He's the tall one in the back! Tim's an Accountant, Investor & Absolute Legend.
Flatmate From Another Dimension
Tim Doyle and Shaun go way back. Tim first turned up looking for a room in our shabby Cambridge flat, stuffed full of broke athletes. Here comes Tim, already a successful business owner, property investor, Ironman athlete, ex-Navy sailor, and early crypto investor. Probably the most overqualified flatmate ever. Cheap rent? Probably. The buzz of motivated athletes? Let's hope.
Learning Shit That Matters
Shaun knew immediately Tim was legit. Tim’s got an entrepreneurial brain, sharp investment instincts, and was buying crypto back in 2017 when most people thought Bitcoin was monopoly money. Shaun spent years mining Tim’s brain for insights, logic, and killer business moves
Big Trust, No Bullshit
2022 hits and SK Digital launches. Tim calls: he needs two websites for Evans Doyle Accounting. Huge moment for Shaun. A proper nod of trust from someone he respected. SKD built two sharp, clean sites one general, one agri-specific. They still look good today, which says something.
Mutual Trust Pays Dividends
During that website build, SKD became a client of Tim’s accounting business. At first, SKD was a tiny fish in Tim’s pond. But the relationship quickly levelled up. Tim became an invaluable sounding board, sorting out tricky-as-hell international tax situations linked to Shaun's Japanese rowing ventures.
Fast Website, Sharp Pivot
Tim later split Evans Doyle, launching Doyle Accountants solo. SKD initially misread the brief, pitching something way too heavy. A quick pivot followed: leaner, faster, cheaper. Exactly what Tim needed during a hectic restructure. SKD nailed it, clarifying their own pricing structure along the way.

Crypto Accounting Trailblazer
Tim’s crypto journey continued. As an early crypto adopter, he knew firsthand what an absolute mess crypto taxes are. He spotted the gap. Tim didn’t just stumble into becoming NZ’s top crypto accounting expert - he claimed that spot deliberately. Tim’s original crypto site from 2019 crushed Google rankings, pulling in crypto investors desperate for clarity.
SKD’s Crypto Glow-Up
Tim called SK Digital again to level up his outdated crypto website. It was running on ancient WordPress tech - totally unacceptable for the crypto scene. SKD migrated over 90 SEO-loaded articles, nailed redirects, tidied up technical SEO, and kept the leads flowing without missing a beat. Now? Doyle Accountants has a sharp, modern, trust-inspiring crypto accounting site that sets them apart
Perfectly Timed Launch
Crypto’s hot again (July 2025). Tim drops NZ’s first crypto accounting checklist right in time for tax season. SKD’s rebuild couldn’t have landed at a better moment, securing Tim’s first-mover status.
Legit Partnership
Four websites, mutual clients, real respect. SKD and Tim Doyle have elevated each other’s businesses. Tim - keep smashing it, mate.
