Since the start of my career, I've never been the one to take the traditional path! After a successful decade long career in management consulting, I reskilled/retrained myself to embark on a new career as a financial planner.My decision to retrain was driven by the positive impact of goals-based financial planning which has given me the financial freedom to pursue a career and lifestyle aligned to my values. I have also had the privilege to coach and guide friends/family to do the same over the years. As someone famous once said, “if you love what you do, then you'll never work a day in your life." In my work with individuals, couples and families, I aim to achieve alignment of financial goals/outcomes with their values and life goals/aspirations. I endeavour to achieve this by embedding these three core principles in my work: • "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail" • "Compound interest is the eighth wonder of this world. One who understands it, earns it....one who doesn't it, pays it."•" Money does not buy you happiness, but it does buy you choices. It's what you do with those choices that make you happy."I have advanced professional and technical qualifications which allow me to guide clients, even in complex situations, in an easy to understand manner:• Chartered Accountant (ANZ/UK) • Grad. Dip Financial Planning• Accredited Aged Care Professional• MBA (UNSW)I have a particular interest and focus in supporting individuals, couples and families who have one or more of these aspirations/challenges currently :• Financial independence to have the option retire early (FIRE)• Planning for a comfortable retirement • Considering moving a loved one into aged care/nursing home/residential careComing from a culturally and linguistic diverse (CALD) background, I deeply care about supporting fellow professionals and entrepreneurs of CALD backgrounds to achieve their life goals and ambitions through the power of goals-based financial planning.
