Helen Price - Director of Finance/Admin, Social Enterprise Auckland
Helen had a chartered accountancy practice in Auckland which she sold in 2013 to have a change in direction. She now has a much smaller practice which has allowed her to become more involved in organisations that have a more philanthropic focus.

In her practice she had seen that these enterprises often spent large amounts of their money on paying ‘professionals’ to meet their reporting obligations to funders and meeting other compliance requirements, when the money could be better spent on their core business. She decided that she could, with her experience, change this in a small way by providing these services on a pro bono basis.

She has now become involved with several not for profit organisations in Auckland.
