BDO Māori Business Sector Report cover

Helping Māori businesses navigate leading issues

Our Māori business advisers have strong relationships with the sector, and are there on the ground working with you every day to help you achieve your dreams for your people, the planet and your profits. We have a genuine understanding of the unique conditions in which Māori businesses operate – and this understanding gets deeper every year as we continue with our annual BDO Māori Business Sector Report. This provides us an opportunity to further knowledge in a sector that is integral to Aotearoa’s economy and yet is not often researched, and we are proud to each year work with Māori businesses to put this report together.
