Hi there, I’m Craig – CEO, Director and Senior Wealth Adviser at Navwealth.

With over 30 years of experience in financial services and backed by a Masters degree in financial planning, I lead the friendly and professional team at Navwealth. Together we work to deliver on our strategic plans and provide services to a calibre that our clients expect and deserve.

As part of the leadership team, I follow a vision and strategy that entails mentoring and supporting the development of our people as we continue to grow. Through this focus, we remain adaptable and agile when change occurs – allowing us to thrive and continuously deliver extraordinary results for our clients.

It’s my belief that the value our profession contributes to people’s lives is extraordinary – especially because I have personally seen its impact on clients’ circumstances, health, financials and most importantly, their dreams and aspirations.

I am driven by seeing people grow and achieve their dreams, so I am extremely focused when helping clients define their lifestyle and financial goals, a passion that has been burning for over three decades. Clients often share with me how this has led to their success in making sure they focus on what is important to them and not getting distracted from achieving their life purpose. For me, this is what financial advice is all about.

Outside of work, I enjoy being with my family, boating, motorbike riding in the country and snow skiing. I find joy in seeing people do the things they love – so you can trust me to guide you towards financial independence that turns your dreams into reality.

With decades of expertise in assisting our clients in aligning their finances with their personal and professional aspirations, we have consistently been recognised as Australia’s Most Trusted Advisers since 2014.

Chris

We met up with Craig perhaps 15 years ago. He has gone out of his way to be helpful and insightful and put our goals into action and priorities. His advice has been reliable – genuine and understandable. I cherish the day we met him and thank him and his team for helping.

Suzanne

Craig continues to look after my financial needs as if I were family, and his advice- knowledge, and personality are exemplary. I have great admiration for him, both professionally and personally.

Steve

Craig and his team have been first class in delivering quality financial guidance to myself and my family. His team looks after 3 generations of our family and we couldn’t ask for better service and advice. You always feel great when you leave his office after a visit.
