Finansiële dienste
CHEEKY HIPPO FINANCIAL ADVISERS
I help South African immigrants in New Zealand protect their families, grow their savings, and navigate the Kiwi financial world — all explained with a smile, not a sales pitch.
I am Lydia – a South African-born financial adviser who traded biltong for feijoas, braais for barbies, and the Pretoria rush for the Kiwi way of life.
I know exactly what it’s like to move here and try to make sense of ACC, KiwiSaver, and why the doctor asks if you’ve “enrolled” before you can even get an appointment.
My mission? To make sure you and your family are financially protected and set up for success in NZ — without the boring jargon or stiff suits. I explain things simply, have a laugh along the way, and give advice you can actually use.
Why Choose Me?
Because you deserve advice that’s both genuinely good and fit for purpose. I want you to walk away feeling confident, understood, and maybe even smiling — yes, about life insurance and retirement. But here’s a couple of other reasons:
- I don’t just speak your language – I get your journey.
 
Yes, I can switch between Afrikaans and English without missing a beat. Whether you prefer your financial advice in perfect Queen’s English or sprinkled with a bit of Afrikaans slang, I’ve got you covered. No need to explain what a “braai” is, or why you still say “robot” instead of “traffic light” — I get it.
But more importantly, I’ve walked your path. I know the challenges, confusions, and surprises of starting over in NZ — because I’ve been there too.
- I make finance un-boring.
 
You won’t get a scripted sales pitch here. I keep it real, relatable, and maybe even a bit funny — because finance doesn’t have to be a snooze-fest. I’ll keep it informative, but I’ll also throw in a laugh or two. Life’s too short for stiff, jargon-filled meetings.
- I’m truly independent.
 
I’m not tied to one insurer. I find the best cover for you from a range of providers to find cover that actually fits your needs and budget — no cookie-cutter policies here.
- I’m here for the long haul.
 
I don’t disappear after your policy is signed. I check in, review, and adjust as your life changes — because your cover should grow with you.
