Get in the driver's seat of your finances with our Horowhenua & Kāpiti financial mentors
With over 40 years experience helping our local community with their budgeting and financial needs we’ve got the right stuff and the right people to get the job done. We’re proud of our reputation of being unswerving in helping you get the results you need as well as the fact that our much valued clients have said things like - “thank you - you’re the best” to “thank you for your kindness I really appreciated what you did”.
We’re more than just financial mentors; we can help you turn your whole life around by putting you back in the driver’s seat of your finances.
Our Horowhenua & Kāpiti financial mentors' role is to make managing money easier for you. This covers areas such as:
Budget Planning – One on One Advice
At Levin Budget Services we believe budgeting can be clear, realistic and feel extremely rewarding. Yes, really! With the right guidance and encouragement, taking control of your finances doesn’t have to feel so overwhelming and intimidating.
Debt management
When debt feels heavy, it affects every area of your life and we’re here to show you, you don’t have to carry it alone. We’ll work with you to explore options you may not have considered, helping relieve the stress on you and your whānau.
Creditor negotiations
Our experienced financial mentors at Budget Services Levin can support you with practical advice on communicating with creditors and setting up repayment arrangements that both parties feel are fair and manageable.
Insolvency options
Insolvency can make you feel alone and uncertain. The team at Budget Services Horowhenua are here to offer you help and guidance and replace the feeling of being judged with feeling supported
Savings Plans
When you need help creating a clear plan for your financial wellbeing, we’ll work with you to design a personalised savings strategy and guide you every step of the way as you bring it to life.
KiwiSaver Hardship Applications
Applying for an early KiwiSaver withdrawal due to hardship can feel complicated, but we’ll guide you through each stage and help you complete the required forms together.
Access to No or Low Interest Loans
We keep informed about safe and affordable lending options, helping connect you with suitable no or low interest loan solutions.
MoneyMates
Budget Services Horowhenua also offers MoneyMates. This is a welcoming small group space where you can share money experiences, build practical budgeting skills, explore debt and goal setting and grow your confidence in a supportive environment.
Managing your money and improving your finances when you’re in a tough position can be so overwhelming and isolating without support, guidance and the necessary tools to use for better financial health. The key is to ask us for assistance because we have the knowledge, expertise and tools to make it a lot easier and quicker to get back on track. Let us help you get peace of mind when it comes to managing your finances. We have Horowhenua & Kāpiti financial mentors in multiple locations throughout the region.

Join MoneyMates
MoneyMates is a way for you to meet with a small group of people where you feel safe to share new money management ideas, swap stories around money topics including money beliefs and money personalities, budgeting successes and fails (we all have them!) and what you did about them, goal setting examples, good and bad debt journeys and a whole lot more.
When we share our journey with others not only does it free us from that sense of embarrassment and in some cases shame, it creates a feeling of membership and belonging as we’re all there with a sense of understanding, compassion and empathy.
Here you will meet kindred spirits and in our honest opinion, you really are the brave ones because you’ve asked for help and you’ve stepped out of your comfort zone at a very vulnerable time of your life.
Our Horowhenua & Kāpiti financial mentors will be there to introduce you all and help set the agenda and of course, be on hand should any information be needed but our job is to just support the group.
Guess what the benefits are?
You’ll bond with strong allies and valuable contacts and in some cases; make great friends when you take part in a very empowering select group meeting at MoneyMates.
We believe financial planning is for everyone. To find out more contact us today
