Martin Hawes
Martin is an independent business and financial consultant, advising clients and speaking at seminars throughout Australasia on all aspects of business and finance. He brings the often seemingly complex aspects of finance, investment, taxation and trusts to a simple and understandable reality.
After a brief stint of teaching, Martin set up an importing and manufacturing company before becoming joint editor of Moneyline, an independent commentary on business, finance and investment.
He regularly writes for a number of other publications and is a prolific author. He has written many books on money matters, most recently: 'Money and Divorce – A New Zealand Guide to Separating your Finances', 'Eight Secrets of Investment Success' and 'Your Money Life-line – Plan & Enjoy Your Superannuation'.
His three previous books on family trusts, property investment in New Zealand and taxation were immediate best-sellers and have featured on the New Zealand best-seller list almost continuously since their publication.
He is national president of Save the Children New Zealand and on the board of the Community Trust of Southland.
Martin’s presentations are direct, simple, relevant and, most importantly, impart valuable financial and investment messages for all who attend.
