Financial advisers helping you create or maintain wealth

New Zealand financial advisory firms are sometimes owned by banks, fund managers, platforms, or insurers they recommend. Such arrangements often create a real or perceived bias toward internal products rather than searching for the best fit.

Because no financial institution owns or directs our firm, we can access a wider range of solutions.

This structure ensures we focus on the technical quality of your investments to help you hit your targets.

Foundation of trust

You join thousands of New Zealanders who have gained greater control over their financial future, and entrust our advice when investing over $1 billion. We are trusted by major government departments and leading companies nationwide, and you can trust us, too.

Designed for you

You receive a bespoke roadmap built for your goals. Since no bank or platform provider owns us, your plan is supported by a model designed to reduce the outcome-linked incentives that can exist in some advice firms.

Boutique advice on a national scale

Your adviser is backed by a team of specialists who review and challenge every recommendation before it reaches you. Large enough for real accountability. Focused enough to know your name.

Connect via video call or at our Auckland and Christchurch hubs for a truly boutique experience.

Your total financial picture

Whether it involves complex investment portfolios or just the basics, your finances should be a cohesive picture. We make sure the left hand always knows what the right is doing.

Our nationwide team focuses primarily on your financial freedom.

Know your money will last, whether retirement is ten years away or already underway. You'll know exactly how far your savings stretch, year by year, and what to adjust if the numbers need to change.

The roundtable: advice tested before it reaches you

A team of specialists reviews every recommendation before you see it. This collective approach ensures your plan is verified and accurate, giving you confidence in the path forward. You receive the combined thinking of our best minds instead of the view of just one person.

A responsive partnership

We are one of only 48 New Zealand firms authorised to manage investments directly. For those who benefit from it, this removes the burden of constant paperwork and allows us to respond to market shifts immediately. Our focus remains on our long-term partnership and the changes in your life, not just the technical details of your portfolio.

What our clients say

"Josh was very down to earth and refreshingly honest in his advice. He took the time to explain investing in a clear, practical way and helped me think realistically about my long-term retirement goals, without any pressure or jargon. I really appreciated how focused he was on building a plan that actually fits my circumstances, rather than pushing products. I highly recommend taking advantage of the free consultation to talk through your own plan and options. My main takeaway was simple but important, have a plan and invest with purpose. I left the conversation feeling informed, not just advised."
Emma Noonan
"I can't recommend Vinessa Orsbourn and her assistant Janica Mabitag highly enough - they are amazing. I recently switched my medical insurance, Kiwisaver, and savings investment and they were great to deal with - prompt, professional and thoughtful. The information they provided me with was easy to understand and practical, making switching easy."
Laurie Anderson
"We have invested our savings with Become Wealth. I can recommend them categorically, they really do go the extra mile. We have always been supported by Josh. He has lead us through COVID and the reason we have stayed the course is totally because of him and his great advice. They have been and still are a great company to deal with."
Jeremy Batchelor
"Excellent advice and support. Very much focused on long-term goals and growth for their clients, rather than making quick money for themselves upfront. Highly recommended after years of satisfactory consultation."
"One of the biggest compliments we can give Nik is his ability to give us trust and confidence in dealing with our life savings which can be daunting and scary for people like us that don't have the knowledge to do it ourselves. Nik listens carefully to which our needs and circumstances are and constructs a portfolio to match. In Nik we trust!"
"Good analysis and straight forward advice. Facilitated us through the process. Very pleased with the service."
Nath B.
"You gain the security of a firm vetted by New Zealand’s most demanding organisations. From major government departments to NZX and ASX listed companies, our advice model is trusted nationwide to deliver results without institutional bias. You can rely on that same standard of integrity."
