Our Founder:
Sharon Crocombe-Woodward
Sharon Crocombe-Woodward, the Director and visionary behind CW Chartered Accountants, is a highly qualified and trusted advisor. With a Certificate of Public Practice (CPP), membership in the Australia and New Zealand Institute of Chartered Accountants (CA ANZ), and a Chartered Accountant (CA) degree in Business (B Bus), Sharon brings a wealth of expertise to her clients.
In addition to her accounting qualifications, Sharon wears many hats. She is a Registered Business Mentor with Business Mentors New Zealand, where she helps guide businesses toward growth and success. Sharon also actively participates in her community as a member of the Waikato Networking Group and leads an informal coffee group, Boss Ladies, where like-minded women come together monthly to share insights and support one another.
Sharon started CW Chartered Accountants after realising that many small and medium-sized businesses struggle with their accounts, often paying others for tasks they could handle themselves if equipped with the right skills and training. Her vision is to holistically benefit businesses by leveraging her accounting expertise and business experience. She is passionate about helping clients break free from outdated processes and embrace modern solutions.

What Makes Us Different?
At CW Chartered Accountants, we do things differently. We believe accounting isn’t just about crunching numbers—it’s about empowering business owners to understand their finances, make informed decisions, and achieve true profitability. Too often, small business owners pay taxes without fully grasping their financial position. That’s where we step in. With years of experience across various industries, we guide our clients from the very start of their business journey, helping them create a solid financial foundation. From business planning to software training and tax management, we ensure you have the knowledge and tools to turn your hard work into long-term success.
Our Supportive Networks
We are proud to be part of a variety of supportive networks and affiliations that enhance the services we offer. These connections allow us to provide our clients with a broad range of resources and expertise.
As the founder of Waikato Boss Ladies, an informal networking group, we foster meaningful relationships within the local business community, empowering women entrepreneurs through support and collaboration.
