Modern governance solutions for today.

What we do

At Board Advisory, we help organisations bridge the gap between strong financial performance and robust governance. From private companies with broad shareholder bases to not-for-profits, our tailored solutions ensure stakeholder representation, financial viability, and long-term success.

We work alongside businesses at critical points—whether they’re facing turnaround situations, planning intergenerational transitions, or expanding into international markets. With hands-on expertise and partnerships, we provide the strategic insight and financial guidance needed to grow sustainably.

Private company

Many closely held companies are intergenerational and require an advisor experienced in navigating the dynamics involved. We have guided numerous organisations in developing strategies to bring in the next generation through step-by-step transitions and mentoring of future leaders.

Wide shareholding companies

Private companies can have broad shareholder groups, and the governance solutions we implement aim to represent all stakeholders while ensuring the organisation’s long-term success.

Not for profit

We are involved with significant not-for-profits that support the fabric of New Zealand society. Our aim is to ensure they can continue delivering their services while maintaining sufficient reinvestment to support long-term prosperity.

Social good

Pure players in this space require a high level of governance to ensure they can continue delivering where the government or public sector cannot.

Business transfomation

In the current environment, many companies struggle to bridge the gap between financial performance and good governance. We believe these are one and the same. We’ve guided companies from situations where shareholders were at risk of losing their investments to successful turnarounds through hands-on financial transformation. Working with funders is key, and being able to tell the story—both in narrative and financial terms—is essential.

Export

We have worked with companies that export to Australia, the USA, and beyond. A clear strategy—combined with our ability to partner with New Zealand Trade and Enterprise—has enabled our clients to enter new markets while remaining financially viable.
