The challenges faced by Australian expats in navigating financial markets and finding comprehensive, tailored financial advice can be a daunting task. Having moved to Singapore in 2013, I have experienced the challenges of becoming an Australian expat myself and since then, we have helped many Australian expats navigate the waters and make the most of their personal finances since.
There are many factors to consider as Australian expat, from your superannuation and tax obligations back home, to managing global assets and keeping on top of regulatory changes back home. It can be a complex minefield and a challenge to navigate.
My team and I are here to take the stress out of it for you so that you have the time to focus on what matters most. To find out more about be, book in your complimentary, obligation-free discussion today.
Frequently Asked Questions
Navigating the minefield of personal finance can be a daunting task. There is a great deal to keep abreast of from staying up to date with superannuation, regulatory and taxation changes, as well as RBA policy, capital markets and more. Ensuring your finances are working for you in Australia and abroad is vital.
A great Financial Planner will give you the peace of mind and comfort in knowing that your finances are working for you and are optimised based on your goals and situation. You'll know that you have a proactive team keeping you up to date with changes, and to act as a sounding board when life's unexpected events arise.
Having worked in Australia as a Financial Planner, and in Singapore for a decade, I have personally faced the financial challenges that Australian expats experience. Being privately owned, my licensee in Singapore allows me to tailor my advice to Australian expats without being tied to any bank or product provider.

No, the first meeting is entirely complimentary and there is no obligation for you to proceed.
My approach begins with this obligation-free, complimentary discussion of your needs and circumstances. This allows you the opportunity to understand my service and whether it fits with your needs. Ahead of our discussion, I’ll ask you for further details about your financial circumstances, and your thoughts on what you would like to achieve whilst in Asia and beyond. When we meet, I’ll let you how we can assist you and make a suggestion as to the format and scope of our services. I’ll also explain our fees and provide you with a detailed cost estimate – any fees are agreed with you first.
No, I regularly visit with people at their offices, clubs or quiet cafes / restaurants that allow us to discuss your personal financial situation in more detail. You are also welcome to meet with me at our offices at Robinson Road, or via Zoom.
An accountant can help you with your taxes and balance your books, but a Financial Planner is like having a dedicated professional who can help you navigate the choppy waters of finance and investment. They can provide you with a comprehensive roadmap for achieving your financial goals, and help you make informed decisions about how to invest your money wisely.
Think of it this way: your accountant is like your doctor, there to diagnose and treat specific problems as they arise. But your Financial Planner is like your personal trainer, helping you set achievable goals and providing you with a roadmap to get there.
So if you're serious about achieving financial success, it's time to enlist the help of a Financial Planner.
