Green Fox: Solid Ground for Growth

For Brendon and Sarah Fox, landscaping is both their profession and their passion. Through Green Fox, they and their team design and care for gardens across Central Otago, from Wānaka to Queenstown, blending craftsmanship with a strong eco-conscious ethos. But behind the beautiful outdoor spaces was a nagging challenge: how to run the business with confidence when the numbers didn’t feel solid.

The Greenhawk team are always coming up with ways we can improve or do things differently. It’s such a solid pillar of our whole business.

“Life before Greenhawk was definitely a little bit grim,” Sarah says. “I always had an ideal in my head of what a utopian accountant would be — and Greenhawk is the first company I’ve come across that actually delivers on that.”

Working together, we became part of the Green Fox team, bringing structure, clarity, and proactive ideas. Our monthly management reporting meetings quickly became a cornerstone of their business rhythm. “I’m super excited about all of our catch-ups,” Sarah explains. I constantly learn new things, and the Greenhawk team are always coming up with ways we can improve or do things differently. It’s such a solid pillar of our whole business.”

That clarity has transformed decision-making. Questions like Can we afford to hire? Should we scale up now? no longer cause stress. “I feel like now I’m in really confident hands,” Sarah says. “A whole team gives us a clear, solid understanding of whether or not we can do something. It’s so much better.”

It’s not just the big strategic moves — it’s the everyday confidence too. From payroll to bookkeeping to forecasting, the Green Fox team knows their finance function is running smoothly, transparently, and with genuine care. “They’re professional, enthusiastic, generous with their time, and totally transparent. I feel like I’m getting such good value for money. I’m sleeping a lot better at night.”

For Brendon and Sarah, the result has been a shift in energy. What was once a source of stress is now a foundation for growth. “The success of Green Fox is dependent on really understanding our numbers — and having that support,” Sarah says. “My whole energetic passion and enthusiasm for that side of the business has changed. If you’re stressed about your financial situation, don’t hesitate — take the leap.”
