About Us

CES is recognised as an industry leader offering quality services in the education and not-for-profit sectors across New Zealand.

Who we are

Our canopy has spread, but our roots remain firmly where they’ve always been.

Our approach is what sets us apart from other financial service providers. As an incorporated society and a co-operative, we believe that all profits should be used to enhance education. Supporting schools, trusts, and not-for-profit organizations has always been at the heart of our philosophy, and it has helped us become leaders in the education and not-for-profit services sector. Our mission remains unchanged: to offer comprehensive and cost-efficient services to our member schools and the wider education and not-for-profit sectors. We deeply value our longstanding relationships with our education clients and warmly welcome anyone interested in discovering the unique services we offer.
