Tēnā koutou katoa

Ko Kaputerangi, Ko Pūtauaki ngā Maunga

Ko te awa e rere mai nei, ko Whakatāne

Ko Ngāti Awa te Iwi

Ko Mataatua te Waka, ko Toroa te Rangatira

Ko Rurima, Moutohora, me Whakaari ngā moutere kei waho i te Moana nui a Toi te huatahi

Ko Ake te pakihi Māori ki Whakatāne

Te whakaoho i te pito mata te whakatauākī

Nō reira, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā tātou katoa

Our mission is to support your aspirations, whether that involves growing a business or creating long-term prosperity for whānau and future generations.

Since opening our doors in 2016, we’ve helped businesses and Māori organisations in the Eastern Bay of Plenty and beyond thrive by aligning their financial strategies with their values and vision.

We understand that running a business is more than just numbers — it’s about ensuring your business supports the life you want to live. That’s why we take the time to understand who you are, what’s important to you, and how we can best support you in finding the right balance as you pursue your goals.

A team that understands your journey

Led by Tania-Rose Tamati (Ngāti Maniapoto, Ngāti Tuwharetoa, Te Atihaunui-a-Pāpārangi) and Matthew Davis, our team bring a wealth of real-world experience to the table, having worked in governance roles, as Trustees and as business owners.

This background enables us to offer a unique perspective grounded in both financial expertise and a deep understanding of the challenges that can arise.

Whether it's a quick phone call or a face-to-face meeting, we’re flexible in how we work, making sure you feel supported, heard, and empowered to achieve long-term success. 

What guides us

Our Whakatauākī

“Ko tāku he whakaoho i te pito mata o wō moemoeā
Ko tāu he whakapakari hei hua pūmau, hei tāonga tuku iho.
Āke! Ake! Ake!”

“Mine is to awaken the potential of your dreams and aspirations
Yours is to strengthen to bear fruit, to become an asset to be inherited.
Forevermore!”

This whakatauākī was gifted to us by Titoki Black.
