The Budget Service is a free, confidential service available to anyone who needs help with managing their finances more effectively.

We have been operating since 1991 and have experienced, trained, budget advisors that can work alongside you to help where needed – whether it be to check your budget is right for you, through to working longer term with you to reduce your debt.  We have a good working relationship with most local businesses and banks.

Our Budget Service is affliated to the NZ Federation of Family Budgeting Services   (www.familybudgeting.org.nz ) which usually enables us to access better payment options or conditions for our clients. Our Budget Advisors are trained by NZFFBS and we are also audited by NZFFBS each year to make sure we provide a quality service in accordance with their national standards and guidelines.
