With a background in commercial strategy and business management, he brings a practical, forward-thinking approach to financial planning – particularly when it comes to optimising business exits.
His work often involves planning for a business sale, exiting a partnership, or simply preparing for life after work.

Originally from Titirangi, Auckland, Dominic moved to Christchurch in 2019, drawn by his love of the South Island’s geography. He now lives in Shirley with his wife, two children, and their dog, and enjoys getting out to explore Aotearoa’s natural beauty whenever he can.
Dominic holds a Bachelor of Business (Management) and draws on his experience to support a wide range of clients through complex transitions with clarity and confidence.

Dom's Insights
For most business owners, their company represents the cornerstone of their financial future. Yet many postpone exit planning until it’s nearly time to sell. As a wealth adviser who’s guided numerous business owners through this process, I’ve seen firsthand how early preparation can dramatically impact both the sale price and the smoothness of the transition.
In 2005, Peter Christman and Richard Jackim, wrote a book called ‘The $10 Trillion Opportunity’. The $10 Trillion in the title references the wave (or more precisely, tsunami) of business sales currently underway as baby boomer business owners enter retirement and look to sell their businesses.
