Natalie Dakin

I commenced my career in Financial Services in my hometown of Cooma in 2002, progressing through a variety of roles before qualifying as a financial planner in 2018. In 2023, I joined Bridges Financial Planning, where I enjoy being part of a close-knit team based in Barton, Canberra.

My career has always been driven by a genuine desire to help people feel more confident about their financial decisions. Whether it’s simplifying complex concepts into clear, practical language or supporting clients in getting back on track, I take pride in making financial planning clear and relatable.

I specialise in retirement planning, helping clients navigate this important life transition with confidence. By turning complex financial matters into straightforward strategies, I support clients to stay in control of their financial position and move forward with clarity.

Outside of work, I enjoy the simple things - spending time with family, visiting the archery range, and exploring the local area by motorbike. As retirement looks different for everyone, I’m looking forward to one day travelling around Australia on a Gold Wing; although this may well change before I retire in 20 years’ time, as our goals often evolve over time.

I welcome the opportunity to connect with people who are thinking about retirement, as well as those who have already started but would like greater clarity and confidence in their financial future.
