What Does This Mean for You?

Regardless of where you are on your financial journey, we can help you be smart with your money to ensure you’re on track to achieve your financial goals.

  • We develop a customised financial plan to suit your unique circumstances.
  • We provide guidance on effective saving and investment strategies.

Who is This For?

If you’re earning an income, you should have a personal financial adviser. Seriously, it’s that simple.

There’s a misconception that you need to be mega-rich to have a financial adviser, and while it’s true that many (most) financial advisers will only talk to you if you’ve got a large sum of money already in the bank, we at MyFuture work a little (a lot) differently in that we want to help you at the beginning of your financial journey to actually create wealth.

We’re in this for the long term, with you every step of the way as your trusted adviser.

Our Process

What to Expect

We follow the 6-step financial advice process which is the international benchmark for providing financial advice

Steps 1 and 2

Discovery Session

This is our opportunity to get to know you better, understand your financial goals (short, medium and long-term), and what resources you have to achieve those goals.

Steps 2 and 3

Research & Recommendations

During these steps, we do the research, run the numbers, document and present our recommendations to you. This can be a comprehensive financial plan focused on long-term wealth creation and/or a statement of advice focused on your more immediate financial needs. We will need to verify the information you provided during the Discovery Session by requesting supporting documents such as loan and savings account balances, payslips, etc. This ensures we are using highly accurate information when developing our recommendations.

Step 5

Implementation

This step is all about implementing the recommendations. We don’t just provide the recommendation; we take responsibility for helping you implement it. This could involve helping you to complete application forms, working with a broker to restructure your lending, or finding you suitable investments. We understand you’re busy, so our goal is to make your financial world as easy as possible by doing as much as we can in-house for you. However, ultimately, we never have access to your money and cannot sign anything on your behalf, so you need to be an active, willing, and ideally enthusiastic participant in this process.

Ongoing Service & Reviews

This is where the real fun begins—managing and tracking your long-term financial success. We have periodic reviews to ensure your strategy is still appropriate if your goals or circumstances have changed. We adjust when necessary and provide annual snapshots so you can see your progress over time. Most importantly, you have your very own trusted Personal Financial Adviser available anytime to help with the little or big stuff. Worried about making next month’s mortgage repayments? Call us. Your parents gave you an early inheritance? Call us. Broke up with your partner and split all your assets? Call us! We’re here for you every step of the way to ensure that whatever life throws at you, you stay on track with your long-term financial goals.

"I have loved working with Lara and Jon at MyFuture. They are so proactive and engaged, and really take the time to explain things if you don't understand. I first engaged them to help me achieve my financial goals by putting in place a long-term financial plan. Getting that back was really insightful and has helped me understand exactly what I can achieve. The first milestone has been the purchase of my first investment property! As a first-time property purchaser, the process seemed quite overwhelming, but Lara and Jon were with me every step of the way and took a lot of stress off my hands. I'm really looking forward to continuing the relationship."

"Thanks for your help and guidance over the last couple of years. Getting your help was the best financial decision we ever made."

Liam & Victoria

"We think it’s important to use the time that we have now to ensure we have wealth in retirement. MyFuture has looked at our financial situation and listened to our current family goals and our retirement dreams. Using their incredible knowledge and experience, they have provided us with a sensible plan that we can see will meet our long-term expectations. The best thing is, it doesn’t stop there! They are consistently ensuring we are on track to achieve that plan. We feel like we are now on a team that is committed to our financial success. If we have any questions about how we are going or what we are doing, they are right there to explain it in simple terms. They have a great range of contacts to provide additional support if that is what we need. It is so great to know we have a plan in place and someone who is 100% committed to helping us achieve it. Thank you, MyFuture. Words can’t explain how great you have been."

Jess

"We are one year into our Debt Reduction and Asset Accumulation Programme with MyFuture. We are blown away by the progress we have been able to make with the guidance, support, knowledge, and service they have provided us. We would not have been able to achieve as much on our own. MyFuture is just an email or phone call away for all our random questions and any advice we need to help us make better-informed decisions on next steps. Looking forward to the next 12 months and beyond!"

