Helping Kiwis protect and reach their goals.

Gareth Dobson | Financial Adviser

After a decade of working in the construction industry, Gareth returned home and 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, and with advice and guidance from his father Paul – a former financial adviser with thirty-five years’ experience – Gareth founded Finsol and hasn’t looked back.

Gareth is devoted to helping people create long-term security and financial freedom. In the past year, Finsol has expanded to offer budgeting and saving advice, home loans, and KiwiSaver. Gareth is an ocean lover and keen surfer. When he’s not advising, he’s searching the east coast for the best waves.

I like to look at every aspect of my client’s lives, including their long-term and short-term goals. I believe in taking a holistic approach to financial wellness and freedom.

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.

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.

In her spare time, she 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.

Stephanie Viatos | Client Relationship Manager

After a career in the beauty industry, Steph embarked on a career in marketing and joined Finsol in 2016 as the social media manager. As the business grew, her role expanded to Client Relationship Manager, where she cares for the Finsol client base and keeps the day to day operations running smoothly in the office.

Steph is also 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.
