Community Contribution
At Books and Admin, community isn’t just something we talk about, it’s something we actively support. As a locally owned business, we believe in giving back to the people, organisations, and regions that support small businesses like ours.
Why Community Matters to Us
Small businesses don’t operate in isolation. They are part of a wider community of whānau, customers, suppliers, and support networks. We see firsthand how much pressure sits on small teams, volunteers, and founders, and how the right support can make things feel lighter and more manageable.
Our community contribution focuses on:
- Supporting local initiatives and events
- Sharing our time and professional expertise where it can make a real difference
- Helping organisations stay financially organised so they can focus on what matters most
How We Contribute
Voluntary & Pro Bono Support
We provide voluntary bookkeeping, administrative, and advisory support to selected community groups and not-for-profit organisations. This may include reviewing financial records, helping with reconciliations, or providing practical guidance so records are clear, accurate, and compliant.
Sharing Knowledge
Education is a big part of what we do. We regularly share practical insights and guidance with small business owners to reduce stress and build confidence around their numbers.
Communities and organisations we have supported
We’re proud to work alongside a range of community groups and organisations. Our involvement may be hands-on or behind the scenes, depending on where we can add the most value.

Doing Business with Purpose
Community contribution is not a marketing exercise for us, it’s part of how we operate. We choose to work with integrity, care, and a genuine desire to make business life easier for others.
If you’re part of a community group or organisation and think we may be able to help, feel free to get in touch. While we can’t support every request, we’re always happy to have a conversation.
