Community Chats
At ICNZB, we’re all about connection, support, and belonging. That’s why we’ve created Community Chats – a relaxed, informal space where members can come together.
What to expect:
- A friendly, open discussion – no set agenda
- Ask questions, share experiences, or just listen in
- Reduce professional isolation through genuine peer connection
- Perfect for new members or those not ready for structured sessions
Why it’s different:
It’s not about presentations or training – it’s about people. Connection over content.
Regional Meetings
Connecting and empowering Bookkeepers across New Zealand! Working together locally, will help us build the profession nationally.
Our members range vastly between savvy entrepreneurs running their own show, experienced and dedicated employees; right through to those starting out their bookkeeping career. Regardless of their position, they all provide invaluable support to New Zealand’s business community – and we are here to connect and empower them to continue to do that!
We offer range of opportunities for Bookkeepers to engage, learn and participate with other Bookkeepers and one of our favourites is our Regional Meetings. These sessions are practical, focused and encouraging.
Not a member? No problem! The value of support knows no limits - whether you are a member or not, you are invited to join us.
Meetings are held nationwide — some in person, some online, and sometimes both. You’re welcome to join any time!
Roundtables
ICNZB roundtable discussions provide an opportunity for members to engage in meaningful conversations on key topics relevant to bookkeeping professionals. Each session features a panel of experienced ICNZB members who share their insights, practical experiences, and proven approaches related to the discussion theme.
The roundtables offer valuable perspectives and actionable strategies that participants can apply directly to their own bookkeeping practices or businesses. Whether exploring new ideas or refining existing strategies, attendees benefit from a supportive environment designed to foster learning, collaboration, and professional growth.
Each session includes an open discussion with panellists, allowing participants to ask questions, share challenges, and contribute to a collective exchange of knowledge that strengthens the bookkeeping community.
Do you have an idea for a Roundtable or want to participate? Please register your ideas by emailing support@icnzb.org. If there is something you are interested in it, there will be other members interested too.
Special Interest Groups
ICNZB Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are based on your stage in the profession. It provides members with an opportunity to connect, collaborate, and share insights with peers who face similar opportunities and challenges within their bookkeeping journey. There are 4 SIG categories to be involved with:
- Solo Bookkeepers
- Managing a Small Team (1-2 Employees/Contractors)
- Managing a Practice (3 - 4 Employees/Contractors)
- Big Think Tank (5 + Employees/Contractors)
Facilitated by experienced ICNZB members, these groups meet quarterly to explore key topics, share practical experiences, and exchange ideas that strengthen both individual capability and collective knowledge relevant to the category.
Participation in a SIG requires members to register their commitment to attend and actively contribute to discussions. Attendance contributes to Continuing Professional Development (CPD) hours.
Webinars
The ICNZB Webinar programme aims to provide opportunities for bookkeeping professionals to access a range of educational information as well as product demonstrations from industry suppliers. Online learning is an important deliverable for us as a nationwide Association – it means we can reach members from the top of the country, right down to the far south. Our goal is to continually raise the standard of bookkeeping in New Zealand by equipping professionals with the knowledge, tools and latest technology they need to excel.
