“Life involves risk and there are no guarantees but having a well thought out financial plan stacks the odds in your favour and allows you to have confidence in the future and peace of mind to enjoy the present.” Andrew MacDonald – Senior Financial Planner

Andrew believes there is no single “right” way to build wealth. Andrew sees his role is to help people understand their options and choose their own adventure. Andrew seeks to simplify, map a clear path, and give people confidence about their future — so their finances support the life they really want, whether that’s financial freedom or helping their kids with a house deposit.

After spending most of his 20s living in Scotland, the USA and Melbourne, Andrew returned home to Brisbane and has been working as a financial advisor since 2008. After being exposed to the lives and financial plans of hundreds of clients during that time, which has included financial crises, recessions, booms and a pandemic, Andrew has formed a few core beliefs.

1. Clients have created wealth through property, shares, superannuation, private business and all of the above. Therefore, there’s not one right way.
2. Finances should enable life, not the other way around.
3. Getting started (even in a small way) and being consistent trumps one big life-changing investment decision. Getting started creates momentum, which accelerates over time.

Andrew chose financial planning as his career as he truly believes it can make people’s lives better and he also hates heights, has no practical manual labour skills and neither the Broncos, Wallabies, Australian cricket team or Hollywood agents would return his calls.
