Embark Accounting was born out of a drive to be client focused, while rearranging the stereotype of accountants. At Embark we want to ensure that clients understand and enjoy the journey they are on rather than solely focusing on the end destination. We want business owners to understand their biggest asset (their income) focusing on making the business work for you and using information available to make the best decisions to get the best outcomes for everyone.


A key driver at Embark is building lasting relationships with people and being able to have valuable and timely discussions

Jared Le Roy Director - BCom, CA, CPP

Jared has a passion for helping people in business, and assisting them to get the most out of their situation. He has a focus on not just looking at the end result, but making sure everyone understands the numbers and how they can use this information to make better decisions. He loves working with clients to guide them on their journey, and enjoys the collaboration with stakeholders to help them achieve success.

Jared grew up in Oamaru and moved to Dunedin to study. He joined a well known multinational CA firm based in Dunedin where he learned his trade and progressed through to Senior Manager. After 7 years, he undertook his OE to London, not only to travel but to develop and add to his existing skill set by working in some large international corporations.

Having gained valuable knowledge and experience (and realising that Dunedin is hard to beat), he returned home and started building his client base. Taking his 10+ years experience, he took the next step starting his own accounting practice. Jared would love to hear from you to work through how he can help.

Natasha Rollover
Natasha Spillane Accountant

Natasha grew up in Auckland but wanted to study away from home and the scarfie life in Dunedin had a strong pull. Having spent four years here, she soon realised what the city has to offer and was keen to stay. 

Having worked in other firms, she joined Embark, bringing a wide breadth of knowledge with her. A keen Xero fan, she is interested in systems and ensuring that our clients are utilising the tools they have available to them.

Natasha will assist Embark clients with annual accounts, GST, and other tax-related queries along with Xero training and streamlining their systems.

Joanne Robinson Business Administrator

Joanne is a Dunedin local who spent time abroad before returning home to work in administration in the education sector. After working in schools for nearly ten years, she decided it was time for a change and made the move into the accounting world.

Embark clients will deal with Joanne during the onboarding and anti-money laundering process, making sure we are compliant with CAANZ and DIA regulations. Her attention to detail is an asset to Embark, as she ensures that all the i's are dotted and t's are crossed.

She also has experience in payroll, and liaises with government agencies on our client's behalf, saving them time and hassle.
