About us

Company overview

Everyone has a goal or dream that is important to them. We usually set goals every week, month or year. It might be to lose weight, save money, or travel. Your goals can’t become reality, unless you have a plan to achieve them.  You’ll also need someone to keep you accountable and stay on track.

We help our clients plan and answer 2 fundamental financial questions:

  • How much money do I need to retire?
  • When can I do it?

Our wealth management service is suited for medium to high-net-worth individuals (and families) investing $800,000 + via superannuation, home equity, family trusts and/or managed portfolios and inclusive of driven individuals aspiring to this level.

Take the guess work out of a home loan approval. We love to meet with anyone wanting a home loan, whether it’s a first home buyer or property tycoon adding a 39th property to their empire. No one person is the same and not all scenarios are either. Why not leverage our experience and expertise and access more than 40 lenders to get the job done right the first time. We negotiate better deals on your behalf through our business partners and match our clients with a lender that best meets their unique requirements and position.

Our vision is to become “ The home of financial expertise for accomplished individuals in Canberra”

Competitive Advantage

Wouldn’t it be nice to see an adviser who is not being controlled or influenced to sell a particular product? At Nest Advisory – you can.

We are self-licensed, which means we don’t have any of our products to sell and we don’t have anyone in the background forcing us to sell other investments either. What we recommend to our clients is because we think it’s best for you, not us or the faceless man.

It’s no secret mortgage brokers get paid a commission to write home loans, and financial advisers get paid to invest client funds in things like shares. You must wonder if that adviser or broker is recommending that investment because it’s best for you and meets your goals or if it’s just what they get paid for – we’ve all seen the Instagram ads.

Being brokers and wealth managers, we have no conflict in recommending property or shares to our clients. We recommend what is best for your goals and objectives.

Special Price offering

It’s simple. Our preferred clients like to do mortgage broking and wealth management (investments) with us. This is why we take 10% all advice fees (upfront and ongoing) when someone hires us as an investment manager and home loan broker.
