< back to Our Team

Chris McCullagh has been involved in the practice for more than 10 years. He first joined the firm part-time in 1998 while studying towards his Bachelor of Commerce degree at the University of Auckland. Upon graduation in 2001, Chris spent a year in the Assurance Services division of BDO Spicers Limited.  The experience in audit gave Chris an understanding of best business practices and how to mitigate business risk. However, Chris was unable to resist the power of accounting’s dark side, leading to his return to PKF Corporate Recovery in 2002 where he established himself as an integral member of the insolvency team. Chris was admitted as a full member of the New Zealand Institute of Chartered Accountants in April 2006 and gained his Certificate of Public Practice in July 2010. In his time with PKF Corporate Recovery, Chris has been involved in a large number of insolvency, reconstruction and advisory engagements in a diverse range of industries; from a smoked chicken plant, to an aircraft manufacturer, to a chain of hearing clinics. Chris has strong communication and analytical skills which make him approachable and resourceful, skills which are of considerable importance in this industry. He prides himself on his problem solving skills which, when combined with his knowledge of the legislation and tools of the trade, allow him to tailor a practical commercial solution to each insolvency engagement.       Phone: +64 9 306 7424 DDI Main: +64 9 302 0521 Email: chris.mccullagh@pkfcr.co.nz
