Indigenous Planning and Finance Services

We focus on enhancing administrative capabilities by supporting and mentoring staff in a First Nations environment, respecting its unique culture and needs. We listen actively, incorporating staff ideas and leadership guidance to craft effective and comprehensive analyses.

 

Having collaborated with multiple First Nations for over a decade, we have been pivotal in shaping strategic decisions that balance community and commercial objectives, while establishing robust governance and policy adherence.

Our Approach

At the core of our approach is the belief that mentorship and support are vital for community capacity building and growth. As First Nations communities move towards self-governance, the role of finance becomes increasingly strategic and complex. We are committed to providing expert training and comprehensive financial management and planning support.


We prioritize enhancing the skills of management and staff within the administration by focusing on training and continuous support. Our deep understanding of First Nations’ needs informs our collaborative method. We listen carefully to the ideas of staff, integrating these insights with the strategic directions set by the membership and Chief and Council to develop effective and thorough financial analyses.
