About Black Arrow
“Great Business, Great Living“
At Black Arrow Business Studio, we believe a well-run business creates more than profit; it creates freedom, clarity, and the chance to live well. That’s why our motto is simple but powerful: Great Business, Great Living.
We help small and medium-sized businesses across New Zealand make better financial decisions, set up smarter systems, and move forward with confidence. From tax compliance to business strategy, we offer practical, tech-savvy support designed to reduce stress and increase control.
Whether you’re a sole trader, a fast-scaling startup, or a multi-entity operation, we work alongside you to turn complexity into clarity, so your business works for your life, not the other way around.
Our Mission
To empower New Zealand business owners with smart financial systems, strategic advice, and long-term support that enables sustainable growth and better living.
Our Vision
To lead the way in redefining what accounting and advisory can be: modern, paperless, strategic, and truly aligned with the lives of business owners.
Our Values
Clarity Over Complexity – We explain, simplify, and guide without jargon.
Technology with Purpose – We design systems that save time, reduce cost, and empower decisions.
People First – Business is personal. We listen, support, and advocate for your success.
Integrity Always – Transparent, ethical, and grounded in what’s best for your business.
Sustainability Matters – We care about our impact on our clients, our communities, and our planet.
Smarter by Design
Black Arrow is proudly one of the first fully paperless accounting firms in New Zealand. We’ve embraced digital tools not just for convenience, but to reduce waste and build smarter businesses that operate sustainably.
Our work is cloud-based, real-time, and fully accessible, giving you and your team instant visibility and fewer admin headaches. We implement intelligent systems tailored to your business using platforms like Xero, Hubdoc, Unleashed, and more.
We’re not just using tech, we’re building future-ready business environments.
Meet the Founder: Bach Tran
Business Advisor. Financial Strategist. Systems Thinker.
Bach Tran founded Black Arrow after years of watching good businesses struggle behind the scenes. Despite great products or services, many were overwhelmed by poor systems, unclear financials, or reactive decision-making.
With a background in accounting, business systems, and advisory, Bach set out to create a firm that combined real-world financial advice with practical implementation. Today, he works alongside SME owners to simplify the complex and put them back in control of their business and their time.
Bach leads Black Arrow with a focus on helping clients gain clarity, scale sustainably, and get their time back. He’s also a strong advocate for digital-first businesses that are lean, transparent, and built for the long game.
