Gareth Dobson | Financial Adviser
After a decade of working as a registered electrician and communications technician in New Zealand and Australia, Gareth decided it was time for a career change. With his outgoing nature, he wanted to work in a dynamic industry where he could help New Zealanders. After completing his financial services qualification, Gareth founded Finsol in 2010 and hasn’t looked back.
With his previous work experience, Gareth understands the challenges faced by trades business owners. He is devoted to helping his clients create long-term security and financial freedom.
Gareth is an ocean lover and keen surfer. When he’s not advising or assisting with claims, he’s searching the east coast for the best waves.
I get great satisfaction out of taking care of my clients’ insurance and ACC needs so they can get on with doing what they do best, building and maintaining New Zealanders’ homes and businesses.
Paul Ejamme | Financial Adviser
A self-professed number lover, Paul holds a Massey University degree majoring in Finance and Economics. After three years’ experience in lending, investments, and insurance, Paul joined Finsol and now heads our Home Loan team.
As well as his expertise with lending, Paul also enjoys helping his clients with their cash flow and money management and has plenty of sage budgeting advice up his sleeve.
In his spare time, Paul leads an active lifestyle and enjoys getting outdoors and exploring the beautiful Hawke’s Bay.
I’ve always been into numbers, finance, and investments, both in my personal and professional life. With my role, I am lucky to be able to use my love of numbers to help people.
Jordan Jujnovich | Financial Adviser
Jordan recently joined the Finsol team after six years in Australia, where he worked in construction before making the switch to the financial services sector after completing his Australian financial services qualification. With a strong belief that getting to know people is the key to offering the best advice, Jordan fits perfectly into the client-centric culture of Finsol.
In his spare time, Jordan heads into the backcountry as often as possible to maintain a sound body and mind. He is also a diehard All Blacks fan who loves to surf.
The key to financial freedom and security is to start with small manageable steps to set you on the path to achieving something much larger. I love guiding clients as we develop their skills to allow them to reach their goals.
Hayley Evans | Insurance Adviser
Hayley began her financial services career in 2011 working at ASB (and later at Sovereign) and became part of team Finsol in 2015. With her straightforward approach to insurance alongside her extensive background in the industry, Hayley’s experience is an asset to the Finsol group.
Hayley enjoys staying fit, healthy and motivated by attending the gym and taking part in national fitness competitions.
The most rewarding experience I’ve had so far at Finsol was getting a child cancer claim paid after the family were told they weren’t entitled to anything. It’s amazing being able to make a real difference in people’s lives.
Heino Jansen van Rensburg | Insurance Adviser
Before kicking off his career in the insurance industry in January 2016 in New Zealand, Heino owned his own businesses and worked in a corporate environment in various multinational companies in South Africa.
Heino believes in doing what is best for clients. He is well versed in all forms of insurance and highly skilled in providing comprehensive, yet cost-effective insurance solutions, and is currently busy completing his financial services qualifications to support his role.
In his spare time, Heino loves to cycle. He’s a strong supporter of the Youth Cycling Development and frequently does cycle tours around New Zealand. He also likes to travel with his family to see what the world has to offer.
There’s nothing more satisfying than helping others to make the right financial decisions, and supporting them when they need it most

Steph is an accomplished copywriter and works behind the scenes on marketing and brand direction for Finsol. In her spare time, she loves to travel, read, and explore the vibrant food and wine scene in beautiful Hawke’s Bay.
I love the modern approach Finsol takes to what are traditionally quite formal services; we constantly think outside the box. I’m proud to be part of an innovative company that truly cares about its clients.
