PEOPLE OF PAPATOETOE - Elle Wuthrich

Meet your friendly neighbourhood financial advisor.

Born and bred in South Auckland, Elle is a proud first-gen Kiwi with roots in Samoa (Lalovaea, Siufaga, Fagaloa) and Fiji (Wainibokasi). Papatoetoe isn’t just her postcode – it’s where she bought her first home, tied the knot in her backyard, and built a life surrounded by community, connection, and love.

By day, Elle is a financial adviser – but not the stiff, scary, judging side eye kind. She’s the lol'n, meet you at a cafe, share some tea kind. She's your coach, your hype-woman and planning buddy rolled into one. She makes smashing debt, buying your first home, setting up your Kiwisaver and prepping for retirement actually doable.

Her motto? Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Her mission? Paying forward the sacrifices her parents made so others can thrive.

Elle's drive is seeing everyday Kiwis (especially Pasifika, Māori & migrant families) realise they CAN build wealth, plan for their future, and live abundantly. Happy tears included.

Free. Confidential. Judgement-free. Always with heart.

Yes, FREE. Because in the words of Elle "financial literacy should never be out of reach".
