Sheppard & Ormsby
Sheppard & Ormsby
Our favourite people to work with are ambitious & driven, using their creativity and expertise to craft services which add value not just a margin.
We love working with those looking to build a more than one a year relationship with us, seeing us a part of their team and a trusted advisor.
There has been an accountant in our office for 20+ years. First established by Gordon Sheppard and superbly run by Jenny Ormsby since 2005.
Bronwyn took over the reins in February 2022. We’re very proud to be building on the enviable legacy of Sheppard & Ormsby and taking it into the future.

Meet The Team
We keep all your accounting work in our hive, handled by our buzzing team whose faces you see here. You won’t catch us outsourcing your work overseas.
Bronwyn took over the ownership of Sheppard & Ormsby in February 2022.
Raised in the Manawatu (Ashhurst to be precise) but chose to make her home in Canterbury – the weather’s better. Bronwyn’s desire to have the best of both worlds, balancing living in the South Island with quality family time in the North Island is to blame for us having offices in both Rangiora and Palmy.
Thanks to her young son, Bronwyn can name over 40 Thomas characters. She’s on the path to FI/RE and loves to bang on about financial independence to anyone who will listen.
Ellen is our resident newbie and an Aussie – don’t hold it against her! Based remotely in Bulls, Ellen has lived in NZ for a few years now with her two young children and has made an interesting career change from midwife to accountant.
Michelle joined our team in late 2024, bringing with her more than 30 years of accounting expertise. A problem-solver at heart, she loves finding solutions to clients’ complex issues and mentoring junior accountants to provide outstanding service and support to their clients. Outside of work, you’ll find Michelle enjoying the great outdoors - be it camping, scuba diving or tending to her vege garden.
Keeps Bronwyn in line as her assistant which probably should be a full-time job, but she somehow manages to fit it in around her two gorgeous girls. Steph works remotely from Levin (that’s sort of Palmy right?) and makes it all look easy.
Is a wonder woman! She used to be one of our favourite clients until it was decided many years ago that we wanted her for ourselves. She also works her magic on the family farm and keeping an eye on her (almost) all grown-up brood. It’s her laugh you can hear from the stairs.
Our Ethos
Feeling stung by an accountant who only buzzes in once a year, despite charging? Here’s a sweeter way….
We work with Kiwi investors & business owners who want more than just a hive of spreadsheets and tax surprises. Our approach is all about real, ongoing relationships—not just a once-a-year swarm of numbers.
Here’s how we help you thrive:
- We take the time to truly understand you, helping achieve your personal goals through business success
- We work hard to level up your financial literacy along the way, empowering you to make the big calls in your financial life. We’re committed to comfortable, confident retirements for all of our clients – however that looks for you.
- You deal directly with the team, no buzzwords, no fluff, no outsourcing overseas.
- We check in three times a year to see how things are going and to advise on tax obligations, so you always know what’s coming down the line.
We’re currently welcoming a limited number of new clients for the next financial year. If you’re ready for an accountant who’s as busy as a bee working for you year-round, let’s chat!
