Zancha Koegelenberg

Senior Manager

  My professional journey in New Zealand began after HPCA offered me a position in late 2018 from South Africa. I obtained my qualification as a Chartered Accountant in South Africa and converted it to CAANZ. I brought with me 10 years’ experience, from years as a management accountant at a FMCG manufacturer to where my career started as a BAS accountant for a variety of clients across industries. With a broad role across the practice, I support our team with day-to-day operations, staff training, and systems support, while also managing a diverse client portfolio.

My client work spans everything from Xero processing through to tax planning, structuring, annual financial statements, and management reporting. I enjoy working with a wide range of clients, from smaller trusts and investment groups to more complex business structures, and building trusted, long-term relationships along the way.

I’m particularly interested in how technology can simplify accounting processes and provide timely, meaningful insights, helping clients make confident, informed decisions.



Outside of work, I spend most of my time keeping up with my toddler and enjoying family life, with a special appreciation for getting out into nature whenever possible.
