A bit about me professionally…

I’ve been a financial adviser for over 20 years. Most often, I work with people planning their retirement – but we all have things in our lives we’re planning for.

If you think your situation might be a bit different or complicated, then I might be the financial adviser for you.

The number one thing I love about my job is having really meaningful conversations with people. Financial planning is rarely about number crunching and more about understanding people, their relationships, what motivates them, what inspires them, and their aspirations for the future. It’s an enormous privilege to have my clients share their stories with me, and I have the opportunity to make a positive contribution in someone’s life.

In my time as financial adviser, I’ve learned the importance of being good listener, asking more questions, and writing things down.

A bit about me personally…

My greatest joy in life is seeing my two children grow up to be wonderfully independent and conscientious people.

I also love chocolate, dogs, and dad jokes.

Dislikes: Vegemite.

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.
As we transition from the working world into retirement, our financial perspectives undergo significant shifts. While we’re working, we have the reassurance of regular pay. This allows us to plan, save for one-off costs, and even extend our retirement timeline if something goes wrong. However, once we retire, the flow of a salary stops and we often face anxiety over the pool of money for retirement not being enough. Understanding the cognitive biases that affect us during these stages can help manage these transitions more effectively.
