FINANCE, TRUST ADMINISTRATION AND OWNER REGISTRY SERVICES
Founded in 2013, He Akina is a shared services organisation established to support Ngāti Tūwharetoa entities with a wide range of business services, focusing on finance, trust administration and owner registry services.
The name ‘He Akina’ originates from Tūwharetoa’s haka Tuwhare, where ‘Aki’ means to support one another. This represents the foundation for which He Akina Limited is built upon.
POINTS OF DIFFERENCE
Focus: He Akina specialises in providing support to Māori trusts and organisations.
Collaboration: Our clients become part of a wider whānau network - collaborating ideas and best practice methods (ma tini ma mano ka rapa te whai).
People: We genuinely care for the people and the whenua which we are connected to. Our organisation is underpinned by Māori values, and our kaimahi have extensive experience in working with Māori organisations, and land blocks in the Taupō rohe.
Costs: We operate on a cost share basis, and through the sharing resources we are able to provide a cost-effective service.
