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.

1. Welcome to 2025. We hope you are refreshed and re-energised after a break and ready for a great year ahead.

2. The Australian Open is underway. How good!

3. The abysmal weather many of us experienced over the break, it can only get better!

THE PACESETTER - 13 January 2025

SPOTLIGHT

All eyes are on the devastating fires in California where many pictures we are seeing look like war zones.

HOT TOPIC

For many of you today might be your first day back at work, so don’t expect to be back to being 100%. It’ll likely feel like a long day so pace yourself. Maybe look to take quick breaks throughout the day. Before you know it, it’ll be home time!

SPORTIFY

If you love sport, then you’ll be looking forward to the Australian Open which starts today. Will Novak reach 26 Grand slams?

OPINION

Climate change constitutes the greatest threat facing our world. The sea ice loss, growing sea levels, more intrusive heat weaves, floods, hurricanes and crap weather for most of us over the Xmas break.

OF INTEREST

Will we see a 4 in front of mortgage rates this year?

GEM OF THE WEEK

THE MARKETS

What’s the outlook for 2025? This will be largely dependent on the US markets, it’s hard to imagine achieving the growth it did in 2024. Will crypto again be in favour? Does anyone know what will happen with Bitcoin? Your risk tolerance will determine your position here.
