Adam Currey

Financial Adviser

Adam joined the Financial Services industry in 2006 after 20 years as a professional pilot, originally with the RNZAF and subsequently as a contract pilot.

As well as aviation qualifications Adam completed an MBA at Southern Cross University in NSW, Australia in 2005. Additionally each year he completes ongoing accreditation courses for the financial institutions that he represents as well as attending industry association training seminars.

After many years in the financial services industry Adam maintains his enthusiasm for the industry through regular interaction with the many interesting clients. This not only includes arranging insurance and investment plans but also includes making a personal claim after experiencing a melanoma removal. It is through this shared experience of life’s ups and downs, and having to deal with the occasional crooked feed, twisted scrum or ‘visually challenged’ referee that a comprehensive, affective and appropriate financial plan can be formulated for you, your family and your business.

When Adam is not playing ‘devil’s advocate’ he is trying to convince his clients to maintain work life balance and possibly take up mountain biking!

He recently celebrated 25 years as a member of the Chartered Accountants of Australia and New Zealand organisation.

Nicholas Temm

Financial Adviser

Have you reached that stage in your life when you have gathered the usual (or unusual) family and professional responsibilities?

Nicholas Temm shares this experience as he has three wonderful (but expensive) children and a mortgage.

He and his wife engaged Adam Currey as their financial adviser to help them provide for and protect their family.

Nicholas admired Adam’s professional approach. He strongly believes in the relationship business model on which CFS Financial Services is built so he joined the team! His knowledge covers finance, banking, tax, accounting and insurance.

He brings with him many years of experience in the corporate banking sector, a Bachelor of Commerce degree from Auckland University and nine memorable years cheerfully backpacking around the world.

Nicholas has also had first-hand experience of a serious health problem, which had the potential to adversely impact on the family finances and the family wellbeing. Fortunately, as he had the appropriate health insurance, the problem was solved with minimal emotional and financial distress.

He specialises in a tailored insurance solution that meets the needs of you and your loved ones. This includes reviewing your current insurance policy suite. Nicholas has the knack of been able to translate the complex insurance policy wording and benefits in a way you can relate to. Contact Nicholas and make a time to discuss the best approach to protect your family, business, assets and income. Nicholas is a Register Financial Adviser, FSP # 440346.
