Paul started his first role as a Business Financial Adviser at Westpac Bank in 2006. Since then, he has worked as a Financial Adviser at two other practices, the latter where he worked for 13 years and was a Director for ten years. What Paul loves most about his role is working closely with clients over the years to identify opportunities that change the trajectory of a client’s financial position and their lives. On weekends, you will find Paul coaching his son’s basketball team, spending time with friends and family, and cheering on the Fremantle Dockers as a long-term club member!
Our Story
At GLOW, we manage clients from all ages and walks of life. We look after individuals, mums & dads, and business owners. Everyone has different goals, values, and priorities; our strategies are tailored to each client and differ depending on their life journey.
Our Purpose
At GLOW, our purpose is to illuminate your best path forward and to strike a balance between living your best life both now, and in retirement. Even though our client’s positions and circumstances differ, they all share a common goal. They all want to know that “they will be ok” and that they will “have enough money” to support themselves in retirement.
It is not all about the destination though! The journey is equally important. We like to think of ourselves as an extension of your family and are there to help navigate through life’s financial maze. We are there to provide options, from which we help our clients select. We also will guide and hold hands through difficult times (in life and markets!) and celebrate milestones along the way!
Our Mission
Our mission for our clients is to achieve “Financial Independence” for every one of them.
When someone reaches this point, they go to work because they want to, not because they have to. Or, of course, they no longer go to work at all!
Our Values
Clear
You will receive clarity about where you are, where you are headed, and what you need to do to get there.
Direct
Glow will be upfront and honest with you about what is required to achieve your goals, We will also show you the most direct route to get there.
Optimistic
We are constantly glass half full! We always take the positives out of every situation. Our clients feel upbeat and optimistic about their financial futures and this helps them live more fulfilled lives.
