Ed Post
The Big Cheese
Having worked for over 27 years in a large accounting firm Ed brings a wealth of experience to the businesses he works with. He has been a past entrepreneur in the retail industry as well for over 10 years, so he knows the practicalities, pitfalls and risks of running a small business outside of the accounting profession.
Somewhat sports mad, Ed has represented Canterbury and NZ in squash at the masters level. He is currently Chairman of the Canterbury Squash Foundation, and is on the committee for the Christchurch Squash Club.
Ed is inherently positive about most things in life, and not much fazes him. Ed looks for the best in people, and always looks for the best possible outcome for his clients as a result.
