Our Founder
My name is Daniel and I started Engineering Finance as a Chemical and Process Engineering student in my final year at the University of Canterbury. During my time at university, I developed advanced Excel and computing skills and use Excel on a daily basis for even the most basic tasks.
​
While at uni, I got interested in finance, politics, world news and the stock market. Through my personal experiences and conversations with my friends, I noticed that many young people are not well informed when it comes to their finances.
​
Thus, I made Engineering Finance. It is my aim to help people improve their financial literacy and live a better life. The spreadsheets on this website are suitable for those with no Excel skills; I try to make them all as user-friendly and automatic as possible.
​
I hope that through this website I can help people to achieve financial independence and improve their quality of life.

Our Values
The purpose of this site is to help everyone learn how to become more financially stable and independent. We believe that everyone should have the tools they need to live a better life, and that money is one aspect of that.
​
As an engineer, Daniel has a passion for quality and professional information. This is why you will see references listed in almost every article, so you can find the sources if you wish to read more into the story.
​
We also believe that people need to be more open about money. The more people talk about money, the more effective they can become in their handling of it. We think this is especially important when discussing finances with children and teenagers, who need to be well prepared. This is why you will find posts from Daniel showing exactly how much money he has invested and in what companies/funds.
​
We try to make the site as inclusive as possible for everyone. However, if you are a racist, sexist, bigot, etc., you can leave. We do not want, nor need, you here.
