PKF Regional Training day

Our recent PKF regional training day brought together teams from across the Northland PKF network and was full of connection, insight, and inspiration.

Here are the highlights:

 - PKF Global Vision – CEO Theo Vermaak

Theo highlighted the strength of our global PKF network and the benefits of shared expertise and collaboration across offices worldwide.

- PKF New Zealand Update – from Jancy

Jancy challenged us to think about how we can expand our outreach and positive impact within local communities. We discussed how accountants contribute far beyond numbers — supporting boards, organisations, and local business resilience.

- Collaboration across teams enables smarter, more efficient outcomes for clients. "We are stronger together." 

- We explored personality types and how understanding our own strengths boosts workflow, communication and teamwork.

PKF BOI Away Day

We might not be ready for the PGA Tour just yet… but we had an amazing time at the Whangaroa Golf Club!

Here are the standout moments:

- Anne-Marre showing off her high‑school golf skills and setting the standard.

- Islay channelling her hockey strength into a mighty drive.

- Grace scoring a few surprising lucky hits.

- Keenan finding his rhythm quickly. We think he may have found his new sport.

- Sarah our Putting Queen, sinking shots like a pro.

- Janine, our golf master, helped select the right clubs and kept motivation high when the golf balls were not.

- Aaron and Michael brought the banter and healthy rivalry.
