Charles Gallasch
Financial Adviser
Whilst initially working towards a business degree, it didn’t take long for me to gravitate towards Finance/Financial Planning as to what I was truly interested in. I have a passion of working both numbers and personally with people.
I quickly noticed the practical application of Financial Planning in everyday life, and was eager to finish my degree and begin working in the industry.
After completing my tertiary qualifications in 2015, I immediately commenced work in the Financial Services industry. I developed a great sense of achievement in working as a Financial Adviser and seeing the difference that was being made in people’s lives by putting in to practice the knowledge and skills that I had learnt through my University studies.
I saw an opportunity for further professional growth; eventually joining the team at Advice First at the end of 2019.
My goal moving forward is to be able to assist and educate clients in creating a greater understanding of their own financial position, what led them there, and how best to make positive changes towards financial stability. I acknowledge that there are challenges with the forever changing landscape that is Financial Planning, and as such am continuing my study/development to be at the forefront of these changes to eventually be able to pass this on to clients.
I was born and raised in Canberra, however moved to the beautiful Gold Coast back in 2009. My fiancé and I love travelling, whether it be domestic or internationally.
