Greg Tapper
Barker Business Brokerage Ltd
I specialise in the sale of accountancy practices and premium businesses across New Zealand, working closely with owners and acquirers to achieve strategic, high-value outcomes. With an accounting degree and early-career experience in Chartered Accountancy firms, I bring a rare blend of financial insight, commercial judgement, and market experience to every engagement.
Over the years, I’ve become one of New Zealand’s most active brokers in the accountancy sector, having successfully appraised and sold a wide range of practices — from sole operators to multi-partner firms. I understand the unique dynamics of fee-based businesses, from client retention and recurring revenue to succession planning and partner transitions. My familiarity with the accounting profession allows me to speak the same language as my clients and provide advice that is both practical and commercially grounded.
While accountancy is my primary area of expertise, I’m also trusted to broker high-quality businesses in other sectors, including professional services, manufacturing, import/export, and niche growth industries. Many of these opportunities come through referrals from accountants who value my discretion, professionalism, and ability to deliver strong outcomes for their clients. Regardless of sector, my approach remains consistent: a focus on quality businesses, qualified buyers, and carefully managed, confidential processes designed to protect and maximise value.
What sets me apart is the depth of preparation and care I bring to every transaction. From comprehensive appraisals and compelling information memorandums to buyer screening and skilled negotiation, I personally manage each step of the sale with integrity, energy, and a commitment to achieving the right result — not just the quickest one.
If you own an accountancy practice or premium business and would like to understand its potential in today’s market — or if you’re seeking growth through acquisition — I welcome a confidential, obligation-free conversation. Consistently ranked among Barker Business’s top brokers in recent years, I’m proud to have maintained a leading position nationally for performance and client outcomes.
