I’m Jan Viljoen, an independent New Zealand financial adviser. I believe financial advice should give people the confidence to move forward. With the right plan and the commitment to follow it, we can build greater security for our families and turn our ambitions into achievable goals.

Family is at the heart of who I am and why I do this work. Caring for the people we love means thinking beyond today—protecting what matters and creating opportunities for the next generation. That responsibility shapes the way I care for my own family and advise others.

I also know what it feels like to start again.

In 2015, my family and I moved to New Zealand. Alongside the excitement came the challenges of finding our feet: a new job, an unfamiliar financial system, and money that had to work in a different currency under different rules. It was a time of opportunity, uncertainty and learning.

That experience is part of why I share what I know. Through my work and writing, I bring together professional expertise and personal experience to make financial decisions easier to understand—and help people feel more confident about the future they are building.
