WHAT WE DO
Health
We all want to be healthy. Most of us enjoy regular exercise and having a healthy diet. There are times, however, when our health can be compromised. We help you manage those times so that they don’t detrimentally affect your finances. This speeds up your recovery, both physically and financially
Family
We all have different definitions of family. We define it as the most important people in your life. They are the ones that often drive your purpose and your goals. By getting to know what you want for yourself and your family, we gain a deeper understanding of you.
Lifestyle
Lifestyle is how you live day to day. The area you live in, the type of property, the things you do on a day to day basis are all part of your lifestyle. This may change during your life. Whatever you choose, we are here to help you achieve the lifestyle of your dreams.
Fun
Fun is all the extra stuff that really improves your life. Holidays, education choices for yourself and your family, the sports you play, and the activities that you enjoy all go to make life fun. Many of our clients enjoy overseas travel, golf, sailing, good food and wine, both at home and at restaurants of their choice.
Financial Planning
These four areas of life are what drives our advice to you. We look at your goals and objectives in each of these areas and help you to find the most effective way to get to your destination.
This may not sound like traditional financial planning but underneath all the layers of complexity in the superannuation and insurance world, this is what financial planning is truly about.
OUR TEAM
Janne
Founder and Senior Financial Planner
I have spent my life implementing a financial planning strategy for myself. This has allowed me the financial freedom to enjoy time with my family, regular travel and relaxation activities such as swimming, walking in the bush and along the beach.
My home is on the beautiful Northern Beaches of Sydney, I also enjoy frequent trips to Byron Bay, the Hunter Valley and France as well as other overseas destinations.
I have two sons, Byron and Lee. Byron and wife Bec have two beautiful daughters, Lily and Anastasia. Lee and wife Katie have a gorgeous daughter, Zara and their new beautiful baby boy Reggie. I am lucky as they all live locally and I can enjoy their company on a regular basis.
With a career stretching back to 1987, there is not a lot I haven't seen or done that relates to financial planning. Strategies, philosophies, products and fund managers all go into and out of fashion, this is for the simple reason that times change. With change comes the opportunity for some and extinction for others. For this reason, I am always looking for new opportunities and strategies that work with the current times, so expect change and some fresh ideas if you choose me as your financial planner.
I believe that education is extremely important when handling the life savings of others and have kept myself actively educated throughout my career. Starting with a degree in Economics: Bachelor of Arts (Econ), I have also completed four diplomas: Diploma in Education, Diploma in Financial Advice, Diploma of Management and Diploma of Financial Services, Mortgage Broking.
