At The Finance Team, we do things differently. We believe finance should feel human, not hard!
That’s exactly why Matt and Danny founded the business four years ago - to bring a more personal, down-to-earth approach to finance. They saw a need for a team that treated clients like people, not numbers and built a business around genuine relationships, trust and results. What started as two mates with a shared passion for helping people reach their financial goals has grown into one of Hawke’s Bay’s most trusted, people-first finance teams.
Behind every great result is a great team and that’s exactly what you’ll get with The Team.
Our experienced Hawke’s Bay advisers work together to deliver tailored financial solutions that help our clients move forward with confidence.
We’re trustworthy, driven, energetic and we love championing our clients’ success. Our commitment to excellence helps us deliver smarter advice, faster solutions and results that make a real difference.
Meet our award winning team behind smarter advice and better results.
