Laurence Smith CFP®
About Me
I’ve been helping people make smarter financial decisions for over 16 years. Along the way, I’ve worked in big banks, boutique firms, super funds, and accounting practices - which means I’ve seen just about every angle of financial advice.
These days, my focus is simple: I take the complexity out of financial planning so you don’t have to worry about it. Whether it’s investing, gearing, or structuring your super, I’ll handle the technical side and give you a clear plan you can actually follow.
Financial planning has always been part of my life: my father spent over 35 years in the profession, so I understand the importance of trust, long-term thinking, and doing the right thing by clients.
Outside of work, I’m a Redlands local with two kids. We are all involved in the community, and I train in karate with my family. I’m a big believer in Kaizen, which is a belief that significant results come from small, consistent improvements over time. I aim to apply this philosophy in both life and in financial advice.
