Professional experience

I have been a Financial Adviser since 2008, having previously worked with two major banks.

Growing up with parents who had a keen interest in the investment markets – with my mother working in stock broking for 15 years – financial planning has always been an area of interest for me. When the oppourtunity arose for me to undertake study and become a Financial Adviser, I jumped at the chance!

I enjoy sitting with my clients and uncovering what is important in their life both now and into the future, working with them to develop a plan to achieve their financial and lifestyle goals. I endeavour to build lifelong relationships with my clients, continuing to work with them to ensure they stay on track as their circumstances change over time.

I have worked with clients from all walks of life, from those just starting out on their financial journey with the purchase of their first home, all the way through to investing and into pre and post retirement planning.

I look forward to meeting you!

Hi, I’m Scott.

You’re probably wondering why you should work with us. Put simply, we’re here to make your life easier. You see, we know financial planning is complicated. Super, investments, debt management, insurance, estate planning… it’s enough to give most people a headache. Often, we find people avoid thinking about it, band-aid their problems, and rarely have a long-term plan.

That’s why Focused Advisers exists, to help our clients take their financial plan out of the ‘too hard’ pile and move it to the ‘sorted’ pile.

But why am I here?

Well, like many people today, I have been through a few career changes. Always in public-facing roles, I worked in hospitality, real estate, and telecommunications. Six years ago, I knew I wanted a new challenge.

Back then, I didn’t understand the money stuff either, so I decided to learn. I returned to university and completed a Master of Financial Planning, picking up a couple of citations for academic excellence along the way. It turns out I did well because I had stumbled on something I love. I now have over four years experience in financial advice, and I’m here to stay.

Super, investments, debt management, insurance, estate planning… it’s all still complicated, but now I understand it. In fact, I love it, and I wake up every day excited about helping other people understand it. The whole team at Focused Advisers share a passion for helping you uncomplicate the money stuff so you can get on with living the life you want, focused on the things that matter.
