About Me

I’m Gretel, a qualified and experienced Financial Adviser in Coffs Harbour. I am passionate about understanding my clients – their values, their purpose and their financial dreams. In a calm and comfortable environment, I draw on my extensive experience to provide strategic and personalised financial advice that is honest and reliable. My goal is to help you make smart financial decisions so that you can enjoy more of what life has to offer.

Away from work, I have a big, beautiful family with my husband Nathan and our four children. I love getting to the gym every morning, doing pilates and hanging out at the beach on the weekends or finding a new swimming hole in the rain forest. Life is busy keeping up with a busy family and a business but I could not imagine it any other way.

The Process

My valued clients

I was in a place where I really didn’t know where my financial future was heading. I was turning 60 and hadn’t worked for a year or so and I just couldn’t see how I could afford to not work and start accessing my super. Thanks to Gretal’s professionalism and advise I was able to access some of my super and live comfortably. I highly recommend Gretal I felt relief, I knew where my financial future was as heading and I’m so comfortable having Gretal as my Financial Advisor.

Tony and I have recently started our financial journey with Gretel. Gretel put us both at ease from the very first meeting. Tony and I always assumed that we didn’t have enough financially to warrant an advisor but the opposite is true. Gretel has given us reassurance and set us on the right path to ensure that will we be ok financially in our retirement years when they get here.It is great having someone you can turn to when you need to make any decisions that affect your finances and be able to understand the implications a decision will make.We both highly recommend Gretel if you are contemplating taking the step to seeking financial advise, she is amazing!

My husband & I were directed to Gretel by our accountant & following up on that recommendation was the best thing we’ve ever done for our super fund. Gretel is the perfect balance of professionalism & personable. For the first time, we are confident about our future & how our funds are being invested, including in housing. We have recommended Gretel to all of our friends & confidently do so to anyone else wanting to consolidate & reinvest their Super. Gretel is very Good at her job but on top of that she’s just a really lovely, down to earth person who is fantastic to deal with. 5🌟
