Principal Financial Adviser · Springwood QLD

George Iacovou.

I grew up in Springwood, went to John Paul College, and opened Great Advice in the same suburb I have called home all my life.

George Iacovou, Principal Financial Adviser at Great Advice Financial Advisers, Springwood QLD

My story.

My parents moved to Springwood when I was little. I went to John Paul College, played rugby league for the Springwood Tigers from the age of five, and still live locally with my family.

I started in large financial planning firms, then in 2011 became AMP's youngest licensed adviser. The experience was useful, but the work I cared about most was helping regular families understand super, tax, retirement and the big decisions they had not been taught at home.

The ones who reminded me of my parents were not even getting through the door.

That is why I started Great Advice.

Who I work with.

Mostly pre-retirees and retirees in their 50s and 60s from Brisbane south-side, Logan, and the Gold Coast. People within ten years of stopping work who want to know if they have enough, whether their super is doing its job, and how the Age Pension fits in.

How I work.

The first meeting is free and usually runs about an hour. If we both want to keep going, I scope the work and quote a fixed fee in writing before anything starts.

Plans are written in plain English. Reviews are practical. We keep the focus on decisions you can actually use.

Credentials.

Graduate Diploma of Financial Planning (AQF Level 8). Corporate Authorised Representative, AR 434524, of Akumin Financial Planning Pty Ltd, AFSL 232706.
