I've been helping clients invest, grow and protect their wealth for over 15 years, and provide a professional service within a comfortable environment to ensure that a focus on client priorities and personal/financial goals is created.

We focus on the needs and priorities of clients, whilst working within an evolving financial services industry, and coupled with ever changing investment markets, taxation law and retirement legislation, the need for competent and capable advice has never been greater.

Our areas of advice are broad and whether you are a young professional, a couple with a family, approaching retirement or retired, we can provide tailored advice and move you towards a more secure future.

Andrew Gardner

Financial Adviser


I started advising in 2007 just before the start of the Global Financial Crisis. It was a challenging time for clients but also highlighted the crucial role that a financial adviser can play when things appear to be at their worst. We have experienced all sorts of market conditions since then but the importance of ongoing discussions to ensure that clients are meeting their goals, and that their financial strategy is best supporting their lifestyle, has always been at the forefront of what we do.

We are a small, committed team of advisers who place our clients’ needs first and ensure that their strategies put them and their families in a better position. We believe that obtaining financial advice can make a meaningful difference in our clients’ lives  – whether they are thinking about finishing up with work, supporting lifestyle and travel goals in retirement, or taking steps to provide stability for their family if life takes an unexpected turn.

Cathy Kayess

Financial Adviser


With over five years of experience in financial advising, I aim to be a trusted guide for clients who are seeking to secure their family’s future. My approach is to understand each clients’ unique situation and align financial strategies with their personal and financial goals. I want to make advice easier to understand and increase my clients’ knowledge during the advice process. Seeing clients achieve their financial stability and support their lifestyle ambitions is what I enjoy about being an adviser.

My background in client relationship roles has led me to be approachable and responsive to client contact. I love to hear about clients’ travel goals, especially anything involving being near water, as when I’m not in the office, I’ll be in a local swimming pool or on a beach. I look forward to continuing the professional and friendly collaboration that clients experience with our team.
