About us
Giving you Clarity around your financial situation, giving you back Control of your financial path and Collaborating with you on the journey ahead.
Understanding your situation
Getting to know you and your situation is key to successful planning. As a Family-Owned business, we understand the struggles that you face, both at work and at home. We ask about a lot of things designed to help paint a picture of “where you are at”, on which strategies and personal advice can be built to provide for your retirement.
Simple fee structure
We started the business with one premise, valuable advice for a fixed fee. We agree with you on the work to be undertaken, and the fee for the service that we will charge. This fee depends on the complexity and value of the advice to be provided and is quoted and agreed prior to any commitment from you. This may seem simple, but it provides you with transparency that percentage-based fees may not provide.
The Team
A down to earth team providing experience, and professional advice.
Tim is in his 29th year as a Financial Planner…and has the grey hair to show for it.
He is married to Monique (who also has the grey to prove it) and is the proud father of two professional daughters, who form the backbone to the business…and he has the grey hair to show for it.
After 17 years honing his skills with some of the largest accounting groups in Qld, he decided to hang his own shingle so that he could re-focus on family, and “Three Chairs Financial Services” was born.
With a focus on Small Business Succession Planning, Strategic Retirement Planning and Superannuation, Tim brings a practical approach to an oftentimes complicated situation.
As a Certified Financial Planner (CFP), accredited SMSF adviser, and having a Bachelor of Business (Accounting) Degree, Tim is well placed to deal with all manner of retirement planning and succession planning advice.
As with many ideas, the business name was developed with friends and family around the dinner table after a few wines. The three “C’s” refer to Clarity, Control and Collaboration.
“I get a real buzz from the look on client’s faces when the “tumblers” all click into place, and the joy as they realise that we can help them meet their goals”.
After a successful career in IT, Evan started studying to become a Financial Planner in 2008. He joined a small Financial Planning practice in Aspley as a Client Service Officer gaining experience in the industry and the business from the ground up.
Evan has been a Financial Adviser since 2011 and continues to study having recently completed his Graduate Diploma of Financial Planning. He is also working towards his Master of Financial Planning.
Evan’s passion is helping people approaching retirement and he gets a kick out of seeing clients skip out of the meeting, grinning from ear to ear knowing they can retire comfortably, travel and spend time with family and friends.
“It’s as though what we’ve told them has put a spring back into their step, because their goals are within reach”.
He also helps young professionals who are just starting out, executives with little time to manage their own affairs, retired clients that just want to be on a cruise ship, through to clients moving into an aged care facility.
If you asked Evan what he likes about working at Three Chairs Financial Services, he would say it’s our focus on providing value to clients…we think it’s because the team are also great to work with!

After working for Three Chairs Financial Services for the past 3+ years, she has had exposure in many areas of financial planning, such as Succession Planning, Retirement Planning, Superannuation, and personal insurance.
“Growing up I was always certain that I would ‘not be a financial adviser like my dad’, but since starting with Three Chairs Financial Services (initially in an administration role) I’ve been able to see the positive impact that our advice has on our clients. I realized that I wanted to be part of this, and enrolled into my Masters Degree within a few months of starting”.
