Financial Advice New Zealand CEO Katrina Shanks says the impact of good advice on financial wellbeing can’t be underestimated.
“I took this job as I truly believe that good financial advice can transform your life and your relationship with money, but ultimately, it is getting people to start thinking about their financial health that is the first step,” she said.
“At a time like this, taking time to review your finances and ensure you are building financial resilience is fundamentally important to ensure you have financial security in the future.”

Webinar attendees will have the ability to ask questions to the hosting advisers, though this won’t be personalised advice - rather, it will be a guide in the right direction and will provide further options for consideration.
“At different times in your life you will be looking at and assessing your different financial needs,” Financial Advice NZ says. “These will involve planning and budgeting, savings and investing, buying a home, protecting your wealth, retirement, and protecting yourself.
“We are excited to bring to you a webinar series over Money Week to discuss different aspects of your financial wellbeing.”
