We are proudly New Zealand’s only 100% farmer owned red meat co-operative. In 1948, a group of farmers in Southland formed Alliance Freezing Company Limited to process and market high-quality meat and co-products to international markets.

In 1980, the company’s ownership structure changed to become a co-operative. Today, Alliance Group proudly remains New Zealand’s only 100% farmer- owned red meat co-operative.
Our journey from a small kiwi business to success on the global stage is down to our team of over 5,000 employees.

At McIntyre Dick, we know we look like a traditional accounting firm, but in reality, it’s just the beginning! We know we’re a bit different and we’re good with that! There’s a lot of what we do that looks like what other accounting firms do, and to some degree that’s true, but in reality, two of our key differences are HOW we do it and WHO we have as part of our team.
Our culture is what sets us apart and makes McIntyre Dick an employer of choice. We live into our values every day. We’re selective about bringing the right people into our family of both team and clients. We don’t always get things 100% right, but we own that and learn from it. We have career pathways from administration right through to Chartered Accountant and beyond.
Come and see us at Careers Fest to learn more about what your future could look like.
