CAMILLES STORY

Camille Betham & Associates is a premier chartered accounting and financial controller firm located at Waihi Beach, offering customized, empathetic financial support that empowers local businesses to thrive.

When Camille Betham first started her career, she quickly realized that traditional accounting wasn't just about crunching numbers; it was about translating complex financial data into a language everyday business owners could understand and use. With a Bachelor of Management Studies degree (First Class Honours) and years of hands-on experience as a Financial Controller, Camille set out to build a firm that does things differently.

Today, Camille Betham & Associates is a cornerstone for business owners in the Bay of Plenty and beyond. The firm specializes in taking the heavy lifting out of business finances. Whether it is navigating the intricacies of annual accounts, tax returns, GST, and payroll, or acting as an outsourced Financial Controller to design monthly budgets, three-way cashflow forecasts, and track KPIs, the team provides robust corporate-level expertise. By designing bespoke spreadsheets and implementing modern accounting systems, Camille Betham & Associates ensures that entrepreneurs spend less time stressing over compliance and more time growing their enterprises.

What truly sets this firm apart is its core philosophy: leading with empathy. Camille understands that behind every spreadsheet and ledger is a hardworking business owner. Rather than delivering dry, jargon-heavy reports, the firm focuses on educating and empowering clients. They sit down with business owners to train them on their financial situation, building confidence and clarity for the future.

This deep community connection and dedication go well beyond the office. When she isn't helping local businesses balance their books, Camille can be found tending to her avocado orchard in the Athenree Gorge alongside her husband. This local lifestyle gives her genuine, firsthand insight into the unique challenges and triumphs of regional enterprises. The firm is also a proud, active supporter of the wider community, deeply committed to initiatives that bring the region together.
