Know Your Worth
Financial Advice for women and their families
What does Advice for Women look like?
It looks like optimising your KiwiSaver so that you retire comfortably, despite a different career trajectory and gender pay gap.
It looks like getting more women investing in funds because growing wealth for yourself first, and your family second, is a valid goal.
It looks like putting insurances in place early because women’s illnesses often strike at a younger age and having cover can mean the difference between dependence on someone else and maintaining financial independence if you get sick.
It looks like building a financial plan based around your goals, dreams, money beliefs and real-life constraints.
A plan that reflects the life you’re dreaming of but haven’t created yet.
It looks like a generation of financially aware, confident and self-sufficient women building a world where they have choices.
Why we need advice for women, by women…
Over 60% of women worry about money daily, weekly or monthly: Finances are a worry for New Zealand women, with many worrying regularly about their finances. Over 70% feel that financial wellbeing has some or a major influence upon their overall wellbeing.
62% of women don’t feel prepared for retirement, however money worries decrease with age: Only 38% feel very or reasonably prepared for retirement compared to over half of male respondents. Women aged 60+ worry the least about money, while younger women worry the most.
Over 80% of women rate their financial wellbeing moderate, low or very low: Over 80% of female respondents consider their financial wellbeing to be moderate, low or very low.

We know that women have poorer outcomes across the board; whether it’s their KiwiSaver balance, their health or even the amount of free time we have in a day compared to men.
This means that the advice that helped your dad, brother or partner get ahead financially is probably not the right advice for you.
That’s why Know Your Worth was created, where we provide tailored, evidence based financial advice to meet women’s needs.
Nurses Permanent Discount
Community and giving back are at the heart of Know Your Worth, and for me one of the most important communities is that of the nurses around NZ.
Having worked as a nurse before I moved into finance I know how hard the job is and how undervalued.
Know Your Worth is about recognising value, supporting women and building community.
As a small business it can be hard to give back as much as you want, but to help the nurses around NZ where I can, Know Your Worth will always offer a 25% discount on Financial Plans to any nurse.
