McBride Wealth – Our Story

McBride Wealth was established in 2024 by Tom McBride, following a decade of experience providing financial advice with a well‑regarded financial services firm in New Zealand. Drawing on this background, McBride Wealth provides independent financial advice to individuals and families in Christchurch and across New Zealand.

The firm was created to meet a need in the community for independent investment advice and bespoke financial advice for one‑off engagements. As a fee‑for‑service financial advice firm, we focus on transparent, client‑first guidance that supports long‑term financial wellbeing.

Our Approach

Our approach centres on delivering Whole of Life financial advice. We ensure your financial decisions remain aligned with your goals, values, and changing circumstances over time, taking a long‑term perspective so your financial strategy evolves as your life does.

Our Community Commitment

Community is an important part of who we are. For us, it means supporting local people with our time, expertise, and financial resources, and recognising that our success is supported by a thriving community. This commitment is central to our philosophy and reflects the values that guide our approach to financial advice. As part of this, for every new client who joins us we donate a tree to Trees That Count, a New Zealand charity devoted to reforestation of native trees throughout the country – a small but meaningful way to support sustainability and our natural environment.

Independent Financial Adviser

As an independent financial advice firm in Christchurch, we support clients across Canterbury and New Zealand in achieving their financial goals.

Whether you are seeking investment guidance, KiwiSaver advice, retirement planning, or broader financial planning, we provide clear, independent advice tailored to every stage of life. Our focus is on practical, client‑first guidance that keeps your financial strategy aligned with what matters most to you.
