Speaking about The War memorial in France for NZ WW1 soldiers

Greg is the founding Director of Financial Planning NZ Ltd, now known as OnePlan, and he
was responsible for the company's creation.

After graduating as an Accountant in 1975, Greg was employed in a number of accountancy-related roles
before joining the NZ Police in 1980. Whilst there, he studied law at Auckland University. He left the Police in

company's most successful adviser. In 1992, Greg was selected as financial planner of the year, and in the
same year he left IPD Securities to carry out a long-cherished goal of establishing his own practice - New
Zealand Financial Planning. Greg founded NZFP, which eventually became a nation-wide company. In 2014
Greg decided to exit NZFP to concentrate on his Auckland-based practice, and in doing so rebranded his
business as Financial Planning New Zealand Ltd (FPNZ). In 2018 the company was again rebranded to
OnePlan, to reflect the core focus of the business – planning for retirement.

can provide this security to his clients by assisting them to adopt a sane, sound, sensible approach to the
creation and protection of wealth.
