Introducing Sindai Haumaha, Associate Director and Accountant
Sindai has been with us for 10 years, and loves the diversity of work and the types of clients she deals with. She likes that the team here are driven to provide a quality to service to every client. She says "everyone cares about the people we deal with. They aren't just numbers, their businesses are not just balance sheets & P&Ls. They are livelihoods and people's lives."
In her spare time, Sindai loves playing netball and squash, being an avid supporter of Marist Netball Hamilton, the
Average league and a committee member. She is also on the committee for a family netball club,Te Tuma Titans. But her ideal holiday is somewhere warm with beach, sun, mojitos and lots of music! She'd love to travel to Europe, particularly Italy, sometime soon.
As the older of several siblings, Sindai's life advice to them is "You are the sum of the 5 of your closest friends - if you look around and they seem to be doing stupid stuff, chances are - you are too." Great advice for all of us, Sindai!

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.9% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.7% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
Poll: Are you a Te Huia fan?
All three Hamilton MPs appear to be united behind the retention of the Te Huia passenger rail service between Hamilton and Auckland, as well as potentially expanding it to Tauranga.
But whether Hamilton East’s Ryan Hamilton, Hamilton West’s Tama Potaka and soon-to-be Labour list MP Georgie Dansey have the combined power to shunt transport minister Chris Bishop and Prime Minister Christopher Luxon onto their line of thinking remains to be seen.
Are you a Te Huia fan? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

82.7% Yes

Wild weather in the Waikato
The Waikato really copped it over the weekend, with wild weather leaving a hefty clean-up bill that may run into the millions.
While things are looking calmer in the days ahead, there are still plenty of slips and flooded roads across the district — so if you’re heading out, take it easy and stay alert.
We want to know: How did you and your whānau get on over the weekend?
