Meet George Iacovou -Principal Adviser, Great Advice

If you're thinking about retirement, wondering whether your super is really working for you, or trying to figure out the right way to set up an SMSF, you want an adviser who'll sit down, listen properly, and explain things in a way that actually makes sense. That's what George does.

George has been a financial adviser for 15 years. He got his start with AMP Australia at 21, and in that time he's guided hundreds of families across Logan, Brisbane's southside, and beyond through the decisions that shape the rest of their lives: when to retire, how to draw an income, what to do with an inheritance, how to look after the grandkids without putting their own security at risk.

His approach is refreshingly old-fashioned in a few ways. You deal with George directly, not a junior. He picks up the phone. He writes advice in plain English, without the jargon and disclaimers designed to protect everyone except the client. And he plays the long game: most of the families George works with have been with him for years, and many have introduced their children and parents along the way.

What clients come to George for Retirement planning that's built around your actual life, not a product brochure. Superannuation strategy, including salary sacrifice, contribution caps, and transition-to-retirement. Self-managed super funds, where George is genuinely experienced and happy to take on trustees who want an adviser who reads the deed. Aged care planning and estate structuring. And Centrelink strategy, which quietly makes a bigger difference to retirement income than most people realise.

Why Great Advice

Great Advice is a boutique practice in Springwood, which means you get the attention of a senior adviser without the overheads of a big institution. George runs the practice personally. The firm currently holds a 5.0 Google rating, the highest in the Logan financial advice corridor, built entirely on client reviews rather than marketing. Beyond the practice, George sits on industry boards helping shape the future of financial advice in Australia, and runs other small businesses of his own. He understands the pressures of working for yourself, building something to pass on, and trying to do right by your family at the same time.

The first meeting is on us

The initial conversation is complimentary and obligation-free. You'll come away with a clear sense of where you stand and whether advice is worth pursuing, even if you decide not to proceed. Most people find it the most productive hour they've spent on their finances in years.
