About.

For more than a decade I have been recognised as one of New Zealand’s leading authorities in U.S. expat taxation — a discipline that demands a level of precision, commitment, drive, and intellectual rigour few professionals ever attain.

My work sits at the intersection of two complex tax systems, where accuracy is paramount and the margin for error is nonexistent.

Preparing U.S. tax returns requires the same meticulous attention to detail that a surgeon brings to the operating theatre: absolute focus, deep technical understanding, and mastery earned only through years of disciplined training and experience.

I have been a Chartered Accountant for 24 years, and my reputation extends well beyond New Zealand’s borders. I am known internationally for my expertise in U.S. taxation, respected both within the New Zealand accountancy profession and further afield. 

My global qualifications — CAANZ, AICPA, and CPA Australia — together with IRS Enrolled Agent and IRD tax agent status reflect a standard of excellence that is unmatched in this field.

My practice is intentionally hands‑on. I remain personally involved in every engagement because true excellence cannot be outsourced.

Communication is central to my work, and clients value the clarity, confidence, and precision that define every interaction. My approach is deliberate, exacting, and deeply informed by decades of getting behind the numbers and understanding financial information at its most granular level.

Outside the office, I am anchored by the pursuits that bring richness and balance to life: long‑distance running, travel, cooking, and the joy of raising two extraordinary daughters. These experiences shape my perspective and reinforce my commitment to longevity — in my work, in my relationships, and in the standards I uphold.

I am here for the long run. This is more than a profession; it is a craft, a discipline, and a responsibility I carry with pride. Clients who work with me experience a level of detail, care, and global expertise that sits at the very top of the tax profession.

I'm thankful for finding NZ US Tax Specialists because Gina is one of the few people I know with a working knowledge of the intersection of U.S. and NZ tax policies. Our tax return was accurately completed on time and without any issues. I'm planning to use their services for years to come.

Gina and the folks at NZ US Tax Specialists were very quick to answer a question I had on the NZ tax treatment of US Military pensions, a fairly obscure area of tax law. They're great to work with.

Gina was such a great help in navigating my tax requirements after moving between the US and NZ. She was great to work with - always very responsive and helpful. I would definitely recommend and work with NZ US Tax Specialists again in the future.
NZ US Tax Specialists has been a lifesaver with regards to a family member’s move from the US to NZ. Gina and her team have been there to help us understand the complexities of dual tax status and have greatly assisted in getting everything filed on time. While taxes will never be fun, working with NZ US Tax Specialists has brought our stress levels down considerably.

Gina helped us prepare our US tax returns after we moved to NZ during a very busy time. We had no idea what was required as US citizens living abroad, but Gina was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and professional. The work was affordable and well done. We had a great experience and hope to use NZ US Tax Specialists again.

If you're a US expat and need to file a US tax return, then look no further! Gina and her team at NZ US Tax Specialists does outstanding, professional work. I had to amend my US tax return, as I didn't know I had to file a form. Gina got that done, but they also found I'd made an error, and they fixed that for me as well, keeping me in good standing with the IRS. I'm definitely returning next year to get their assistance again.

I have been working with Gina since 2014, when I needed US Tax advice, being both a New Zealand and United States citizen. Over the eight years that we have been working together, I have found Gina to be extremely knowledgeable about the US tax system and the New Zealand IRD. She is quickly able to provide definitive answers to my US tax questions, via her extensive contacts in the US tax department.
Gina is always prompt in responding to my email and phone conversation questions and her professionalism has inspired my confidence in her many times over.
She has guided me through my annual tax return filing with integrity and honesty and I fully trust her to get the job done well each year.
