Set up PocketSmith in a structured, practical way Get clear visibility of your current cash flow and spending Budget and forecast with confidence Refine and optimise your setup as your situation evolves

Money can feel messy - I help make it clear. I work with individuals and families to set up PocketSmith in a practical way, so they can understand their spending, plan ahead, and make confident decisions. My focus is on simple systems that are easy to maintain and actually get used.

About

Most people use PocketSmith just to track spending - I help you use it to actually make decisions.

With a background in finance systems and consulting, I take a structured, practical approach to setting up PocketSmith - focused on what actually matters. That means categories that make sense, clear dashboards and forecasts that help you make better decisions - whether that’s managing day-to-day spending or planning for bigger goals like buying a home - so you can move forward with confidence.

My approach is practical and collaborative. We’re not aiming for perfection - we’re aiming for something that actually works, is easy to maintain, and gives you confidence in your numbers.

Whether you’re just getting started or refining an existing setup, I’ll help you build a system you understand, trust, and actually use.

Typical client profile

- Busy professionals who want clarity without overcomplicating things.

- People earning good money but unsure where it’s going.

- Clients preparing for a major decision (e.g. buying a home).

- People with multiple accounts or messy financial setups.

- Anyone who wants to feel more in control of their money.

PocketSmith: Full-service onboarding Cashflow: Setup and automation Implementation: Budget Plan with step-by-step instructions Accountability: 12-month roadmap

I’m passionate about helping people achieve their financial goals. As a KiwiSaver adviser, I understand the technical “ins and outs” of long-term wealth and how your daily habits impact your future. I’ve used PocketSmith myself and love the clarity it brings to personal budgeting. When I’m not helping Kiwis get ahead, I’m usually keeping up with Formula 1 or out for a walk with my dog, Barney.

About

I’m all about helping people take control of their money to reach their goals. My expertise as a KiwiSaver adviser means I’m well-versed in long-term wealth building, and I use that experience to help clients create a solid foundation for the years ahead. I’ve used PocketSmith myself and know how effective it is for cutting through the noise to show you exactly where you stand. I believe that once you have that level of visibility, making smart decisions becomes second nature. It’s about bridging the gap between your weekly budget and your long-term wealth. Beyond the world of finance, I’m a Formula 1 enthusiast with a keen eye for race-day strategy and a passion for exploring new trails with my dog, Barney.

About

Many people start using PocketSmith hoping it will bring clarity to their finances, but instead they feel overwhelmed by accounts, categories and reports that don’t quite make sense. Even when everything looks set up, it can be hard to trust the numbers or know what the data is really telling you. There is where I help. With a background in financial analysis and a structured coaching approach, I work with PocketSmith users to turn confusion into clarity. Together we organise accounts, categories, and workflows so the data become reliable and meaningful. My goal isn’t just to help you “use the software” but to help you understand your money. By simplifying your setup and creating practical systems, clients move from second-guessing their numbers to feeling confident using PocketSmith to guide everyday financial decisions.

Typical client profile

My ideal client is someone already using PocketSmith who feels overwhelmed or unsure about their setup and wants help organising their finances so they can trust their data and confidently manage personal, and business or property-related money decisions.

About

I’m a finance professional with a Bachelor’s degree in Finance and a minor in Management, and I currently work as a qualified KiwiSaver Adviser. I’ve developed practical experience helping people make smarter financial decisions, with a particular interest in budgeting, financial planning, and building strong money habits. My approach to budgeting focuses on clarity and practicality. I believe a good budget isn’t about restriction - it’s about understanding where your money goes and aligning it with what matters most to you. Tools like PocketSmith are incredibly powerful when used well, helping people track spending, forecast future finances, and gain confidence in their financial decisions. I enjoy working with individuals who want to take greater control of their finances, whether they’re starting their first budget, improving their savings habits, or planning for future goals. Beyond this, I’m a keen chess player and a passionate sports fan, choosing to enjoy the social aspect of sport due to a lack of capability - something which doesn’t correlate to my budgeting advice.
