What does Discovery Financial Services do?

We’re a family-run financial advice business based in East Tamaki, Auckland. We provide insurance, KiwiSaver and mortgage advice for individuals, families and businesses, and have worked with more than 6,000 clients since Ron Gadsdon started the business in 2009.

How is working with us different from going straight to a bank or insurer?

You deal with a small team who get to know you and your situation, so you’re not starting from scratch every time you call. We compare options from a range of insurers, lenders and KiwiSaver providers, explain them in plain language, and can help you review things as your needs change.

Who will I be working with?

Our team includes four advisers: Ron, Shane and Jason Gadsdon, who advise on insurance and KiwiSaver, and Brad Whitfield, who advises on mortgages. We’re a small team, so you deal with real people who know your name and your story.

How much does your advice cost?

We don’t charge a fee for insurance or KiwiSaver advice, as we’re paid a commission by the provider. Mortgage advice is usually free too, though a fee can apply in some situations. We’ll explain how we’re paid as part of the advice process, and full details are on our Disclosure information page.

Are you a licensed financial adviser?

Yes. Discovery Financial Services Limited (FSP150464) holds a financial advice provider licence issued by the Financial Markets Authority, and Discovery Mortgages Limited (FSP1001261) is authorised under that licence. If you ever have a complaint we can’t resolve, you can contact the Insurance & Financial Services Ombudsman, a free, independent dispute resolution service.

Do you keep in touch after I've taken out a policy, set up a KiwiSaver plan or home loan?

Yes, that's the part we care about most. We can review your insurance, KiwiSaver and mortgage with you over time, to check they still suit your situation. A new baby, a new house or a new business are all good times to give us a call.

Where are you based?

Our office is at Building 8, 15 Accent Drive, East Tamaki, Auckland 2013. You can call us on 09 271 2570 or email info@discoveryfinancialservices.co.nz.

How do I get started?

Get in touch to arrange a time to talk. You can call us on 09 271 2570, email info@discoveryfinancialservices.co.nz, send us a message or book a call through our website, and we’ll take it from there.

Let's talk about what matters to you

Whether it's protecting your family, reviewing your KiwiSaver investment or finding a suitable home loan, we're here to help now and in the years ahead.
