Our Mission…

It is our mission to work with Māori organisations:

To cut through the darkness and shed some light on the many challenges surrounding financial, business and organisation management - Haehae mai ra i te pō!
To help strengthen and build their organisations so that they continue to grow and prosper in a rapidly changing global environment.
To make the complex simple.

Pareārau Meeting Your Needs…

Over the last decade Pareārau have been assisting organisations achieve excellence and success in Governance, Management, Business and Finance. Much more than a Chartered Accountancy, we realized early on the importance of “People” in the accounting equation. We also identified with the many Māori organisations that were frustrated with trying to fit a round peg into a square hole:

the lack of understanding many Consultants have of Māori and Organisational needs;
the assumption that commercial models fit not-for-profit organisations; and
the presumption that one size fits all!

So…. we have developed our very own suite of products, services and management tools that are relevant and customized for Community organisations and business
