About our company

Stoven Advisory was formed from the merger of two long-established Auckland accounting firms – Vernon Kennerley Ltd and Vision Consulting Group. As you might guess from his name, Stoven Kennerley is the son of Vernon Kennerley, so you could say that business and accounting expertise is in his DNA. After taking the reins from Vernon in April 2020, Stoven negotiated the merger with Vision Consulting and added new capabilities to the team.

Experience matters, but attitude is just as important. Stoven and his team share a philosophy of empowering clients by making it easy for them to navigate the complex and fast-changing worlds of tax and compliance. Our ‘no jargon’ philosophy helps clients analyse the implications of financial change and make decisions that best serve their needs. At the same time, you benefit from the professional standing of a practice approved by the New Zealand Institute of Chartered Accountants. And, as an Approved Training Employer, Stoven Advisory provides an excellent training ground for young accountants to kickstart their careers.
