Sunshine Coast, and the people in it
Our Sunshine Coast advisers work with people across the Sunshine Coast and the hinterland, including Maroochydore, Mooloolaba, Caloundra, Buderim, Noosa, Coolum, Nambour, Kawana and Maleny.
The Sunshine Coast has grown faster than almost anywhere in the country, driven by people choosing to live here rather than jobs bringing them here. That produces a distinctive population: early retirees, business owners who relocated and kept operating, and a large health sector built around the university hospital precinct.
Moving here often means retiring earlier than planned, or working differently rather than not at all. Both need the numbers checked. A retirement that starts at fifty-eight instead of sixty-seven has to last nine years longer, and the difference between those two plans is not small.
Your Sunshine Coast advisers
Small team, long tenure. You will deal with the same person each time, and they live here.
What we help with
Almost nobody arrives needing all five. Most people start with one and find the others matter more than they expected.
Five stages,
not five hundred pages.
The first conversation costs nothing and commits you to nothing. From there it’s a documented process, and you see the reasoning at every step rather than a recommendation landing on your desk.

At the heart of advice is the desire to make people’s lives better. Compassion, support, empowerment. It is rarely ever just about money.

Questions people ask us in Sunshine Coast
Do I have to go to Brisbane for good financial advice?
No. Our Sunshine Coast advisers are part of a national group, so you get the research, technical support and investment resources of a firm with 32 offices, delivered by someone who lives locally and will still be here in ten years. There is no advantage to a Brisbane postcode.
Which areas do you cover from the Sunshine Coast office?
Sunshine Coast and the surrounding area, including Maroochydore, Mooloolaba, Caloundra, Buderim, Noosa, Coolum, Nambour, Kawana and Maleny. If you are further out, we can meet by video or arrange to come to you.
Can I meet by phone or video instead of coming in?
Yes, and plenty of our Sunshine Coast clients do. The advice is the same either way. Most people mix the two: an initial meeting in person, then reviews by video.
What does financial advice cost?
Fees depend on how complex your situation is and what you need. We quote in writing before you engage, so you decide with the number in front of you rather than after the fact. The first conversation is free and carries no obligation.
Do I have enough money to need an adviser?
Advice tends to matter most at moments of change rather than at a particular balance. Retiring, selling a business or a property, an inheritance, a redundancy, a separation. If you are facing a decision you cannot easily undo, that is usually the point, whatever the number.
Can you help with Age Pension and Centrelink?
Yes. Working out entitlements, how assets and income are assessed, and how a decision about super or an investment affects what you receive is a routine part of retirement advice.
Are your Sunshine Coast advisers qualified?
Yes. All of our advisers meet the education, training and ethical standards required to give personal financial advice in Australia and appear on ASIC's Financial Advisers Register. Individual qualifications are listed on each adviser's profile.
What is a best interests duty?
It is a legal obligation to act in your best interests when giving personal advice, and to put your interests ahead of ours wherever the two could conflict. It is the reason a recommendation has to be documented with the reasoning behind it rather than simply asserted.
Do you also do home loans?
Yes, through our Sunshine Coast lending team. Advice and lending sit in the same group, so if you are weighing up a mortgage alongside a retirement or investment decision, both conversations can happen together.
Sunshine Coast advice, from people who live here.
Thirty minutes. In our office, at your kitchen table, or by video. No fee, no obligation. You will leave knowing more than when you started, even if you never come back.
