Financial Adviser – KiwiSaver & Insurance
Auckland | MHQ

A rare opportunity to help shape a growing advice division.
MHQ is growing and we’re looking for the right Financial Adviser to join our expanding KiwiSaver and Insurance team.

This is not just another advice role, this is an opportunity to step into a business with strong momentum, warm referral pathways, established client relationships, and a clear ambition to become one of New Zealand’s leading advice businesses across mortgages, KiwiSaver, insurance and wealth.

We’re looking for someone who wants to give meaningful advice, build long-term client relationships, and be part of a team that is genuinely building something.

The role
This is a hybrid KiwiSaver and Insurance advice role. You’ll be working with both new and existing MHQ clients, providing advice across both areas.

If your background is mainly in KiwiSaver, we’d want you to be open to developing your capability in personal insurance advice. If your background is mainly in insurance, we’d want you to be open to building your KiwiSaver advice capability.

We’re looking for someone who sees value in providing more than just one part of financial advice and wants to become a more well-rounded adviser over time.

You’ll be supported by a strong internal referral network, particularly from our established mortgage team, meaning you’ll be having quality conversations with clients who already know and trust MHQ.

This is not a cold-calling role.

You won’t be expected to spend your days chasing leads from scratch. Instead, you’ll be working within a business that has real client flow, real opportunity, and a growing demand for quality financial advice.

The right person will play an important role in helping us grow this part of the business properly.

What you’ll be doing
In this role, you’ll:

• Provide clear, practical and compliant KiwiSaver advice.
• Provide personal insurance advice across areas such as life, trauma, income protection, mortgage protection and health insurance.
• Work closely with MHQ mortgage advisers to identify client needs and advice opportunities.
• Build strong, long-term relationships with clients through reviews and ongoing advice.
• Help clients make informed decisions about their financial future.
• Maintain accurate advice records and meet compliance requirements.
• Contribute to the growth and development of MHQ’s KiwiSaver and Insurance division.
• Be part of a collaborative advice environment where the client outcome comes first.

Who we’re looking for
We’re looking for someone who is capable, motivated and client-focused.

Someone who understands the responsibility that comes with giving financial advice, but also sees the opportunity in being part of a business that is growing quickly.

Ideally, you’ll have:

• Level 5 Financial Advice qualification (non-negotiable).
• Experience providing KiwiSaver advice and/or personal insurance advice.
• A willingness to upskill across both KiwiSaver and Insurance if your experience is stronger in one area.
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
• Confidence working with clients and referral partners.
• A professional, organised and compliant approach.
• Strong attention to detail.
• A team-first mindset.
• The ambition to grow with the business over time.

Why MHQ?
MHQ is an established advice business with a strong reputation in the mortgage market and a growing presence across KiwiSaver, insurance and broader financial advice.

Our purpose is the pursuit of financial freedom, demystified for Kiwis.

Joining MHQ means joining a business with:

• A strong and trusted brand.
• A large and growing client base.
• Quality referral opportunities.
• Dedicated administration and compliance support.
• Experienced leadership.
• A collaborative team culture.
• Clear growth plans across KiwiSaver, Insurance and Wealth.
• The chance to help shape an important part of the business.

This is a role where the right person can make a real impact, not just by writing advice, but by helping us build the standard, structure and client experience for what this division becomes.
