Our Story

Who We Are

Anyone can say that they’re different from other providers. And while our on-demand, online advice, provided by a team with a wealth of industry experience might tick that box, we don’t think it’s enough. 

I founded New Era because people needed something better. I’ve faced similar challenges and hurdles in life as you have, and have seen friends going through the same. By doing things right, with a proven system and expert guidance, I believe everyone can achieve financial independence.

We’ve brought together top talent from across Australia to provide you with the expertise you need to reach your financial goals. Backed by our global network and trusted partners, we deliver the high-quality service you deserve. At New Era Financial Planning, values and expertise go hand in hand—you’ll experience our commitment and personalized approach at every step of your journey with us.

Client Stories

FIRST HOME BUYER

James, Melbourne

“So much clarity. Money mostly seems like a sensitive topic and other companies pushed me back as ‘too young’ to take on as a client… The peace of mind from a plan unique to my lifestyle is honestly a gamechanger.”

James had been trying to break into the property market for a while. With our advice and support, we ensured his property purchase went smoothly. He’s now in his own home and couldn’t be happier.

Financial Optimisers

Jess & Aaron, Melbourne

“Working with Dan has been great. It’s nice they’ve taken time to create that level of trust, which we really wanted when it came to our money… The flexibility to meet up at any time is invaluable.”

Jess & Aaron had been tracking along reasonably well and were ready to invest for their future. We set their financial foundations, a safety net and helped them build their investments and get on the path to financial freedom.

Financial Optimiser

Ash, Melbourne

“So much clarity, now I have someone who mentors my investing decisions.”

Ash wasn’t sure of the right way to start & build his portfolio. With our help, Ash purchased an investment property in 12 months, fast-tracking his goal of financial independence.

Empty Nesters

Louise & Alan, NSW

“Daniel listens carefully to your needs and goals, then carefully assesses and advises you on an appropriately tailored all-around package to provide financial protection and the means to achieve financial security.”

Louise was worried about her financial security when finishing work. With the right planning and strategy over the last half a decade or so, Louise has now retired early, along with Alan. They now spend their time travelling & visiting family .

(without breaking the bank)

A fantastic, trustworthy, supportive service that has helped me to sort my money goals. I feel a lot safer now when it comes to my money – when it comes to looking after myself and my daughter that is a really important element for me.

Does this sound like you?

I want to buy my first home

First home buyers are welcome at… New Era Financial. No smashed avo judgement here – just practical, proven strategies to help you build your deposit, get your finances in order, and apply for your mortgage

I need a bigger home

Kids on the way? Need more space to make #WFH work for you? You’re a next home buyer – and we’re here to help you work out what’s possible, and make your next great move happen

The kids have (almost) left & we want to get serious with our financial future

Being 'empty nesters' can be a bitter sweet time - the kids are off on their own adventures and not clattering around the house. At the same time this allows you to open up your possibilities and get serious about your financial future!

I want my finances to work in sync

Finance optimising is like a flywheel. When your super, tax and savings cogs are all spinning in harmony, you can stop worrying - and spend more time on the things you really want to do.
