✨ We’ve created space for new clients ✨
Over the past year, we’ve invested heavily in improving our systems, workflows, and automation at Huia Business Services. The result?
✅ Faster turnaround
✅ Better visibility for our clients
✅ And now… capacity to take on a small number of new clients.
If you’re a business owner looking for proactive bookkeeping, Xero support, or help getting your numbers working for you (not against you), we’d love to chat.
We work best with growing SMEs who value clarity, compliance, and straight‑up communication.

🌿 Huia Business Services turns ONE! 🎉
One year ago, I took a leap and launched Huia Business Services. I had no idea how quickly it would grow, or how many amazing people I’d get to work with along the way.
This year has been full of learning, wins, and plenty of adaptive problem-solving. Supporting businesses with clarity and confidence — it’s been a privilege to be part of your journey.
Some personal highlights:
🪶Seeing clients breathe easier knowing their books are sorted
🪶 Building real relationships with people who care about their business as much as I care about mine
🪶 Growing Huia into something that feels bigger than just numbers — it’s about trust, support, and showing up
And I couldn’t have done it without Sharyn — the yin to my yang. Her calm, steady presence balances my whirlwind energy perfectly. She’s been a rock, a sounding board, and a huge part of Huia’s heartbeat. ❤️
Tamara, thank you for always being there when we need you — your support means so much. ❤️
To everyone who’s backed me, referred me, worked with me, or simply cheered me on — thank you. Your support means the world.
Here’s to year two — more growth, more connection, and more good work done well.
Ngā mihi nui,
Kerry x

This is what hope and community look like! Yesterday, I had the privilege of attending the opening of 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗕𝘂𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗹𝘆 𝗛𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲, a sanctuary offering support for those grieving, particularly due to suicide. A few weeks ago, Don from 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗛𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 invited me to learn more about this incredible mental health project, and I knew I couldn't miss it. Yesterday was a truly inspiring example of community at its best.
𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗛𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 offers a short introductory horticultural course designed for those in need of a bit of love, compassion, and support, helping them grow a hedge at the top of their cliff. 🌱💚
Check out their website or the comments for more information about this fantastic community initiative. I look forward to seeing how I can support Don in the future.

Hey, here’s another reminder about why having strong internal controls and processes is super important, especially in cases of employee theft. These controls are like your business’s first line of defence against fraud and theft, making sure your financial reports are accurate and you’re following the rules. They also help reduce risks, make operations run smoother, and keep everyone accountable.
A good bookkeeper is all about solid processes and accountability because they know opportunity can lead to employee theft. Plus, they want some protection too, just in case something goes wrong.
So, by setting up strong internal controls, you can protect your company’s assets, improve data accuracy, and create a safer, more efficient work environment. 🔒📈
Get in touch today to ensure you have the best protection for your hard-earned money!
