Kaitaia Fire

Greenhawk supported Rogan through the acquisition, guiding the transition and putting the right structures in place from day one. Once the purchase was complete, the focus shifted to building robust systems, tightening processes, and introducing meaningful reporting.

“It’s like night and day,” Rogan says. “When we took over, there was very little analysis. Now, the monthly management reports are a great tool for us. They help us understand how the business is tracking and what we need to focus on.”

That clarity has been critical to the company’s growth. From everyday decision-making to long-term planning, the Greenhawk team has been an expert sounding board and a steady support. “The support and advice from Greenhawk have been absolutely vital to our first 18 months owning the business,” Rogan explains.

“Their work has been invaluable in building robust financial systems and processes.”

What stands out most for Rogan is the relationship. “Greenhawk is an instrumental partner. We literally couldn’t run our business without them,” he says. “If you’re looking for a team of knowledgeable, approachable, friendly experts to help you with the many questions that come up—whether you’re starting a business, running one, or buying one like we did—I couldn’t recommend Greenhawk highly enough.”

With the numbers under control and robust systems in place, Rogan and his team are free to do what they do best: make New Zealand’s finest chilli products, and keep the fire burning.
