What We Do

Quentin was born and raised in Hastings and is the last of 5 children. After leaving Hastings Boys High School, he went on to study at Massey University.

Quentin’s first taste of the world of finance occurred as he joined the National Bank as part of their Rural Graduate program where he trained to be an Agri-manager. Then he quickly progressed to Commercial and Corporate banking working for the BNZ in Queen Street Auckland. As an analyst, Quentin arranged banking and finance for facilities for some of New Zealand’s better known  companies as well as some international companies operating in New Zealand.

In 2012, Quentin transitioned from banking, and with a business partner, started his first business – a small finance franchise. The business was successful, and in October 2015 he sold his shareholding to focus on the establishment of a Commercial Finance brokerage. This business works with New Zealand businesses owners to arrange their funding so they can grow.

In March 2020, with customers maturing and strong relationships in place, it was only logical that the same skill set used for banking was realigned to supporting customers with an Investment offering. Therefore, in July 2021, Quentin was able to bring Earnslaw Goodlight to the market. Earnslaw Goodlight is an independent Investment Advisory firm with a strong social component that the firm is working towards. The independence is an important feature as it allows the investment advice to be structured solely for the benefit of the client and therefore has the biggest impact in their lives.
Outside of work, while a few years have passed, Quentin takes pride in the fact that he completed 3 Coast to Coast multi-sport events. He still maintains a keen interest in outdoor sports and when time allows will head out for cycling, surfing and an occasional hunting trip.
