Sakhi Nair

Kia ora, I am Sakhi, a Financial Adviser specialising in KiwiSaver, investments and personal insurance. I am passionate about helping my clients feel financially empowered, by growing wealth to achieve your goals through KiwiSaver and investments, and protect those goals through insuring your greatest asset – you.

As a financially independent migrant, I understand how overwhelming it can be to juggle multiple priorities, and still have confidence in your financial decisions. After several years of working as a patisserie chef, and being thrown a few curveballs, I decided to take control of my finances and studied Small Business Management and Money Management a few years ago. I realised how empowering it can feel when a trusted professional helps you make finances more approachable, and I wanted to do the same for others. I embarked on a career in financial services, and while that might seem like a very different world compared to hospitality, my past experience shapes a lot of how I work today. Hospitality teaches you to listen well, communicate clearly, and focus on people. You learn very quickly that good service is about understanding what matters to someone, paying attention to detail, and creating trust through consistency. That is exactly the mindset I now bring into financial advice.

I believe time is our greatest asset, but with so many conflicting priorities, current demands can make us lose sight of our future. Financial planning can often slip down to the bottom of our to-do list when we are often busy working hard, taking care of our loved ones, and don’t have time or headspace to step back and consider if we are making the most of the opportunities available to us. This is especially true when it comes to KiwiSaver, as we often leave such an important asset on autopilot. Insurance can be daunting and bring up uncomfortable conversations, but I believe risk protection strategies should be motivated by freedom, not fear. The freedom to heal, rest and keep living the life you built. It’s not just about survival, but resilience to stay on track, and get back to what matters most to you despite curveballs. I work with you to first simplify your present, and build a strong foundation for achieving your long-term aspirations.

My role is to help you move towards your goals with a plan rather than guesswork. Your money should work as hard for you as you do, and I am here to guide you through the noise. Money is deeply personal, which is why my advice is driven by curiosity and empathy. It’s not just about the numbers, but the story behind the numbers.
