Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Pūkenga ki Tauranga Trust

Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Pūkenga ki Tauranga Trust was established to manage assets that were returned in the Treaty Settlement. A Tauranga-based organisation, they manage a significant portfolio of assets, so visibility and clear reporting are incredibly important. 

Annual Accounts, Management Reporting and General Advice with Ake Accounting

When Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Pūkenga ki Tauranga Trust approached Ake Accounting, they were facing difficulties with their management reporting system. Management reports are crucial for leadership teams, as they are used to share whakahōunga with internal stakeholders to keep them aware of the mahi being done within the organisation.

We discussed at length what information the previous management reports were missing, and established a new system for Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Pūkenga ki Tauranga Trust and two subsidiaries. As part of our analysis, we also noticed that the client had funds sitting in an account that offered no returns. We provided guidance on how that money could be better used, and helped the client move it into an interest-bearing account that will earn enough income to cover the year’s accounting fees.

At Ake Accounting, we help trusts, iwis and organisations explore the opportunities that are available to them, providing outcomes that are practical, sustainable and aligned with their values. For this reason, we are a trusted partner of clients throughout the motu.

I have been with Ake Accounting since 2020. Ake do my personal accounts plus the accounts of four separate entities that I am or have been involved with. All of these entities are Māori organisations with complex needs that require specialist accounting care. Ake have been easy to work with, prompt with their responses and clear with their communication. I highly recommend them to all of my friends and family looking for a great accountant and someone who they can trust.
