What We Offer Our Clients, Our History and Our Philosophy
Wellington Accountants Providing Services to Johnsonville Clients
For more than 75 years, Long + Cowan Chartered Accountants have been an integral part of Wellington’s professional landscape. The firm was originally established in 1940 and became Long + Cowan in 1990 through the partnership of Hiram Long and Neville Cowan. In 1999, Ben Stockbridge became the firm’s Principal, bringing more than four decades of accounting and management experience. Under his leadership, Long + Cowan has continued to serve Wellington clients with professionalism, integrity and innovation.
From our Wellington Central office, we provide services to clients throughout the city, including Johnsonville, Thorndon, Kelburn, Te Aro, Karori and beyond. While our physical location is at Level 2, 276 Lambton Quay, we support businesses and individuals across the Wellington region, offering the same high level of service to every client.
Our Philosophy

Every client receives tailored advice from a dedicated accounting manager who understands their business and personal goals.

Commitment to Client Success
We focus on proactive support rather than reactive reporting. This means we do more than prepare statements and lodge tax returns. We identify risks and opportunities, helping you make strategic decisions that improve performance. Our commitment to fast turnaround times and accessible communication has made us one of Wellington’s most trusted accounting firms.
Modern Tools and Traditional Values
We blend long-standing accounting principles with modern technology. As a Xero Gold Partner, we help clients use cloud accounting tools to manage their finances more effectively.
