Andersen appoints two new Associate Directors

“I’m really excited about Niketa and Eillie’s promotion to Associate Director” says Director, Matt Bellingham.  “Niketa and Ellie are both passionate about working closely with clients and building long-term trusted relationships.  It has been a privilege working with them very closely over the last few years and I am very proud to have been given the opportunity to mentor them.  Seeing them expand their skillsets and provide outstanding support and value to their clients has been a real highlight for me.  These promotions are thoroughly deserved”. 

Associate Director is a new role for Andersen, which recognises the continued strong growth of the firm and the importance of creating pathways for talented professionals into greater leadership roles.

Niketa has over 20 years' experience in chartered accounting and commercial accounting roles, assisting business owners and executive management finance, accounting and tax issues for large companies across complex groups.  Niketa loves working closely with business owners, being hands on with their teams, and helping them solve complex problems.

Ellie originally joined Andersen nearly six years ago and has recently rejoined after a brief time away.  Ellie has extensive experience in both professional services and commercial accounting roles both in NZ and the UK. Ellie is passionate about working closely with clients, contributing to their strategic direction and supporting them to achieve great results. 

Andersen is ambitious for its clients and is focused on continuing to build the capability of its team to deliver services to enable their success.  Niketa and Ellie’s elevation to Associate Director is an important milestone to building this high performing team.
