Sean has worked in financial services for over 22 years. The bulk of that time has been with the RI Advice Group (formerly RetireInvest) looking after clients on Sydney’s northern beaches and beyond..

Originally with a background in Engineering Surveying, Sean decided on a career change and, in the year 2000, took on a role at one of the original RetireInvest offices, in Mosman, Sydney.

In early 2006, Sean set up a new RI Advice practice of his own based in Brookvale. In 2021, the practice moved to new premises and is now based in nearby Dee Why.

Over these past 16 years or more, Sean and the team of dedicated support staff at RI Brookvale have built an enviable reputation for providing quality advice and service to long-standing clients.

Sean gains particular satisfaction from seeing clients living out the lifestyle to which they have aspired as a result of the strategic financial advice he has provided.

Sean has a Diploma of Financial Planning and also holds the internationally recognised Certified Financial Planner™ or CFP® qualification from the Financial Planning Association of Australia (FPA). With these qualifications and experience, Sean is well qualified to help clients achieve their financial goals.
