Many people claim to be passionate about their work, but few are as genuinely passionate as Kanu Patel. Since establishing Patel Pike and Associates in 1975, Kanu has devoted his career to steering people out of monetary difficulties and into financial security – then watching their businesses grow. And, if it’s what clients are seeking, he also helps them with safe ways to personal wealth.
It’s not simply a matter of money with Kanu: his approach to financial needs is holistic, taking personal goals and lifestyle into account, and aiming always for his clients’ financial independence.
He has provided business, tax and financial advice to more than 500 clients in the last 30 years, and his way of working has proved successful time and time again. More than 99 percent of the businesses he has helped have survived, and many have gone from struggling to thriving.
Kanu is a property and share market investor but, outside the office, his primary focus is on community matters. He is a past Treasurer and Past President of the Auckland Indian Association and Chairman of its Board of Trustees. Under his guidance, the Association’s net assets have increased many times over – from $500,000 to $15 million. He is also a past President of Toastmasters, and was an active member of Kiwanis in Mount Roskill.
Kanu is married with two children, and before establishing Patel Pike worked with James Hardie & Co and Arthur Yates Co. Ltd.
Though clever with numbers, none of his clients is “just another number” to him. |
