Testimonials
We had the privilege of working with Lorretta from Kahui Advisory, and the impact on our business has been significant. Her guidance around capability development has strengthened our understanding of how to prepare our financials for tendering, ensuring we are more confident and competitive when going after contracts.

Before working with Kahui Advisory, we had the gear but not a lot of idea on how to make our financial tools work for us. We were struggling to create workflow that kept us on top of managing live costings across multiple construction projects while tracking our business in Xero.

We love working with Lorretta! Nothing is ever a problem and she always takes the time to check in and make sure that we are doing ok, “we” being both the business and the person that runs the business. Lorretta always makes us feel like what we do is important and provides great advice as to how to make sure things are working well for us.

I first met Lorretta, Jess, and Kelly in October 2025, through a company I was asked to assist that was experiencing some serious financial and operational difficulties.
From the outset, I was impressed by Lorretta’s openness and her willingness to discuss matters without judgement, while applying a clear commercial lens that is clearly grounded in her accountancy based education and experience.

As a small team with big dreams, it’s been challenging to find an accounting and bookkeeping firm that understands and supports our kaupapa and wider vision…until we met Lorretta and Nicky at Kahui. Their person-centred approach makes us feel like part of the whānau and that no question is a silly one.

We had the privilege of working with Lorretta from Kahui Advisory, and the impact on our business has been significant. Her guidance around capability development has strengthened our understanding of how to prepare our financials for tendering, ensuring we are more confident and competitive when going after contracts.
Lorretta provided clear, practical advice on our IRD obligations and filing requirements, and highlighted the importance of strong bookkeeping practices to stay on top of our finances. As a result, we are now more organised, compliant, and better equipped to manage our business effectively.
What truly sets Lorretta apart is her deep understanding of working with Māori tradies and businesses. She brings a culturally grounded approach that resonates with our values and supports not just the business, but the wider community we serve.
We highly recommend Kahui Advisory to any business looking to build capability, strengthen financial practices, and work with someone who genuinely understands our space.

Before working with Kahui Advisory, we had the gear but not a lot of idea on how to make our financial tools work for us. We were struggling to create workflow that kept us on top of managing live costings across multiple construction projects while tracking our business in Xero.
Since onboarding with Kahui and working closely with Lorretta, Nicky and the team, we now have a strong workflow across our financial systems.
As a busy business owner, Kahui have given me the confidence to “let go” of the day-to-day financial tasks. I now have less stress and more time to work on the business!

I first met Lorretta, Jess, and Kelly in October 2025, through a company I was asked to assist that was experiencing some serious financial and operational difficulties.
From the outset, I was impressed by Lorretta’s openness and her willingness to discuss matters without judgement, while applying a clear commercial lens that is clearly grounded in her accountancy based education and experience.
Over the following months, the team worked closely alongside me to ensure my instructions were carried out with efficiency, diligence, and genuine attention to detail. Just as importantly, they consistently added value by contributing insights, ideas, and solutions that I did not personally possess. This collaborative approach was refreshing and proved to be a valuable asset during a challenging period.
As the relationship progressed, I ultimately took a shareholding in the company I was originally asked to assist. While the business has remained in repair mode, Lorretta and her team have added enormous value by proactively identifying gaps, closing loopholes, ensuring deadlines were met, and executing with a high level of precision and care.
I have now engaged Kahui Advisory for the long haul and have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Lorretta and her team. They operate as a highly professional unit, understand the bigger picture and underlying objectives, and work tirelessly to ensure business needs are met to the highest standard. I consider them a trusted partner and a valuable contributor to any business fortunate enough to work with them.

Their person-centred approach makes us feel like part of the whānau and that no question is a silly one.
They take the time to genuinely understand us as humans and support our goals for social change by empowering us to do business differently. I cannot recommend Kahui highly enough – whatever it is you need, big or small, they’ve got you!
