Te Whakaoho i te Pito Mata

unlocking potential

In Te Ao Māori “Pito Mata” refers to the uncooked portion of the kūmara that can be replanted, having the potential to produce many more kūmara.

For us, it also represents empowering you with the business tools, expert tax advice and coaching that will help to nourish and sustain your whānau and your business - today and for generations to come.

Ake offers its chartered accounting and advisory services in a welcoming environment where your values are at the heart of our work together.

Nau mai, hāere mai. Welcome to Ake.
