We help Kiwis take control of their finances
At enable.me we want to help you achieve your financial goals so you can unlock the freedom to live life on your terms.
How it all began
enable.me was founded in 2007 by Hannah McQueen.
For over 18 years, enable.me’s range of programmes has helped thousands of Kiwis take control of their finances, grow their wealth, and get ahead.
enable.me was acquired by AdviceFirst in 2023 – a move designed to offer even greater support to clients. This gave enable.me clients access to a wider range of qualified insurance, wealth, and KiwiSaver advisers, making the combined business one of the largest advice firms in New Zealand.
Since then, enable.me has launched moneyfit.me, a digital coaching and financial wellbeing platform designed to support the growing need for financial literacy across New Zealand.

Hear what our clients have to say about their experience with enable.me
"We have been amazed at what a difference restructuring our banking has made to paying our mortgage off quicker."
"Thank you for the meeting. You gave good guidance which I found really helpful. You have a lovely way about you, Karen, and I really appreciated that. I felt listened to and guided without being judged."
"enable.me has made us more aware of our spending and what the possibilities are when it come to our finances and paying off our mortgage. We are extremely excited about what we will achieve in the next few years."
"I liked that Kristin was thorough, didn't judge my spending habits, and made me feel like I've got options. She also explained things in ways that were easy to understand."
"I like that it was a personalised service. My consultant was knowledgeable and able to answer my questions with clarity & non-judgement. I was able to establish some clarity for my goals in the timeframe."
"Having an independent person review our spending is helpful in regard to knowing what is normal or excessive. My husband is more likely to listen to our advisor than his wife."
"enable.me has really helped me keep on track with my financial goals. We have a great relationship with our coach, who gives us amazing, honest advice and keeps us accountable. I believe without the help of enable.me we would not have purchased our first home. Thank you!!"
"I appreciate that it's completely personalised to me and my circumstances, not a cookie cutter one size fits all."
"We just need to tell you that Matt is amazing! He listens and we always get precise and honest guidance on our current financial situation and strategy for the future. We couldn't do without him. Thank you, Matt!"
"I felt there was no judgment from the advisor I had my initial meeting with. She listened to me and by asking further questions was able to lead into deeper conversations. I also felt safe speaking with her and feel confident moving forward with what I want to achieve."
"Personalised, informative, scary but in a positive way. No hard sell, just facts & data."
"Felt that Katie interpreted exactly where I was at and what I needed. I felt heard."
"Loved how honest Shelley was. Have already made our first recommendation."
Thanks so much, Maylyn, for all your guidance this past year, helping us to have better understanding and take better control of our finances.
It's been an amazing journey so far!
“Being mortgage-free is a major milestone for us…There is absolutely no way we would have achieved this without the help of enable.me. They push you (but not too hard!) to be brave. It’s been fantastic to have people in our corner giving expert advice. A seriously life-changing experience!”
“Lisa was open and honest with us. She builds rapport quickly and effectively”
“Lisa is non-judgemental, very kind and has a real passion for helping people be the best they can be.”
“Professional, expert, non-judgemental, friendly, understanding – the whole package!”
“Katie is fantastic, focused on what we can achieve & has really made us understand how our money can work for us”
“Katie is brilliant to work with because she goes on the journey alongside you – she understands you & what will work best for your family”
“Ray was professional, but also laid back – which really helped our nerves!”
“Importantly, we did not feel any judgement about our current financial situation. Ray clearly outlined what’s possible for us to achieve, and we’re confident that we will have the support to meet our goals. We should have done this years ago”
“Liz is so good at what she does! She helps me feel like it’s a work in progress and provides practical next steps”
“Dealing with finance's can be quite confronting, but Liz was open, honest, straight to the point and made us feel so comfortable”
“We feel so comfortable and relaxed talking about our plan. We feel confident we will do this, knowing you’re beside us every step of the way.”
“We come away from each meeting feeling very motivated & excited to put our action plan into place & reap the benefits.”
“Working with you has allowed me to get my life to a place where I’m happy, in control, and in a job that’s paying me what I’m worth. Wonderful unexpected side effects to sorting my finances out.”

“Sarah gave me confidence in where I can get to in the future”
