We’ve got the financial advisors for you!
When we can, us Kiwis love putting cash in the bank. Had a chunky payday from that overtime you did last month? Park that in the savings account. Flicked an old pair of skis on Facebook Marketplace? Nice, that’ll go in.
But what if you could grow your nest egg a little faster? When it comes to how we handle our money, a little professional help can go a long way. Luckily, we have some of Auckland’s most clued-up financial services for you, right here in Takapuna.
Financial advice for every stage of life
First off the rank for financial success usually looks an awful lot like your first home. Stop in at the ShareNZ Takapuna office for advice that just makes the whole home finance thing easy. They’ll help you navigate the murky waters of saving enough, finding a bank and sussing rates and repayments to find a home loan that suits you.
And while you’re there, check out their insurance and investment options, and maybe sort your Kiwisaver. Sounds like they do it all, right? That’s because ShareNZ draws on a nationwide network of experts in all sorts of financial fields. They’ve got the right advice, for whatever you’re doing next.
Another local gem is adviceHQ – this is a firm that started out in mortgages, and the team do a fantastic job in this area. They have also branched into financial services: investment advice, Kiwisaver and that sort of thing. adViceHQ will also help out with personal or business loans.
With a solid foundation under your feet (financial and, probably, cement), it might be time to focus on what you want to do next. Glenn, Anna and the team at Quartz Wealth are here to help you line up your money decisions with your lifestyle ambitions.
As an independent, boutique office, Quartz helps you focus on what’s important in your life and how to get you there. Not sure if your Kiwisaver is in the right place? Wish you had an investment plan to grow your money? Book a free consult with Quartz and get on it.

Do it yourself
Maybe you’re of a mind to manage your own investments. We’re big believers in getting good advice, but for the DIY-inclined there are some investment options based right here on the North Shore.
Sometimes simple is good. Takapuna’s own Simplicity is a giant in the New Zealand investing scene – in fact they’re one of six default options for your Kiwisaver. With a handful of straightforward, low-fee funds you can invest directly or through your Kiwisaver. Simplicity makes investing your money easy, and we love their ethical approach to investing – especially how 15% of their fees go to great Kiwi charities.
Fisher Funds is another popular way to move your money into investment. Also based in Takapuna, you can invest in actively managed funds directly or through your Kiwisaver. Fisher Funds has an admirable policy of investing responsibly, so you can rest easy knowing your investment doesn’t support tobacco, weapons, whaling, and other nasty business.
Another local, Pie Funds have market experts managing an array of investment options for you. They believe in what they’re doing – so much so that the Pie Funds team has over $100 million invested right alongside your money. And, we like that they have a responsible investing policy too.
And if you’re looking for banking and Kiwisaver support, of course we’ve got big bank branches here in Takapuna. You can sit down and talk to someone at ASB, ANZ, BNZ and TSB.
