About Naveed Balouch

I help hard working Kiwis improve their financial well-being and onto the pathway towards achieving financial independence at, or prior to retirement. This includes helping those who are already in a good position, consolidate, protect and augment their hard earned status.With over 10 years of providing bespoke financial advice and planning services that help our clients onto a pathway towards financial independence, I have conducted more than 1,200 personal financial consultations, while helping create and deliver over personalised financial plans. My company, Home Advantage, also helps facilitate the implementation of key recommendations and strategies, in accordance with one of our guiding principles:Knowledge & Expertise x Action = Improved Outcomes. Before moving into the personal financial planning sector, I accumulated 25+ years experience in senior leadership roles within the corporate and government sectors, focusing on strategic business development, sales and marketing leadership, people development and team building. I have been fortunate enough to work in USA, Central Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and the South Pacific.Some of my key achievements in the corporate and government sectors were related to: Creating market leadership in advertising in a region spanning 5 countries, winning the business of an enterprise client worth $ 60 M in NZ, quadrupling new business sales for a financial services company, helping the government of Japan consolidate their $ 600 M ODA programme, and working on a World Bank Project, overseeing the privatisation of a large public sector telecommunications entity. I also worked in the aviation industry, as a pilot and CAA manager.My experience and expertise are well served by a life-long passion for continual study, learning and personal development, which also led to a Master's degree in Management. These days, I leverage all my experience, expertise and knowledge towards enabling and empowering individuals, couples, families and businesses improve their performance, towards reaching optimal states, that deliver expressed goals.
