Success is a long-term project

Most people wait until they have sold their business or handed over the farm to think about what comes next. By then, many of the best opportunities for tax efficiency and capital protection have already passed.

At Earnslaw Goodlight, we work with you long before the “For Sale” sign goes up. We help you build an investment portfolio outside of your primary business, creating a safety net that allows you to step away on your own terms.

Our investment advice services include:

KiwiSaver advice to make sure your contributions are working hard enough.

Investment strategies built around your goals and timeline.

Farm Succession Planning – We act as the objective partner to help navigate the financial transition of the family farm between generations.

Retirement Planning – We ensure your “life’s work” provides for your “life’s enjoyment” without the headache of managing tenants or property.

KiwiSaver Advice

“I founded Earnslaw Goodlight because I saw too many New Zealanders receiving advice shaped by a bank’s sales targets rather than their own family’s future. Retirement should be the simplest part of your financial life. We are here to make sure it is.”
