About Us
PFG is a family business, established May 2002 when our founder, Neil, left an Executive Senior Management career at BNZ. He saw a gap in the market to provide personalised relationship banking with a strong focus on quality, informed and easily understood advice.
We believe that a professional environment (with a big whiteboard) is more conducive to educating our clients, so our client meetings are held at our office or using online meetings like Zoom or Teams. With our unique workshop style approach, we provide improved financial literacy and awareness to our client’s, who get that we help them achieve more than simply a great deal. Competitive cash contributions and interest rates are simply a given - we like to provide a bit more than just that!
With more than 40 years financial services experience, we’re able to help you make better financial decisions & save significant money. We take pride in providing friendly, uncomplicated and real, usable advice that is easy to turn into results. Yes, we know our stuff but equally know how to talk in plain English!
We’re always upskilling
We operate in a very close & supportive team environment. This ensures we talk and learn from each other and most of all, you as our client, get well looked after with the best advice at all times! While we have experience, we don’t rest on that – we’re focused on continuous process improvement and knowledge build. Our culture is therefore one of investing in ongoing, relevant education and training to ensure we remain best positioned to assist you now and into the future.
We’re focused on helping clients understand that it’s not all about the money - introducing The Bubbles Programme
In 2006, Neil created a unique workshop and course to help people gain clarity around the concept of money in and on, their life. Focusing on simple, yet effective strategies helps our client/s create stable relationships and focused life goals, leading to a strong sense of self-purpose, achievement and emotional stability. This workshop has already helped over 200 couples and individuals that were stuck in a rut, chasing capitalistic goals without understanding the Why!
