Every person dreams of owning a home but often does not know how and where to get the best advice to ensure financial comfort and security.
Some people sign up mortgage loans spanning 25 or more years and get into a debt trap, while there are professionals who can provide them with repayment plans that would free them from of their debt sooner.
Auckland based Professional Financial Solutions Limited has been on the forefront of providing solutions that are suited to individual needs, budget and income. It is therefore no surprise that an increasing number of people find solace and comfort in dealing with Directors Ravi Mehta and Rohit Takyar and their team of six full time qualified staff.
A qualified and certified Chartered Accountant in India, Mr Mehta arrived in New Zealand in January 2002 after several years of experience as a Partner in a well-known Chartered Accountant firm based in his native Ludhiana.
He established Professional Financial Solutions Limited in April 2003 with another Partner. Following the latter’s relocation to Australia within a few months, he invited Mr Takyar (also from Ludhiana), who was then the firm’s Immigration Consultant.
True to its name, the Company provides quality services and solutions covering accounting, taxation, mortgage broking, business loans, financial planning and insurance broking from its office located in Sandringham (40A, Fowlds Avenue).
“Lending institutions including commercial banks are working in the best interests of their stakeholders and depositors but much could be done if borrowers structure their mortgages properly. They could also optimise their tax gains,” Mr Mehta said.
Diversification has helped the firm to maintain its rate of growth despite the adverse effects of recession.
“The downturn in the number of houses sold and purchased has indeed reduced the volume of business in this area but we continue to perform well in other areas,” Mr Takyar said.
According to experts, at least a third of homebuyers in the Subcontinent community were not aware of the options available and that they could get the best out of the market.
“It is important to know that a proper analysis of the individual financial situation could help in formulating a cost-effective package. The circumstances of people may not be as hopeless as think. Every problem (well, almost) has a solution,” Mr Mehta said.
