I have over 10 years’ experience as a Financial Planner, having moved to Cairns from outback Queensland (Mount Isa), and joined the Astute family in February 2018. I grew up in Gladstone and started an admin traineeship with a Suncorp General Insurance Agent straight after leaving school.
My partner and I moved to Mount Isa where we called home for the next 13 years. I worked for a Financial Planning Firm where I completed my Advanced Diploma of Financial Planning. Here I found my passion for helping clients achieve their financial goals, protect their most important assets (their family), but also build strong trusting relationships to enable me to be there for my clients through the tough times when claims need to be made to ensure this time is as stress-free as possible.
As many have done before me, a short holiday to Cairns lead to a love affair with the region. The majestic rainforest surroundings and reef stole my heart and it wasn’t long before I trekked across the state to start the new chapter of my life with my family.
I have over 10 years’ experience as a Financial Planner and am with you every step of the way throughout your lifetime. I take the time to listen to your needs and objectives and find solutions that you not only understand but are comfortable with. I invite you to give our office a ring to see how I can assist you in the planning and protection of your financial future.
You have a brilliant team there. I have been a customer for many years from the first time deal with John and his team. It’s great to walk in and be treated as a friend, as well as a customer –
My journey towards my first home loan was smooth and seamless thanks to the help from the team at Astute Finance. I was assisted by Peter and Crystal who were wonderful to deal with. All my questions and concerns were taken care of and I would absolutely recommend giving them a call. Thankyou team Astute 🙂
I could not recommend Astute and their amazing team more! They have made our journey of home buying simple and easy, taking all the stress of necessary steps off us. Will be doing any of our financial needs with them from now on! –
The Team at Astute are absolutely amazing. I recently had a review with Tracey and the wealth team for personal insurances. Tracey was fantastic! She explained everything in an easy to understand way and made sure we fully understood what we were discussing while giving us plenty of time to ask questions. Tracey listened to our concerns and provided helpful advice.
You need to make an appointment to chat with Tracey and the team ASAP!
We recently returned to Astute as repeat customers, and once again Crystal and Peter delivered an exceptional experience. Their professionalism, clear communication, and genuine care made the entire process smooth and stress‑free from start to finish.
Crystal is always incredibly organised and proactive, keeping us updated at every step, while Peter’s knowledge and guidance gave us complete confidence in our decisions. It’s rare to find a team that consistently goes above and beyond, but that’s exactly what they do.
Thank you both for another outstanding experience – this is why we keep coming back. Highly recommend Crystal, Peter, and the team at Astute!
Thank you to Crystal, Damien and John for helping me with my home loan recently. Your hard work is greatly appreciated and made a stressful time much easier.
Can’t recommend these guys enough!! –
Jimmydee has been a great help in assisting me with my home loan. I was recommended to Jimmydee by a friend as I was unsure on where to begin for my first home. He made it easy, giving step by step assistance. He is incredibly patient and explains things in simple terms to make everything easy to understand. He was able to go through all the options with me and made making a decision simplistic. He is quick to reply and fast acting. I would recommend JD to anyone in the market for a broker as my experience has been fantastic.
