About Protea
Small team.
Deep expertise.
Protea was established to provide a more personal approach to audit and assurance. We believe organisations deserve direct access to experienced professionals, clear communication and the confidence that comes from working with people who genuinely understand their organisation, engagement after engagement.
Our team brings more than 15 years of combined experience across audit and assurance, and we are proud to support charities, schools and purpose-led organisations throughout New Zealand.

Our approach
What drives our work
Senior-led
Our team brings more than 15 years of combined experience across audit and assurance. Every engagement draws on that experience.
Honest
We tell you what we find, clearly and constructively. We’d rather have an honest conversation than an easy one.
Proportionate
Every organisation is different. We scope our work around what you actually need, not what looks most impressive on paper.
Human
Behind every set of accounts is an organisation doing meaningful work. We show up as real people—warm, curious and genuinely interested in you.
