Liam Gao
Director, C.A., MInstD, Client vCFO
Liam is a Chartered Accountant with experience working alongside a wide range of people and businesses. With studies in accounting, finance and economics, he brings a broad perspective to the way he thinks about numbers, decisions and long-term growth.
A natural people person, Liam is genuinely interested in what drives people — their goals, their ideas and the strengths they bring to the table. He believes a trusted advisor relationship should go deeper than the numbers, and clients often value the way he takes time to understand both the person and the business.
A strong communicator and bilingual, Liam has a gift for turning accounting jargon into practical, tailored advice that actually makes sense. He brings energy, clarity and real care to his work, and is far from the typical “boring accountant.”
Liam lives in the Bay of Plenty with his wife and son. Outside of work, he enjoys hiking through New Zealand’s landscapes, relaxing at the beach, following sport and being actively involved in his local church community.
