What is Navigating Finance?

Financial planning is becoming increasingly complex.

Clients face a growing number of decisions involving tax, investments, pensions, trusts, business interests, regulation and emerging technologies. Advisers must continually develop their knowledge while improving the quality of advice they deliver.

Navigating Finance exists to explore what makes a better financial planner through better thinking, stronger technical knowledge, improved client outcomes and continuous professional development.

Beyond Financial Planning

I believe that great financial planning starts with understanding people rather than products.

I am passionate about the fields of behavioural finance, lifestyle planning and helping clients align their wealth with what is most important to them. These interests have led me to explore the work of leading thinkers in financial psychology, decision-making and life planning, incorporating these ideas into my conversations with clients and professional development.

This website is a place where I share articles, insights and commentary on financial planning, wealth management, retirement, estate planning and the trends shaping our profession.
