The story of our firm begins more than a century ago with O’Halloran, one of the very first accounting practices in New Zealand. Established in the early 1900s, O’Halloran was not only a trusted name in finance — it was also instrumental in shaping the profession itself. Its founders were among the pioneers who helped establish the New Zealand Institute of Chartered Accountants, laying down the standards of integrity and excellence that continue to guide the industry today.
That legacy of trust, professionalism, and dedication to clients has been carried forward across generations. It is a heritage that anchors us — a reminder that while tools and times change, the values of quality, reliability, and care endure.
Fast forward to the present, and those foundations have been re-energised through the vision of Orb360. Established to move beyond “compliance accounting,” Orb360 has become known for its holistic, advisory-driven approach. Instead of simply reporting on the past, Orb360 works alongside entrepreneurs to help shape the future — providing insights, strategies, and support to unlock growth.
Our focus is simple: helping business owners achieve financial freedom, peace of mind, and the time to focus on what matters most. Whether through franchise advisory, restructuring support, or forward-thinking business planning, Orb360 has built its reputation by solving complex challenges and guiding clients towards lasting success.
This combination of heritage and innovation allows us to bring a rare perspective: deep respect for tradition, paired with a relentless drive to help modern businesses thrive.
Today, our journey has taken another step forward through our membership in DFK International — a worldwide alliance of independent accounting firms spanning more than 90 countries and over 430 offices.
This partnership strengthens everything we do. Through DFK, our clients have access to expertise and resources far beyond New Zealand’s borders. From cybersecurity and wealth management to international tax planning and benchmarking, we can call on trusted colleagues across the globe to bring specialised knowledge and practical solutions.
DFK also connects us to a collaborative community of professionals who share knowledge, refer clients, and work together to solve challenges. For our clients, that means local service backed by global capability.
Bringing together O’Halloran’s proud history, Orb360’s modern approach, and the DFK International network, we offer something unique: a firm that is deeply rooted in New Zealand, confidently innovative, and globally connected.
We remain selective about the clients we work with because we believe advisory is most valuable when it is built on trust, ambition, and long-term partnership. Our team is committed to walking alongside entrepreneurs — not only to manage the numbers, but to unlock opportunity, reduce risk, and create lasting value.
In short, we are more than accountants. We are trusted advisers, innovators, and partners in growth. Grounded in over 100 years of legacy, empowered by technology and fresh thinking, and strengthened by an international network, we are here to help businesses achieve more — in New Zealand and beyond.
We’re proud to bring together the best of heritage, innovation, and international expertise. If you’re looking for a trusted partner to help your business grow, we’d love to connect
