Michael Ryding

Director, Financial Adviser

Since establishing a financial planning practice in 2000, he has provided advice to clients in all areas of personal financial planning. Prior to this Michael worked as an accountant.

Michael believes his role as an Adviser is to help his clients navigate the minefields that are investment markets, superannuation and Centrelink legislation. But by far the most important thing he provides is a trusted relationship, someone his clients can turn to and trust when they need advice on some of their most important and life changing financial decisions.

Brad Rummer

Financial Adviser

M Fin Plan, AFP

Brad has worked across a variety of roles in the financial services industry for the past 15 years, and is a member of the Financial Planning Association.

He believes that a solid technical understanding of portfolios, taxation and superannuation, provides the basis for being able to focus on his client’s needs and preferences; to ensure that the right plan is put in place and it is then followed through to a achieve a great outcome.

While financial planning is based on the interaction of portfolios, debt, tax and superannuation rules, ultimately it is a journey to achieve a better life.  Brad sees the trust and stability of financial guidance central to this journey.

Brad takes pride in helping people to explore and achieve their financial goals, and in his spare time is the dad to two children (one furry) and a hundred-year-old house, badly in need of renovation.
