  • How is MoneyPlan.coach different from a financial advisor?
    Even when I completed a Financial Advisor Certification at Massey University, unlike traditional financial advisors who might focus on managing your investments, I focus on coaching you to make informed financial decisions, set goals, and create a plan that fits your life. When executing our plan I might contact you with options for you to decide who will manage your investments, insurance, etc.
  • Will you manage my investments, insurance, and my money?
    As a financial coach, my role is to guide you in making informed decisions about your finances. I will help you create a tailored financial plan, offering advice on budgeting, saving, and achieving your financial goals. However, I do not directly manage investments or insurance products, and I will never handle or control your money. I only charge you the cost of the financial plan you select, with no hidden fees. If you require professional investment or insurance management, I can recommend trusted professionals in those fields. My focus is on empowering you with the knowledge to manage your money confidently and independently.

    Not at all! Financial coaching is about improving your relationship with money, regardless of where you’re starting. I welcome clients from all income levels and financial situations.

After that, I guide you through putting the plan into action and offer ongoing support to help you stay on track.
