Perriam and Partners, Chartered Accountants, Christchurch

WELCOME TO PERRIAM & PARTNERS

The first thing you need to know about us is that we are really good at our job, the second is that this website is updated weekly, yes weekly, and the third, it's the very reason why we come to work "passion, purpose and profit".

Perriams' success is built on forging personal relationships with our clients. Simply put, the more we invest in understanding you, your family and your business, the more valuable the insight we can offer.

When a website doesn't include "last updated" on it's content, it begs the question "did it happen today, yesterday or 10 years ago?!" Well Perriam & Partners is about today and tomorrow.
