Personal Wealth Plan · New Zealand

What could your money make possible?

Financial planning and investment advice to help you understand what your money could support, and how to use it.

Could you work less, help your children or enjoy more of what you've earned without compromising your future?

Start with the bigger picture

You already have a financial plan. The question is whether you chose it.

Every mortgage repayment, KiwiSaver contribution, investment and financial decision is taking you towards an outcome.

But is it the one you want?

More wealth isn't always the next move.

Another investment property, a bigger savings target, a few more years at work. Any of them might make sense. But only if they're getting you somewhere you want to go.

We test the alternatives, whether you're still building wealth, ready to work less or already drawing on what you've saved.

Then we tell you what we'd recommend, what can stay as it is and what deserves your attention first.

Your Personal Wealth Plan

Hypothetical example, not advice. Your recommendations come from your own numbers and circumstances.

The FoundHer approach

We work out what's enough. Then how to invest towards it.

What you'll need. What you can afford. How your money should be organised.

  1. The numbers

    Establish what comes in, what goes out, what you own and owe, and how much you need to keep available.

  2. The possibilities

    Model different working, spending and retirement decisions. See what changes, what holds up and what the trade-offs are.

  3. The investments

    Recommend what to keep accessible, what to put towards debt and how to allocate investments around your time horizons.

A plan for the decisions ahead.

You'll know what we'd recommend, why it fits your finances and which decisions to make first.

Start the conversation

When the numbers change the conversation

Not every plan tells you to do more.

You might need to save more. Or the modelling might show that another property isn't necessary, a smaller change will do, or working less is closer than you thought.

The value is knowing which moves matter for your future, and which ones you can stop second-guessing.

In their own words

I feel far more informed now. I don't need to overhaul everything, but I have far more clarity and peace of mind for the future and what I'm building.

I was apprehensive about committing the money to a wealth plan with Found Her, having had a relatively poor experience with a more "traditional" advisor in the past, but I'm so pleased I did.

Before, I knew I was fairly organised, but I definitely didn't pay enough attention to the details, or have much of a plan or goals.

Zara was able to highlight areas that could be managed far better with quite simple changes, like my KiwiSaver, or my investments, and showed me what my life could look like based on different decisions and scenarios, which was really helpful to see mapped out, and also quite exciting to see the possibilities.

I feel far more informed now. I don't need to overhaul everything, but I have far more clarity and peace of mind for the future and what I'm building.

On top of that, Zara is just genuinely lovely to chat to, she really is trying to ensure women know their worth and their value, and I value that so much.

What truly made the experience impactful were Zara's thoughtful, probing questions. They challenged me to reassess my financial priorities and, as a result, I've developed a far more effective and meaningful long-term plan that genuinely supports my needs.

I've always felt confident in my ability to manage money and understand the principles of building wealth. However, working with Zara elevated that understanding by helping me align financial strategies with my personal values and long-term goals. She provided clear, structured options that made my financial future feel both achievable and purposeful.

What sets Zara apart from many other financial advisors is her unique insight into the psychological factors that influence our financial behavior. She skillfully bridges the emotional and practical sides of financial planning, ensuring that both are considered in a cohesive strategy.
