"People don't have a money problem, they have a priority problem. I like to focus on educating clients on how to increase passive income, diversify their assets and protect their risks."
Empowering Your Financial Future
- Qualified Financial Planner (Level 5 Certificate)
- Specialising in Investment & KiwiSaver Advice
- Independent & Transparent
I have been investing privately in real estate since 1999 and focused on my own wealth creation
as a passion.
I joined the financial services industry in 2016 and formally as an adviser
in 2020. I then started as a self employed retirement planner with The Advice Hub in 2020 and
left to build my own practice ‘Authentic Advisers’ in 2025.
I also received the Financial Advice NZ Trusted Adviser mark in 2025 which recognises a high standard of professional ethics. I gained even more experience and formal qualifications in financial planning, wealth management and retirement planning after teaching workshops at Manawatū Business Chamber, Taranaki Chamber of Commerce and Nelson Tasman Chamber of Commerce.
I am a qualified Financial Planner and have completed the New Zealand Certificate (Level 5) for Financial Services specialising in residential and commercial property lending and investment including KiwiSaver Advice.
Authentic Advisers was built to provide honest, integrity-driven advice. We give priority to your interests by taking all reasonable steps to make sure our advice isn't materially influenced by our own interests.
Our Services

Investment & KiwiSaver
We discuss what level of financial risk you are comfortable with and recommend a fund type that best matches your attitude toward risk and your timeline.
Retirement Planning
Planning for life past 65. We analyse your current situation and tailor a plan for your disposable income to ensure you have peace of mind for your future.

Moving your retirement savings across borders can be a complex process. We specialise in helping you navigate the transfer of your Superannuation or Pension funds, ensuring you remain compliant with local regulations while maximising your long-term wealth.

Our Fee Structure
We believe in clarity and honesty when it comes to costs. Fees will vary depending on the service. We do not charge fees for KiwiSaver advice, reviews or initial consultations. There is a fee incurred with formal reports. You may be required to pay third-party fees as a result of recommended investments which may include fund manager fees, fund administration fees, performance fees and transaction fees. Your authority to proceed will be required before any fees are implemented. The fee will be invoiced to you at the completion of the advice and will be payable within seven working days.
Privacy & Your Personal Data
We collect the personal information we need to provide you with financial advice and to meet our legal obligations. Most of this information is provided directly by you, and by giving it to us you agree that we may collect, hold and use it for these purposes.
Sometimes we may need to collect information about you from other sources, such as product providers, public records, or other advisers involved in your financial affairs. When this happens, the Privacy Act 2020 requires us to take reasonable steps to let you know what information we have collected, why we need it, how we will use it, and who it may be shared with.
We only collect information that is necessary for providing advice or meeting our regulatory requirements.
Where we collect personal information about you from sources other than you, we will take reasonable steps to notify you of that collection and the purpose for which it is used, unless notification is not required or is otherwise permitted under the Privacy Act 2020.
You can ask to access or correct your information at any time by contacting us.

What Our Clients Say
"Five stars for Angie! She was instrumental in helping my partner and I organize our KiwiSaver's and preparing us for the leap into homeownership. Professional, approachable, and incredibly helpful—she made the whole experience a breeze!"
"I have really enjoyed my experience with Angela Authentic Advisers. The process from start to finish has been super easy, seamless in fact. Straight away I have confidence in the investments she has made with excellent returns apparent within the first month. Thanks so much Angela, I highly recommend her for your future investments."
"We had no clear pathway or plan in place for saving for our retirement other than Kiwisaver. We had never had any advice around Kiwisaver either, so weren't confident we were contributing the right percentage or that we were with a good provider on the right plan. I have peace of mind that I am doing something small today that will drastically impact what my life will be like post 65 years of age. Angie both listens and understands our needs and wants and can tailor something for us no matter the disposable income we have (nothing is too small to start with)."
"Thanks Angie @ Authentic Advisers for all the great advice and for helping me get financially sorted, it couldn't have been an easier experience. Also thank you for helping my daughter with her finances, you have an amazing ability to make things understandable to all of us."
"I attended a series of Angie's workshops that was held through the Manawatu Business Chamber about 18 months ago. The workshops were extremely insightful. With retirement not far away for me and life changes, I was looking for better ways to make my money work. I knew after this workshop that with Angie's knowledge, honesty, integrity and always available for any questions or further advice was the way to go. I have never regretted taking her advice and working with her".
