Kia ora everyone! I’m Savanna — an accountant here in the Manawatū for the past five years, specialising in property, small business, overseas tax agreements, investments, and all those complicated corners of tax that  most people would rather avoid.

I’m genuinely passionate about finance, budgeting, and helping people feel confident and informed about their money. Whether it’s supporting someone through their first tax return, helping a business owner understand their  numbers, or navigating international tax, I love making the complex feel simple and manageable.

I’m excited to connect with more young professionals in our region and be part of a community that’s growing, learning, and backing each other. Looking forward to meeting more of you soon
