"I enjoy helping people retire from their full-time salary. Not from Life. I'm a Registered Financial Planner and Director of Pinnacle Advice. I enjoy the financial mumbo-jumbo stuff. I love using all the tools and my knowledge of Super, Centrelink, Investments... all the boring, time consuming stuff that YOU can OUTSOURCE, to help make working optional for you, or to help you maximise the probability of reaching your goals and objectives.
