Abacus Worldwide, LLC is pleased to announce that New Zealand accounting firm Forbes Chartered Accountants has joined the progressive international association of independent accounting, consulting and legal firms.

The firm joins the association as a part of Abacus One, a membership category for solo practitioners who want to grow exponentially.

Based in Aukland, Forbes specializes in audit, accounting, taxation, and advisory services for local and overseas-owned businesses, not-for-profit organizations, and trust structures. Led by Cynthia Forbes, the boutique practice emphasizes highly personalized service and direct client relationships, combining the responsiveness of a small firm with deep technical experience. The firm is particularly noted for its specialist audit work and long-standing experience supporting not-for-profit organizations throughout New Zealand.

“Adding Forbes as our first member firm in New Zealand is an important step for our association, particularly given the country’s strong reliance on international trade and cross-border business relationships,” said Dr. Jessica L. Levin, COO of Abacus Worldwide®. “With established member firms in Australia, China, and the United States, this creates stronger connectivity across markets that are deeply linked economically and commercially. Their international experience, combined with a highly personal approach to client service, makes them a valuable addition to our membership.”