Grant & Amanda

"I got in touch with MyFuture because I'd listened to enough personal finance podcasts that suggested contacting a financial advisor. I'm so glad I did because there is only so far general financial advice can take you. MyFuture’s speciality is helping people achieve financial freedom and, even though I'm fairly early in what will be a years-long journey with them, I'm confident I'm in the best possible hands. They have put in place a plan that I could never have sorted out myself, no matter how many podcasts, books, or articles on the topic I consumed. MyFuture is great at explaining stuff, extremely responsive, very personable, and non-judgmental. They get that I don't want to live off mayonnaise sandwiches, give up makeup, and move back in with my parents in order to achieve my financial goals. They work with what you're willing to change or commit, rather than asking you to make unrealistic sacrifices. They know it's important to enjoy life now as well as attain that freedom down the track. This means a lot. I have recommended MyFuture to many friends and acquaintances already - as someone in their 30s, the timing couldn't be better to get a financial advisor setting you up for the best possible future. Thanks for everything so far."

Britt

"100% would highly recommend MyFuture. They have been our financial advisor for the past seven years, helping us set and achieve our financial goals. Our relationship with them has been nothing but easy and educational. They make finances look so easy and simple, which it should be. The team are nothing but professional, efficient, and highly experienced."

FAQ's

Got questions? We’ve got answers. Here are some of the most common questions we receive from our clients.

What is a Financial Adviser?

A financial adviser is the best friend you never knew you needed, but when they’re there, you don’t know how you got on without them. Professional financial advisers save New Zealanders time, energy, and, most importantly, money. You might be able to drive a car, but an experienced Formula 1 driver will get the most out of it. Likewise, while it’s possible to manage your own finances, a financial adviser will provide specialist advice for every point of your financial interests, including tax savings, insurance, debt management, wealth creation strategies, and more.

How do I Choose a Financial Adviser?

When choosing a financial adviser, it’s crucial to seek out well-recognised professional credentials. That’s why MyFuture team members hold the New Zealand Certificate in Financial Services (Level 5) Version 2 (NZCFS5 V2) and provide advice on behalf of MyFutureNZ Limited, the licensed Financial Advice Provider (FAP). We are regulated by the Financial Markets Authority to provide financial advice and an investment planning service. But we don’t stop there. To ensure we offer our clients the utmost value, we are also licensed in Real Estate and have Mortgage Broking Certificates.

We offer our financial planning services throughout Auckland and the rest of NZ. Our team of financial advisers are all accredited with the New Zealand Certificate of Financial Services with a Board of Directors team that has over 30 years of experience in the field.

When Should I Use a Financial Adviser?

It’s never too early to approach your future. The good news is you don’t have to wait until you have an empty nest before you start paying off your mortgages and saving for retirement. Once you realise how easy it is to achieve your financial goals, you’ll wish you had found an investment adviser sooner.

How Much Does a Financial Adviser Cost in NZ?

At MyFuture, your first Discovery Session is completely FREE. Online or in-person, we’ll spend some time getting to find out about you and your entire financial situation, work with you to find your future goals, outline our investment service fees, and clearly confirm what you can expect from us throughout the financial planning process.

What if I Already Have Investments?

Fantastic! We will consider your existing investments when we develop your financial plan, then monitor these investments, as well as any new ones, along the way.

What if My Children Want to Be Involved?

Awesome! We love working with entire families to create generational wealth. There are various ways to include your children. This could be setting up a managed fund they can access when they turn 18, or including them as a party to your own financial planning (assuming they’re old enough and earning an income).

How Does MyFuture Make Money?

Great question. We have financial advisory fees paid by the client directly to us when we provide financial advice and recommendations. If a client chooses to follow our advice and recommendations, we may receive commissions or fees from third-party product providers. We must disclose this information when making the recommendation to you, so don’t worry. We’re always 100% transparent and make sure you’re in the loop so you can make fully informed decisions.

You can find more information about our fees and sources of revenue on our public disclosure statement here.

Is Financial Advice Regulated in New Zealand?

Yes, we are regulated by the Financial Markets Authority (FMA). As financial advisers, we have a Code of Professional Conduct that we must adhere to. That means we must always exercise competence, knowledge, and skill when providing advice and recommendations, and that our fiduciary care is always to you, the client. This means that we always have to put your best interests first. We believe that this is not just a legal requirement, but an ethical one as well.

What Areas Do You Serve?

Our company office and financial advisers are in Auckland. However, as we conduct most of our business meetings via video calls, we have clients in a range of areas throughout the country. We are ready to support all New Zealanders, wherever they happen to be.

Major areas we service include:
