Meet Our Team
Managing Director & Wealth Creation - Head of Advice
Richard’s energy and dedication are the driving force behind F&A. With a deep discomfort of the traditional financial planning ‘sales’ industry, he works ardently at bringing world-class financial advice, progressive thinking, and sustainable structures to the F&A offering. His focus? Financial planning strategies that are efficient, risk-hedged and profitable.
Implementation Specialist & Office Manager
Candice’s can-do attitude, energy, and commitment to looking after our clients has seen her be promoted to Office Manager. She works closely with all our clients throughout the advice process, making complex work easy to manage. Her key trait of connectedness drives her passion for helping our clients and protecting their needs.
Marketing Manager
Andrea’s passion lies in the world of design. She’s responsible for setting up our website, monthly mailers, and marketing campaigns - and optimising them to generate conversations with you - our clients and prospects.
Our Partner in Investment
Constructing and maintaining investment portfolios requires skill and dedication. As part of our ongoing development, we have made a strategic decision to partner with PortfolioMetrix (PMX) - a specialist investment management firm. Using world class systems, PMX provides exclusive advisory and discretionary portfolio management services to independent financial advisers and private wealth managers, like us. They build and manage customised portfolios for our clients that maximise expected returns while mitigating risk.
Retired Founder of F&A
Pat is a gentleman and a scholar. Following a highly successful 30-year career in the financial services industry, including co-founding F&A as we know it today, Pat officially retired in 2020. Pat can now be found walking or riding his bike with his mates, spending time with family, playing bridge, and helping at the local Rotary.
