“It’s more holistic, like putting that jigsaw puzzle together. You have all these bits everywhere that you find a way to shape into something. I think often we will go beyond the advice, and really understand them more as a person.”

“Andrew's really listened to our needs and what was important to us. Our plans were done keeping those things in mind and when circumstances have changed we’ve notified him, he’s provided advice, and we’ve made adjustments. Listening to what we wanted was really fundamental, and being pragmatic about what decisions to make.”
Rob and Georgina
"Great personalised service. Andrew listened to our needs and values and developed a plan that was achievable and right for us"

Rob H.
“Andrew, he’s a genuine person. He’s a good listener, but also a good adviser. He will tell us whether it’s a good idea or not. I realise we are not the only client at NZFP, but we never feel like one of the masses, we feel like we’re individual. We’ve always found with Andrew, that if things are changing with the market worldwide or locally, he’ll consider what’s in our best interests.”


“It’s come up with people that are getting older like us, and are not quite sure what to do with their money. We tell them that Andrew is the sort of person who would give you the time of day and give you some ideas.”
John and Chris
"NZFP is a professional, friendly and knowledgeable business to be involved with. We have an excellent relationship with our adviser, Andrew, and appreciate his and NZFP's regular communications."
