The Not for Profit sector in Aotearoa contributes significantly to our community, which is why I’m proud to work alongside these organisations so they can focus on what they do best – making a positive impact on Kiwis who need their support the most.

My in-depth knowledge of the sector has been built by gaining a deep understanding of each organisation I work with from the inside out. Clients often describe me as their go-to advisor because I go beyond basic compliance service delivery by providing clarity around complex matters, as well as strategic advice about everything from governance to funding strategies.

I have strong sector specific relationships with investment advisors, auditors and legal advisors, so my clients can access the best expertise when they need it. My Not for Profit board experience deepens my understanding of governance and community needs, allowing me to bring a broader perspective to the organisations I support.
