Kim Potgieter

Kim is an author, speaker, voracious learner and expert Financial Planner. She views retirement planning as a holistic process and believes you can only plan for your money if you plan for your life first and advocates that life planning is an integral part of financial planning. This allows her clients to live their best possible lives by aligning their money with purpose and meaning and her vision is to change the way people view retirement in South Africa..

As Director and Head of Life Planning at a financial planning organisation, she combines her two passions: helping people with their relationship with money and guiding clients to get the most life from their money in their second chapter.
As an author, Kim has written five eBooks and two books, RETIREMEANT – Get More Meaning for Your Money (2015) and Midlife Money Makeover (2021). Her message is clear: by understanding your relationship with money, you can shift your mindset to create positive and powerful transitions.

Kim has literally travelled the world, meeting with visionaries and mentors to bring to her clients new ideas and insight on how to design a life they’re excited to live and ensuring that money is where it needs to be – as a friend, not a foe. Her passion is to empower people to give intention to their money and live with purpose, on purpose. A creative thinker, Kim is exceptionally well-read on international trends within holistic retirement and life planning. This enables her to bring a fresh global perspective to conventional financial planning methodology.

When it comes to money. Be inspired. Be brave. Be on purpose.
