About us
Seeing the light! Naked Finance began life as three friends who decided that they wanted to see Financial Advice done differently. We all left our respective Multi-National Firms in favour of a more personal approach. We could see what was missing in the market; a one stop shop for financial advice, spoken with simplicity and honesty, and accessible to every Kiwi.
3 friends bucking the trend
In a world marked by transactional processes, our objective is to offer personalised support to each and every Kiwi. We recognise that everybody's financial journey is different so the typical "cookie cutter" approach simply won't do. Every client will have a different starting point, different milestones and different financial goals so we will tailor our advice to suit each and every individual. Your are unique, so let's treat you that way.
Advice through education
We can create the perfect solutions for your financial goals but the real power comes in helping you understand how to manage your finaincial planning yourself. Our primary ethos revolves around enhancing financial literacy and deciphering industry jargon, ensuring that the entire journey becomes easily understandable and maybe even enjoyable!

Have you ever felt like you were functioning on autopilot, not making a difference in your day to day? This was the prevailing feeling amongst the founding partners of Naked Finance. We saw a gap in the market for a full suite advisory that wasn't also a soulless corporation. We favoured the ability to be agile and move with the market ebbs and flows and work with each and every client as they needed. After discussing how we wanted to see things get done, and realising we were aligned in our vision, we decided it was time to make a splash and get started. We are honest, we bare all, we are Naked Finance.
