Paraplanning Manager
Professional Snapshot
A little insight into how they work, what they specialise in, and how they support clients day to day.
What does your day-to-day life at HPartners look like?
I’m the Paraplanning Manager at HPartners, based in South Brisbane. My day-to-day involves overseeing the paraplanning team, reviewing advice documents, ensuring compliance is met, and supporting advisers with technical strategy and research. I specialise in superannuation strategies, retirement planning, and complex structuring, with a strong understanding of SMSF, Centrelink and tax implications.
What areas of financial planning, accounting, or legal services do you specialise in?
What do you love most about working with clients?
What I love most is seeing the real impact our advice has on our client’s lives—whether it’s helping someone retire comfortably or navigate a tricky financial situation with confidence. I was drawn to this line of work because I’ve always enjoyed problem-solving and working with numbers, but also wanted a career that felt meaningful. I bring a strong sense of integrity, empathy, and precision to my role—values that guide both my professional decisions and how I support my team.
Is there a memorable moment or client success story that stands out to you?
you? One memorable moment was helping a client restructure their finances to qualify for the Age Pension while still maintaining their lifestyle. I’m proud of building a paraplanning team that’s not only technically strong but also collaborative and supportive. Seeing team members grow in confidence and capability makes me smile.
