Daniel Thompson - Financial Advisor Wollongong

Gain financial clarity and independence with membership-based, simple & accessible financial advice. Financial advice, the way it should be done!

What We Help With

Managing Concentration Risk

When most of your wealth sits in one company’s stock, your financial future is riding on a single bet. We help you decide how much to hold, how much to diversify, and when — without leaving the upside on the table.

Equity & Tax Strategy

RSUs, options, and ESPP are each taxed differently, and timing matters more than most people realise. We help you understand what you hold, what it’ll cost you, and how to plan around it.

Liquidity Events

An IPO, acquisition, or major vesting cliff can change everything overnight. We help you prepare before it happens, so a windfall becomes lasting wealth instead of a missed opportunity.

    “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.”

    Elle – Needing clarity & confidence

    “So much clarity. Other companies pushed me back as ‘too young’ to take on. The peace of mind from a plan unique to my lifestyle is honestly a gamechanger.”

    James – First Home Buyer, now in his home

    “Working with Dan has been great. They took the time to build the trust we wanted when it came to our money.”

    Jess & Aaron — Set their foundations and started investing

    “Now I have someone who mentors my investing decisions.” Ash bought an investment property within 12 months.

    Ash — Fast-tracked his path to financial independence

    “My wife and I worked with Daniel and the team at NewEra to put together our financial plan. We have found them to be a trustworthy and professional Financial Advisor. Always willing to answer any queries we had throughout the process. Would highly recommend.”

    Shane & Marie – Investors growing their wealth

    “I’m very happy with the guidance provided by New Era Financial Planning. Having worked full time for most of my life, the thought of retirement with ongoing financial security was daunting. From my first meeting with Daniel I had a greater understanding and confidence that I am able to plan to retire in the near future with a positive financial plan to support me.”
    Janet – Transitioning to Retirement with confidence


      What you’ll walk away with

      A plan you can actually follow

      No more guessing. You’ll have a clear financial roadmap that shows exactly where you are, where you’re heading, and the very next step to take — so every decision moves you forward instead of adding to the pile.

      Clarity and confidence with every decision

      Money stops being a source of stress and starts being something you feel on top of. You’ll understand what you’re doing and why, with an expert in your corner — so you can make big calls (and sleep at night) knowing the right plans and protection are in place.

      Real, lasting growth

      This is where it compounds. We’ll help you keep more of your income, put your savings, super & investments to work, and build toward the big goals — the home, the freedom, the future — so your hard work actually builds something that lasts.
