Sheehan Financial

Sheehan Financial Independent financial advisers based in Nelson, helping Kiwis with KiwiSaver, insurance and financial planning. Locally owned and focused on practical advice.

Content shared is general in nature and not personalised financial advice. The battle for life balance is hard to win; how do you save for tomorrow but live for today? The answer is tactics, clever tactics: muster your resources, plan carefully and find your happy
place – the sweet spot between a risky manoeuvre and a secure stronghold. And that’s where we can help. Define your happy place, work

out which of those risks you can take, and what needs to be kept safe in the strongbox. Once you’ve got that, you’re off to live your life, knowing that today is for living, and tomorrow is secure. What more could you want from a financial advisor? We’re not a bank, or even a small institution. We’re a privately owned company with years of experience, vast qualifications and, most importantly, the philosophy that we’re here to help you live your life on your terms. We start by finding out a little bit about you, your life, what’s important and what’s not. Then the planning begins – what have you got, what do you need, what do you want and how do we make that happen. Mark Sheehan and Claire Corbysmith.

Insurance premiums have increased across much of New Zealand, and for many households it’s another expense being closely reviewed.

The temptation can be to simply cancel and move on.

But insurance isn’t a streaming service or gym membership. Once cover is cancelled, getting it back later isn’t always straightforward.

Depending on your circumstances, there may be other options available before making that decision.

✔ Review your cover
✔ Adjust your policy
✔ Reassess your priorities
✔ Make a plan that fits your current budget

Sam’s latest article explores why premiums are increasing, what is happening in the insurance market, and why it’s worth understanding your options before cancelling cover altogether.

Because insurance isn’t really about policies.

It’s about protecting your choices when life doesn’t go to plan.

📖 Read the full article and start the conversation.

Not every day at Sheehan Financial is spent behind a desk.

Over the past few weeks we’ve been out connecting with the Nelson community, from refreshing our team photos, to debating the future of AI and financial advice at Quotemonster, and supporting incredible local fundraising efforts at Victory Boxing’s Night With The Stars event.

We believe good advice starts with good conversations, and some of the best conversations happen outside the office.

A big thank you to everyone we’ve met along the way. We’re proud to be part of such a connected and supportive community.

“What exactly is it that you do?”

It’s a question Sam gets asked all the time.

The answer? It usually starts with a conversation.

Not about policies, premiums, or paperwork.

About your life.

If something unexpected happened tomorrow, would your family be okay? Could the mortgage still be paid? Would the bills keep getting covered? Would the people you care about have the support they need?

These aren’t always easy questions to think about, but they’re important ones.

At Sheehan Financial, insurance isn’t about selling cover. It’s about helping people understand the risks they’re exposed to and making sure they have a plan in place if life doesn’t go exactly as expected.

Sometimes all it takes is a conversation over a coffee to figure out where you stand.

Because life happens. Expect the unexpected.

A lot of people put insurance into the “I’ll sort it later” category.

Not because they don’t care — but because it can feel overwhelming. Too many options, too much information, and no clear place to start.

At Sheehan Financial, the goal is to make those conversations feel simpler, more practical, and easier to understand. No pressure. No complicated jargon. Just real conversations about protecting yourself, your family, and your future.

Turns out the hardest part is often just making the call.
