But I quickly realised that the “old-school” way of doing things didn’t always serve today’s businesses.
In 2020, I took the leap to create Sophisticated Accounting - a business that blends professional expertise with real-world understanding, and puts relationships at the centre . Since then, I’ve supported many SME business owners, contractors, and rental property owners across New Zealand.
Seamless, stress-free service
For me, it’s not just about numbers. It’s about clarity, confidence, and peace of mind.
I keep things stress-free and easy to understand - no tricky accounting jargon.
I use smart technology to streamline your processes, save you time, and keep costs down.
I focus on communication, so you always feel in the loop and supported.
Whether it’s tax planning, cash flow, or simply getting on top of your books, I’ll break things down clearly so you feel in control of your finances.
Future-focused, results-driven
I’m passionate about using the latest tools and accounting tech to make your life easier, but I never lose sight of the personal side. My clients know they can message me anytime with questions, big or small, and I’ll always take the time to explain.
Because behind every set of numbers is a person, a family, and a dream - and that’s what truly matters.
Let’s work together
I love turning complicated financial info into a simple, actionable plan forward.
If you’re ready to feel more confident and supported in your business, let’s chat.
