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!

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% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15% ... It is complicated
