About Auditlink

AuditLink is known for efficient and effective auditing that our clients can rely on, and it's a reputation we’re proud to have earned over more than 23 years.

Originally a part of PricewaterhouseCoopers, AuditLink was formed in 2002 after the disestablishment of PwC’s Palmerston North branch. Since then, we’ve expanded to help a range of clients across a variety of industries.

Our team is made up of specialist trained staff, each knowledgeable and experienced in working with all sorts of different organisations.

We’re also a member of the NZ CA network (through our sister firm NLA), which is New Zealand’s largest network of Independent Chartered Accounting firms. As a part of this network we’re able to access worldwide best practice tools, training and information – as well as an extensive business knowledge base. All of this combines to help us stay up to date with changes in our industry and yours, and enables us to deliver the highest calibre of work.

While we’re based in the Manawatu, we provide our services locally and nationwide – you’re welcome, New Zealand.

Our Directors

Melanie Strydom

Managing Director

After getting her toddler ready for the day, coffee in hand, Melanie is switched on and ready to go. As AuditLink’s prime problem solver, she brings clarity and calm to even the most complex challenges. With a background at PricewaterhouseCoopers in Pretoria, South Africa, and a wealth of experience since joining AuditLink in 2012, Melanie leads with precision across audits, assurance, quality control, and technical financial reporting. She’s known for making the complicated feel simple, and for her belief that “better never stops.”

Outside the office, Melanie’s energy doesn’t slow down, especially with a toddler in tow. Being a mum is her greatest joy, even if it means early mornings and endless snack negotiations. She’s recently taken up golf, which she swears is relaxing… until the bad shots start. When she’s not chasing golf balls or tiny humans, you’ll find her at the piano, deep in a good book, or firing up the BBQ for some well-earned downtime.

Linda Gray

Quality Review Director

Nearly thirty years of auditing is quite an accomplishment - but you’ll soon come to expect accomplishments from Linda. Linda has worked with countless organisations in a range of industries, and she ensures that everything AuditLink does is executed perfectly down to the last digit.

Linda is especially interested in business growth services, and loves using her skills in taxation and business planning to help businesses reach and exceed their goals.

When she’s not ticking boxes and checking every detail twice, Linda’s often found getting involved with the local performing arts community, or being an avid sports fan to her three sons. Her motto is that nothing’s impossible if you have the right mind-set - and lots of coffee.
