A shared vision to make advisory easy for accountants.
Deep empathy for the challenges facing business owners.
The 'ah ha' moment.
Accountants need a software platform packed with resources to market, sell, and deliver simple, scalable advisory services. Advisory, made easy.
That's how and why The Gap came to be.
Founded in 2014, The Gap is trusted by more than 500 accounting and bookkeeping firms across New Zealand, Australia and the United Kingdom.

The Gap system was the best thing to land on my desk since I started my practice.
