How can we help you

We know that talking about money is not always easy.  Come and speak to our qualified and friendly financial mentors. Our financial mentors can guide and support you through your difficult financial circumstances, including negotiating payment plans with your creditors, preparing a budget plan for you and connecting you the right organisations that can help you further. We empower people to get control of their money, set goals and achieve long-term, sustainable change.

 

Financial Planning and Mentoring

Many families and individuals are you struggling to make ends meet? We can help you towards financial independence by: 

  • Assessing your income and expenditure
  • Ensuring you are receiving your right entitlements from WINZ and/or IRD
  • Assessing your needs and wants
  • Assisting you to plan ahead for your financial future with a weekly cashflow
