An entrepreneur at heart, James puts a different spin on the traditional world of Financial Planning. He believes in discovering your true values and living by them.

Star team trainer, insurance whiz, and systems genius Karinda joined the SF team in 2019. Starting out to help mid Covid-19, we quickly learned we couldn't live without her.

Gervy Lagrosas
Client Services Administrator
Our biggest smile belongs to Gervy who is the voice of many of our client emails, and is the brains behind a lot of our admin and insurance work. She sends us daily reminders of how many days are left until the weekend where she has the freedom to sleep and watch Netflix to her heart's content.

Anna Dairo

Jess Holmstrom
Paraplanner
Jess is our in-house paraplanning legend and is our first Tassie resident! Jess and her husband Adam enjoy taking their little son Ollie to the beach and travelling at every opportunity.

Jamie Ogden
Loan Processor
Jamie joins our home loans team with a solid history in financial services & mortgage broking. When he's not at the desk, he's either working on a music festival, stomping around barefoot at the farm, swimming under waterfalls or hiking up a mountain with his young family in tropical North Queensland.
