Lance Jensen

Financial Adviser, Business Coach, and CFO Director in Wellington, New Zealand

I believe life’s too short to spend 45 of your best years grinding away, only to “retire” on whatever’s left of superannuation. That’s a horrible deal.

I realised this early on, so instead of settling for the default path, I set out to build financial freedom through property, business, and smart investing. At 22 I bought my first investment property, at 25 I launched my first business, and ever since then I’ve been focused on creating wealth – not just for myself and my family, but for the people I work with.

What I Do
**********
Today, I’m a Financial Adviser with Opes Partners, specialising in property investment as a vehicle to secure retirement. I help ambitious professionals and families:
- Understand their wealth gap and what’s required to bridge it
- Build portfolios that generate real, lasting retirement income
- Avoid the costly mistakes I once made by overextending or chasing the wrong things
- Balance strategy with lifestyle – because the journey matters as much as the destination

Alongside this, I serve as CFO and Director at Strictly Savvy, where I help steer growth, strategy, and financial management in the virtual assistant space. And while my primary focus is financial advice, I continue to work closely with a small stable of business coaching clients – helping them cut through the noise, clarify priorities, and drive results.

Why It Matters
***************
My wife and I now hold a $6m+ property portfolio, run businesses, and (most importantly) have designed a lifestyle we love – summers wakeboarding on Lake Taupō, winters snowboarding on Mt Ruapehu, and making memories with our two boys. We’re proof that financial freedom isn’t just about numbers on a spreadsheet; it’s about options, time, and shared experiences.

What Drives Me
****************
- Helping people stop “just getting by” and instead create wealth with intention
- Combining financial advisory, business strategy, and lived experience to give clients the complete picture
- Ensuring my boys (and my clients) start their working lives with stronger financial foundations than I ever did

If you’re serious about building wealth through property, or want to talk strategy for creating the lifestyle you actually want, let’s connect.
