Welcome to my blog. I am the General Manager at Wahlstrom Financial Services, one of Australia's leading financial services firms. I strongly believe in the life-changing value of professional advice in achieving one's financial and lifestyle goals. I am passionate about the difference quality advice and exceptional leadership can make to personal and business performance, and enjoy working with professional financial services businesses to deliver consistent, quality outcomes for themselves and their clients. Having worked in financial services for over 10 years, in planning, practice management and business consulting roles, I am currently responsible for leading a team of advice professionals and supporting operational staff in delivering quality advice outcomes for our clients, while maintaining a focus on business efficiency, profitability and sustainability. I believe great businesses consistently act on a simple question.. How can we do things better tomorrow than they were done yesterday? I am a member of the Association of Financial Advisers (AFA), Financial Planning Association of Australia (FPA) and Self Managed Super Fund Association (SMSF Association).
