About Ridgeline Advisory

About Ridgeline Advisory

Christchurch-based business advisors: profit, costs and succession, working directly with owners across Canterbury and New Zealand.

Our Story

Ridgeline Advisory was founded to help owners build better businesses and exit them well. We work on three things: lifting profit, reducing unnecessary costs, and planning succession and exit. We don't prepare tax returns or do compliance and bookkeeping. That stays with your accountant, and we work alongside them.

Peter Eastmure, Ridgeline's founder, is a Christchurch-based business advisor with an accounting background, working directly with NZ business owners on profit improvement, cost reduction, and succession and exit planning.

Ridgeline Advisory was founded by the team behind Eastmure & Associates — Christchurch accountants specialising in tax, compliance, and financial preparation for business owners. The two firms are separate companies with separate focuses: Eastmure handles tax and compliance; Ridgeline handles succession and exit planning. Eastmure & Associates

Owner-first, always

Our advisory fees are separate from any sale transaction. We work for you — not for a buyer, a bank, or a referral fee.

Long-view, not transactional

We measure success in years, not sessions. Our engagement is designed around your timeline — not ours.

Independent, not conflicted

Our advisory fees are separate from any sale transaction, and any referral arrangement is always disclosed.
