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.

In the decade leading up to the COVID pandemic, industry superannuation fund executives became fond of boasting about capitalising on the so-called “illiquidity premium” derived from tying up member’s assets in long-dated, illiquid assets, namely unlisted property and infrastructure.
I recently gave a speech to the Unley Rotary Club on Cybersecurity and awareness of financial scams; the audience had some fantastic follow up questions and many more than I expected. The interesting outcome for me from that presentation was the audience’s sheer diversity of understanding of what scams exist, how they affect people and what someone can do to avoid those risks. Some were genuinely shocked, others apathetic; It won’t happen to me, I’m not affected as I don’t use Facebook, what can I really do to stop it…?
Millions of Australians have (or are about to) receive their first pay packet for the 2024-25 financial year, and it should contain some extra cash. Thanks to the federal government’s “Stage 3” changes to individual tax rates and thresholds, all 13.6 million Australian taxpayers will benefit from income tax cuts that started on 1 July 2024.
