Michael came to New Zealand from China over two decades ago. He built his career not in an accounting firm, but in the real world — as a finance professional inside organisations that demanded results: a government department, a law firm, multinational corporations, and businesses navigating the complexity of cross-border trade.

He has sat across the table from lawyers, executives, and government officials — in law firms, government departments, multinational corporations, and Pacific Island business operations. He has prepared board papers, managed multi-million dollar budgets, and advised on transactions that required both technical precision and commercial judgment. He understands that finance is not just about numbers — it is about decisions.

That breadth of experience is what makes FinLink different. When Michael advises a property investor on bright-line risk, or helps a new migrant navigate FIF rules, or works with a business owner on their exit — he brings 20 years of real-world exposure to that conversation. Not just a textbook answer.

He also understands the experience of building a life in New Zealand as a Chinese migrant. The language gaps. The cultural nuance. The questions that are hard to ask when you're not sure if you're asking the right person. FinLink was built for that client.
