Financial Planner AFP® | M.FF | Authorised Representative No. 401525

A bit about me professionally…

I’ve worked in the financial services industry since 2000, including several years spent working in the UK, before returning to Australia and joining Goldsborough in March 2014.

I’m happy to offer ongoing professional advice incorporating a wide range of financial planning strategies.

I’m passionate about providing you with comprehensive strategic advice – whether you’re just starting out on your wealth building journey, or are nearing retirement.

As Goldsborough’s dedicated Risk Adviser, I aim to ensure you have the appropriate types and levels of insurance cover in place, to suit your own personal situation.

To help new clients really engage with recommendations, I like to use a whiteboard to draw a flowchart of how the strategy will work for you. Feedback I have had from many clients is that this has been valuable in helping them understand the more complicated details

A bit about me personally…

I have two young children who keep me busy outside of the office. When I do have some free time, I like to ride my road bike – for both fitness and fun.

Craig has given us expert advice and has provided a clear strategy for our retirement, which we are very comfortable with.

"Craig’s expert knowledge and calm, rational approach inspires confidence. He is a clear communicator, consistently responding to all of our queries in a timely manner, whether by phone or email. He readily admits if he is unsure of something, but ALWAYS comes back with correct and relevant information. He consistently remembers fine details from previous meetings and, although he deals with many clients, he always makes us feel that we are significant and important.

Those rules can open the door to significant tax savings and a much faster path to financial independence, if you know how to use them. For those over age 60, the planning opportunity becomes even more powerful when combined with a Transition to Retirement (TTR) strategy.
