Quentin McCormick

Managing Director and Chartered Wealth Manager

I have more than 30 years’ experience in the financial planning sector and I’ve been advising clients since 1996. Many of my original clients are still with me all these years later, I even deal with the children and grandchildren of many clients.

I specialise in both intergenerational wealth planning and advising business owners.

These specialisations help me to make a real difference to people’s lives, not just their finances.

As the Managing Director, I spend my day looking after my valued clients as well as the ongoing management of the business. I’m an early starter and will often be in the office around 7:00 am.

The important stuff

Helping clients realise they have now gained financial freedom and then planning on how to cascade wealth through the generations.

Something active or outdoors; either sailing on a yacht, playing tennis or a round of golf. And of course, time with my wife and children.
What’s the most important thing you’ve learned doing your job?

To treat people equally and with respect. Take nothing for granted and never stop learning.
