Helping New Zealanders retire with greater clarity and confidence.

Retirement planning is both financial and personal.
Rewire Planning is built around:

01.

Genuine, two‑way conversations

02.

A clear and repeatable process

03.

Written explanations you can keep and revisit

A clearer way to plan for retirement.

Rewire Planning provides structured, fixed‑fee retirement planning to help you understand your current position, define the retirement you would like, and map out the steps between the two. The outcome is a documented retirement plan and cashflow forecasts you can rely on when making key decisions.

Meet Ellie Pickford

Rewire Planning was created to address your questions with a clear process, detailed analysis and understandable recommendations, without product sales or commission‑based incentives.

Ellie’s approach is structured, patient and practical.

Each step of the programme is designed to help you clearly understand where you stand today, see your options and trade‑offs more clearly, and move forward with greater confidence in your decisions and the actions that follow.

Start at the end and work backwards.

Retirement brings a different set of financial questions and trade‑offs than your working years. It deserves its own plan.
