"Your Independent Expert In Personal Finance"

About Us - We Give Independent, Affordable Budgeting, Planning and Educational Advice to Businesses and Families

What Does an Independent Financial Coach Do?

A Financial Coach can be best described as a cross between a Financial Planner, Budgeter, Accountant and a Life Coach. It is different from the traditional form of financial advice, in that instead of the focus being on what products to sell you, a Financial Coach will give you independent holistic budgeting and financial planning advice in relation to where you want to go in life.

Because we don't sell anything (e.g. investment, insurance, Kiwi Saver, retirement or mortgage products) there is no conflict of interest - our focus is all about you and how to teach you to save more money, reduce debt and invest in your future!

Basically Financial Coaching is about coaching and mentoring you in your business, career, retirement and/or personal life and making you aware of how you can get where you want to go in life quickly, by managing your money better, learning how to budget, save and plan for your future. Hear what others have said.

If you are going through change such as a separation, buying a house, having a baby, starting and growing a business, have high levels of debt or have a particularly complicated situation involving multiple issues, then yes we can and do help people work through these situations, tough as they may be. Refer here for more info.

Not sure where you want to go in life, no worries we'll help tease it out of you and figure out what makes you happy in life!

Just want financial assistance to learn how to budget better, have more money, pay off your debt, save for your retirement and/or get out of financial hardship? No worries we can give you financial assistance in all these areas of money management.
