Craig Carolan

Financial Adviser

Craig Carolan is a licensed financial planner, after studying economics Craig went on to complete postgraduate studies in Superannuation, Financial services, applied finance and insurance.

Craig is passionate about supporting individuals and their families in achieving what is important to them and enabling them to make smart informed financial decisions.

During his career, Craig has learnt one of the key requirements to achieve their financial goals, you must build good foundations!!

With good foundations wealth can be built. What are these foundations? Foundation areas include cashflow/budget, superannuation, debt structure, asset protection, estate planning and Life insurance.

In his work Craig, in conjunction with the client, will discuss their personal foundations. Even if the client feels their current foundations are weak it is never too late to turn a situation around. By developing a plan from the client’s current situation and focusing on assisting them in achieving their financial goals.

Craig’s approach involves sitting down one on one, getting a holistic view of a client’s situation and seeing what, if any, strategies you will benefit from. An approach underpinned by integrity, transparency and giving every client access to Craig’s 25-years of experience.
