THE COLLAB APPROACH
Financial decisions are easier when you’re not making them alone. –
Wealth Collab was created to make financial decisions less complicated.
​It’s built around working collaboratively – with you first, to understand what matters most, and then with other professionals where it adds value.
​
That might include accountants, mortgage brokers, or solicitors, depending on your situation.
​The focus is on practical advice, clear priorities, and a plan that actually fits your life.
No overcomplication.
No product-driven agendas.
Just thoughtful financial planning, done properly.

How did you get into finance?
​
My career in finance began in business banking while I was at university, before moving into stockbroking and working on trading desks at HSBC and E*Trade.
​
I transitioned into financial planning just prior to the Global Financial Crisis, an experience that shaped my approach early on and reinforced the importance of managing risk, staying disciplined, and guiding clients through periods of uncertainty while keeping long-term goals front of mind.
​​
After spending close to a decade as an adviser within a Big 4 bank, I went on to establish Wealth Collab, with the aim of delivering advice in a way that felt more considered, practical, and aligned with how people actually live and make decisions.
I haven’t looked back since.
​
What made you want to be a Financial Adviser?
​
I was first drawn to finance in my early teens, when my father began teaching me about the stock market and share trading.
​
Not long after, my father was forced into early retirement due to ill health. Seeing firsthand how an unexpected event can change the course of your plans reinforced the importance of having a clear strategy in place, not just for growth, but for managing life’s curveballs as well.
​
That experience shaped how I view financial advice. It’s not just about numbers or investments, it’s about helping people prepare, adapt, and stay on track when things don’t go exactly to plan.
​
Seeing the impact good advice can have, both in the short term and over the long run, is what makes the work so rewarding. Just as importantly, I value the relationships built along the way and the opportunity to work with people through different stages of their lives.
​
Why did you start Wealth Collab?
​
I started Wealth Collab because I wanted to deliver advice in a more practical and considered way.
​
Too often, financial plans look good on paper but fall short when it comes to real-world implementation. I saw the value in not only creating a clear strategy, but also helping clients bring that strategy to life.
​
That means working collaboratively with clients, and where appropriate, alongside other professionals such as accountants, mortgage brokers, and solicitors, to make sure advice is aligned and actually followed through.
​
Wealth Collab was created to simplify financial decisions and provide advice that’s practical, coordinated, and focused on long-term outcomes.
​
A bit more about you?
​
I consider myself very lucky. I’m happily married and a proud father of three.
​
Family is incredibly important to me. My wife and I love travelling and have been fortunate to see a lot of the world already, with plenty more adventures planned as a family in the years ahead.
​
Health and fitness play a big role in my life, although I also love good food. You’ll often find me and the family enjoying breakfast at one of our local favourites.
