I founded Wealth Simplicity (previously known as MORE Wealth Management), to help professionals, business owners make the most of their financial opportunities at every stage of life, including a smooth transition into retirement and living life on their own terms. I love what I do for the strong relationships that are developed with people over many years and owning my business means that I have the control to ensure the best outcomes for my clients, without any conflicts of interest.Investing is at the heart of what I do. It's not possible to have a one size fits all approach for everyone, and it requires looking at all types of assets including shares and property. With my diverse background and experience, I can appreciate that most time the simple, tried and tested approach is often the best. However, not everything is simple, particularly when it comes to tax. This is where planning early on can make all the difference to long-term investment returns.If you are looking for the best possible ways to create and protect your wealth or looking ahead to transfer it efficiently to future generations, feel free to get in touch, no obligations. I specialise in taxation and investments, as well as having an SMSF service that covers all your accounting, investment and strategic advice needs.Importantly, Wealth Simplicity is not aligned with any financial institutions or product providers. This means I can provide you with the best weapon for taking control – choice!To find out more, visit my website at www.wealthsimplicity.com or contact me on 0415 927 868.Rob Gilmour

Returning to Australia presented another opportunity to pivot in my career. After completing my masters in applied finance I moved away from working within large institutions, to helping individuals and families as an investment adviser. Working at Dixon Advisory was a great opportunity to be part of a dynamic business and to become familiar with the tax and regulatory system in Australian again.As part of my role, I was a regular presenter at seminars and gradually built a book of clients with assets under management of over $170m. It was also a privilege to also work alongside Daryl Dixon who has been at the forefront of the industry for over three decades.The decision to leave Dixon Advisory was ultimately driven by the desire to work independently from product providers and to build long term relationships with my own clients.

Aviva Europe was a life insurance business that spanned 14 countries and was going to through a major transformation under a new CEO. As a programme manager, this role focused on defining and implementing a new legal structure for the pan-European business that involved navigating the regulatory, legal and tax implications of converting to a branch base model across a number of country operations. It also involved the transfer of over 100 legal entities to be consolidated a new head office based in Ireland.

It was a tough time to arrive in London, there was a recession and I commenced looking for employment the day before 9/11. This period was a real test of my resilience but proved to be a very fortunate pivot in my career toward the fund management industry, with Aviva Investors (previously Morley Funds Management) being one of the largest institutional asset managers in the United Kingdom. I focused on my delivery and strategic change skills with a step towards project and programme management. Through various contracts, I delivered change projects across the finance, operations and investments parts of the business.Key highlights included developing the systems and process capability for the business to report against new international accounting standards (IFRS). This also delivered a reducing in reporting times by over 50% and facilitated the outsourcing of operations to J Morgan. After the acquisition of AIB Investment Management, managing the transition of over EUR 2bn worth of assets to the UK and new alignment into a new investment strategy. I worked with a lot of amazing people and teams over the years at Aviva, but the true lasting legacy is this is where I met my beautiful wife and mother of our now three children!

Reporting to the Global Leader of PwC's Tax and Legal practice, I worked on various strategic projects for the newly merged organisation. Initially, the focus was on research across various countries in Asia for PwC to move into legal services. In order to improve collaboration between partners, I developed a CRM database to capture strategic insights on multi-national clients gleaned from various PwC engagements and interactions with senior executives from around the world. I was also responsible for supporting the rollout of the PwC's global e-business strategy in the Australian practice.It was a privilege to have senior level exposure to the management of a global organisation so early on in my career. However, at this juncture in my life, I decided to take a year off to travel and move to London!

This was my first professional job as a graduate in the specialist indirect taxes division of Price Waterhouse. The role suited my technical legal background, which also opened the door for having early exposure to senior management and solving complex issues that had a material impact on profitability. It was also a time of rapid change and uncertainty as the GST was being introduced in Australia.
