Our Speakers:

James Henderson - Savings Investments advisor, Business Specialist

With an extensive history as a business owner in Wellington's hospitality industry for almost thirty years, I've gained a wealth of experience in how businesses run and what financial support business owners need. My focus is on providing clients with down to earth, practical advice and services they need to thrive financially. The highlight of my work is devising strategies that address the unique financial situations of business owners. Outside the office, I'm a family man with a love for the outdoors, mountain biking, and exploring new local culinary delights.

Manisha Raman - 1st Home Buyer, Mortgage adviser

My inspiration to start a career in financial services came from my personal experience of working with an adviser, Lance, who helped me realize how I could leverage my house to buy a second property. It was an awesome feeling to successfully get onto the property ladder at a young age, and that inspired me to help others do the same. My work as an adviser involves guiding clients towards financial freedom. Seeing them achieve their goals gives me so much satisfaction; it is incredibly rewarding to make a difference in someone’s life in that way. Outside of work, I love the outdoors and enjoy a good hike. My favourite pastime is working in my garden.

Tully Goodisson - KiwiSaver Adviser

With nine years of experience in the financial services industry, my passion for investment and KiwiSaver has grown, particularly influenced by my previous role at Booster Financial Services. My proudest and most cherished accomplishment is being a parent to my daughter Alexis, an incredible young person nearing the age of 12.
