Peter is a Melbourne-based financial adviser with over a decade of experience helping professionals, couples and families build genuine, lasting financial security. His approach starts with the fundamentals. Before strategies, products or structures, Peter believes every client needs to understand what their money is actually doing - where it goes, what it costs to run their life, and what's genuinely available to build with. From that foundation, everything else becomes clearer and more deliberate.
Peter works across the full spectrum of personal financial advice: superannuation, investment, insurance, debt management, retirement planning and estate planning. But what clients consistently describe is an adviser who listens carefully, explains things plainly, and makes a genuinely complex subject feel manageable. He doesn't believe in overwhelming people with jargon or options they don't need. He believes in getting the right things in place, in the right order, and making sure clients understand why.
With a Master of Financial Planning and a Master of International Finance, Peter brings both technical depth and practical perspective to every client relationship. He has worked across personal and corporate finance in Melbourne and Perth, advising clients at different life stages: from young professionals building their first real financial plan, to pre-retirees making critical decisions about how to structure the decades ahead.
Peter was recognised as a finalist in the IFA Excellence Awards for both Holistic Adviser of the Year and Regional Adviser of the Year, awards that reflect the breadth and quality of advice he provides across all areas of a client's financial life.
He offers a free initial consultation for new clients: a straightforward conversation about where you are, where you want to be, and whether working together makes sense. No obligation, no sales pitch.
Originally from Bridgetown in the South West of Western Australia, Peter has lived and worked in Melbourne for many years and has travelled to over 23 countries. He knows better than most that what people are really working toward isn't a number, it's a life. His job is to help make that more achievable.
