Meet the team

Squirrel is run by an experienced team led by David Cunningham. We've been in the New Zealand marketplace 15 years, so we’re no spring chickens. 

We love what we do and it’s a relaxed vibe in the Squirrel offices. No suits and boots here — but don't be fooled. Our advisers are experts in their field. They also happen to be members of Financial Advice NZ.

If you're not sure who you're after or you'd like to make a complaint, you can get in touch using our Contact page or call 0800 21 22 30.

Let's get acquainted!
