Industries
McDonald Vague has extensive experience across a number of industry sectors including the hospitality, rural, financial services and property/construction sectors.
Our hospitality team has successfully restructured and sold numerous hotels, bars, restaurants and accommodation complexes for New Zealand's leading breweries and lending institutions.
Our experience throughout the rural sector extends from dairy farms to sheep stations, orchards to transport operators and from wineries to food distributors. Our knowledge of rural practices avoids incorrect and costly decisions, and creates gains in efficiencies and cost-savings.
Our Financial Services team has been involved in high profile finance company receiverships and moratoriums, so we appreciate the concerns of relevant parties.
Each member of the property and construction team has extensive knowledge of this sector, as well as crucial technical skills in insolvency, forensic accounting and investigation.
McDonald Vague has a solid reputation for demonstrating commercial acumen, maximising creditors’ returns and responsible fee management across all industry sectors.

Cases
Cases
In a liquidation we report initially within five working days of our appointment (voluntary liquidations), or up to 25 working days (court appointed liquidations). We then report six monthly throughout the liquidation, and provide a final report on ceasing to act. These reports are mailed to all creditors who submit claims and filed at the Companies Office.
If you have a question regarding a specific case, please contact the manager of that case, whose details will be contained in the reports. We are always happy to answer questions from creditors, where this does not breach any confidentiality issues.

Tracy Yelverton, Insolvency Accountant
09 969 5336
Tracy joined McDonald Vague in 2010 after relocating to Auckland from Nelson.
Tracy holds a Bachelor of Commerce degree with a double major in Accounting and Marketing. She has worked in public practice, where she gained extensive expertise in drafting annual accounts and income tax returns, and compiling/completion of GST, PAYE and FBT returns.
Tracy comes from a farming background and is an integral part of McDonald Vague's Agri-business team. She has been actively involved in a number of large rural receiverships across the full range of activities within the agricultural sector. These include dairy, beef and sheep farming, and avocado and kumara businesses.
The insolvencies that Tracy has worked on have all involved multi-million dollar loans by secured creditors. Tracy works closely with the Agri-business "on farm" team, referrers and major stakeholders to ensure that the maximum return for appointers is achieved.
With her family farming background, Tracy is able to bring hands on expertise to the team and a touch of reality to the day to day farm related problems she encounters in her work. This quality, matched with her enthusiasm for developing strong relationships with people at all levels within the industry and professional advisers, allows her to achieve the very best results possible for creditors.
