Careers

At AdviceFirst, we are the expertise, people and resources to give New Zealander’s the advice that’s needed, when it’s needed.

Our people are people’s people

We pride ourselves on being experts, but we won’t use complicated jargon. Instead, we take the time to understand exactly what our clients want, or more importantly what they need. Then we will put forward ideas and make recommendations personalised for them. We’re not off the shelf! No one-size-fits-all, she’ll-be-right.
We offer people the environment to flourish, grow and develop. We aren’t your normal workplace – we’re not rigid, boring or the status quo. We push each other to not just do good but do great!
We also give a damn. About our clients, about our people and our community. We have an extensive benefits programme; we give back and we support causes which are dear to our heart.

So, what are you waiting for?
