Hi, I’m Ella. The founder of Jillian Wealth and a licensed KiwiSaver adviser.

After years working in the investment industry, I saw how often everyday New Zealanders felt unsure, overwhelmed, or unsupported when it came to their KiwiSaver. I started Jillian Wealth to change that.

My approach is simple: I offer clear, personalised advice - with no jargon, no pressure, and no hidden agenda. Just the support you need to feel confident in your choices and in control of your financial future.

Why Kiwisaver

Because KiwiSaver deserves more than a “she’ll be right” approach.

It’s easy to forget about KiwiSaver, or think about it as something you’ll worry about later. But the truth is, the decisions you make now (or don’t make) can have a lasting effect. The fund you’re in, how much you contribute, and whether it fits your stage of life all influence what your future looks like. Many Kiwis don’t realise how much is at stake, or how small changes can make a meaningful difference.

how it works

Simple, supportive, and tailored to your needs.

Getting KiwiSaver advice doesn’t have to be complicated. Here’s how we’ll work together:

01
Book a free consulation

I offer flexible appointments including afternoons and evenings,  and can meet with you online or in person. Whichever suits you best.

02
We'll review your KiwiSaver together

We’ll review your current fund, fees, and investment strategy to ensure you are getting the most out of your KiwiSaver and it is aligned with your goals.

Continous on-going support

Your situation can change and your KiwiSaver should reflect that. We'll check in annually, and we are only a phone call away if questions come up sooner.

"Ella was extremely helpful in explaining the technicalities of KiwiSaver in simple terms. As I’m pretty new to KiwiSaver, I really appreciated that she took the time to understand my situation and future plans before recommending the best option for me. I had several questions, and Ella was happy to answer all of them patiently. The process was smooth, informative, and genuinely interesting. I would highly recommend Ella to anyone who is new to KiwiSaver or looking for friendly, helpful advice on maximising their KiwiSaver returns."

Frequently asked questions

Does this cost anything?

No, consultations and advice are completely free.

How do you get paid?

We’re paid by the providers, so it doesn’t cost you anything extra to get our help. Whether you choose to work with us or not, your KiwiSaver fees remain the same.

What providers do you work with?

We work with a select group of trusted KiwiSaver providers, including Generate, NZ Funds, Milford, Booster and Pathfinder.

How long do meetings take?

Most sessions take around 20 minutes. It’s a quick and supportive process designed to give you clarity without the jargon.

What should I bring to my consultation?

It’s helpful to know who your current KiwiSaver provider is and how your money’s invested - but if you’re not sure, that’s totally okay too.

Can you help if I’m already in a KiwiSaver fund?

Yes, and that’s most people. Sometimes, nothing needs to change. Other times, a small shift could make a big difference.

What if I don’t want to change anything?

No problem. My job isn’t to push you into anything, it’s to help you feel informed and confident, whatever you decide.

What makes your advice unbiased?

I’m not tied to any one provider. If your current setup is already working for you, I’ll tell you. If I recommend something else, I’ll explain why, clearly and with your goals in mind.
