Why should you work with us? We will give you the education and guidance to help you manage your money and secure your future.
The Collins English dictionary defines Counterpoint as “the harmonious combining of two or more parts”. Our business and its principal Digby Hurst has identified there are many competing priorities in the financial decisions we make and the resulting position we find ourselves in. Our advice aims to help you find this harmony.
An all too common challenge faced by our newly referred clients is the frustration they feel in not knowing where to start on their financial journey. Problems often feel too big, with work a continual prospect. Many wish they had put a plan in place earlier. The approach Counterpoint takes is to prioritise the important lifestyle and financial outcomes (aka goals) of our clients. Our clients leverage this insight to implement the best options and strategies that results in having true financial certainty over their lifestyle and financial aspirations.
The result is our clients can answer the eternal question, “Am I on track” and live my best life as a result.
We value and delight in our clients transforming their current money worries into peace of mind and confidence that they can achieve their tightly held aspirations. Importantly, our lives are not lived within a spreadsheet and financial decisions involve both the head and the heart. The true value of a trusted professional is to help and guide clients through these competing priorities, so their impact is fully understood thus allowing clients to feel satisfied with their decisions.
This is what Counterpoint does.

My career introduction to finance commenced 15 years ago as a highly respected and awarded Vocational Trainer for Bankwest, however my passion for finance started long before this with my first investments in shares and property before the age of 20.
I returned to work in 2012 managing the finances for a successful retail family business, which provided insight into the importance of tax effective small business structures.
My experience to date has taught me there is no room for uneducated emotional decisions in finance. As a result, 2019 saw me join the world of Financial Advice as an Administration Assistant, which led to my current role as Client Services Manager. I am currently studying a Graduate Diploma in Financial Planning, the perfect hybrid of my passion for finance and my facilitation experience and strength in making an action or process easier. Can you imagine . . . . a world where finance is easy?
My desire is for every individual to have the confidence and clarity to set personal financial goals, and have access to quality educated advice and strategy to achieve these goals.
My commitment is to always listen to your needs and together achieve the best possible outcomes for your financial security and aspirations.
Away from work, I am a mother of two beautiful girls. I love keeping fit and dream of a family caravan adventure around Australia.
