Financial Planning For Doctors & Dentists

As a doctor or dentist, you’re probably used to being an expert in your field after years of studying to master the art and science of practising medicine or dentistry. But when it comes to taking control of your financial well-being, most doctors or dentists don’t have any more insight than the next guy or girl.

Doctors and dentists have unique financial planning needs. At MyFuture, our Qualified Financial Advisers understand these needs and have the knowledge and experience to provide you with a personalised service that protects you now, secures your future, and keeps you prepared for whatever life throws at you.

Whether you’re just beginning your career as a doctor or dentist or you’re a seasoned veteran, there are ample opportunities for you to make the most of your income while preparing for your dream retirement. Knowing where and how to invest your money means finding the sweet spot between risk and reward so you can reap the benefits of your hard work.

Financial planning for doctors and dentists requires striking a balance between making the most of their income, while at the same time ensuring they have the resources to pursue their lifestyle goals.

In order to do that, a healthy mix of savings and investments is required to optimise your current and future plans so you don’t end up working for nothing.

What is our 6-Step Financial Advice Process?

The 6-step financial advice process is the international benchmark for financial planning. This holistic approach is proven to increase the likelihood of you achieving your financial goals.

Steps 1 and 2

Understand Your Decision

We start by understanding your goals, financial position, and the decision you’re trying to make. You may already have done your own research, used AI, listened to podcasts, or compared options. That’s completely fine — our role is to understand where you’re at and where you feel stuck. We do this during a Discovery Session.

Steps 2 and 3

Validate, Refine or Rebuild

Next, we review your situation, run the numbers, and assess the options available to you. Sometimes your thinking is on the right track. Sometimes it needs refining. And sometimes a different strategy is required. Our job is to help you make a confident, well-informed decision based on your life, your goals and your long-term financial future.

Step 5

Take Action

A good decision only matters if it gets implemented. Once you decide on the right strategy, we help you put it in place. Whether that involves restructuring lending, setting up investments, reviewing insurance, updating KiwiSaver, or working with other professionals. We don’t just hand you a plan and leave you to figure it out. We're here with you for the entire journey.

Step 6

Stay Accountable

This is where long-term progress happens. We continue to monitor your position, review your strategy, and help keep you accountable as life changes. Whether interest rates move, your income changes, you receive an inheritance, buy a property, or simply need guidance on the next decision, we’re here to help you stay on track.
