Who Is Lyn Bell?

Until I started my own business in 1998 I had a total of 28 years experience in the Banking Industry, both in New Zealand and in Africa. During this time I gained invaluable experience in the Financial Services Industry from the perspective of a Banker. This included in the areas of International, Lending, Investment and Insurance.

After completing courses and study relating to the financial services industry I became a trainer in the field of Unit Trusts (mutual funds) for the bank. From 1996 I was employed as an in-house Financial Planner for the staff at the Flight Centre, setting up their New Zealand division. Here I was responsible for assisting the staff and their families with financial advice.


I am a member of the Institute of Financial Advisers (IFA) and a member of SIFA (Society of Independent Financial Advisers). I have completed my studies through Massey University and am now CFP registered.


I am a Past President of ITC (International Training in Communication)and a member of the Auckland Chamber of Commerce.


My Mission Statement: �To help my clients set and achieve their financial goals for the lifestyle of their choice.�
