Milestones
“By focusing on doing the best possible job for every client, they naturally tell their friends and family. That organic growth has been very rewarding”
Alan Borthwick,
DUX Financial Services
“Our goal is not to speed up transactions but to slow down where it matters, taking the time to truly understand each client’s situation and deliver thoughtful, personalised guidance”

For Borthwick, satisfaction means delivering the result the client set out to achieve while keeping the process smooth and low stress during what can be an emotional time, such as buying a home. He says his greatest strength is cutting through complexity to find the best path forward, staying calm no matter how challenging the lending scenario.
While he has celebrated plenty of loan approvals that others said could not be done, the achievements that mean the most are different. What stands out most to him is helping clients pay off their mortgages far faster than they expected. “Seeing the real difference this makes to their financial freedom and peace of mind is incredibly rewarding,” he says.
Looking ahead, the targets are not about volume. Borthwick is aiming for higher client satisfaction and stronger long-term financial outcomes, with an ambition “to be known as the adviser clients can rely on for calm, considered advice in an increasingly digital world.”
It is an approach summed up by the team’s shared commitment: clear, practical mortgage and financial advice that reduces stress and builds lasting financial resilience for New Zealand families.
