Life is not lived on a spreadsheet

Before I ever talk strategy or numbers, I want to understand who you are, what you are trying to build, what keeps you up at night and what a good life looks like to you. Everything else follows from that.

My Committment

I work with a limited number of clients any point of time by design. That is how I ensure every client gets the depth of thinking and attention their situation deserves.

My Philosophy

Financial decisions do not happen in isolation. They are shaped by relationships, values, fears, hopes and the life you are trying to build. A financial plan that ignores any of those things is an incomplete plan.

    We couldn’t be happier with the advice and guidance we have received from Aadil. From the very beginning, he took a genuinely holistic approach to our financial situation. Rather than simply looking at numbers and investments, he first took the time to understand our values, priorities, goals, risk appetite and what we ultimately wanted our financial future to look like. Aadil then structured a comprehensive financial plan around those goals, covering everything from our property portfolio and superannuation to retirement planning, insurance, investments and the broader management of our finances.

    Aadil has been working with me and my partner for the last 9months on our financial plan both now and into retirement. At all times, I have found Aadil's approach to be open, considered and professional. He is an exceptional listener, has adapted our plan to meet our long term financial goals, and is always receptive to feedback. Additionally, Aadil has the confidence to push our boundaries, in a respectful way, and enable us to see options for wealth building that I had not ever thought of. He is innovative but conservative, professional and always personable, and I have enjoyed our working relationship to date. I look forward to working in partnership with Aadil for years to come and would not hesitate to recommend him.

    I have now engaged Aadil as my financial adviser for the past 6 months and the experience has been life-changing on many levels. I had some experience of another financial advisor in the family for over 20 years and the contrast is striking. Apart from his experience and knowledge of the industry, Aadil has a rare combination of qualities which sets him apart. His skill and integrity in guiding me around small and large financial decisions, his ability to keep me on track, reminding me of the larger picture has helped me feel more confident about the future. He is generous with his time, has been very available to answer my questions or concerns even outside formal appointments whenever I have needed, always explains things thoroughly and makes sure that I understand. His communication around money is respectful, humane, kind and wise.

Common Questions

Everything you need to know before we talk.

Common Questions

Everything you need to know before we talk.

Our first conversation

No forms, no jargon, no agenda. This is a genuine conversation about your life, your goals and what you are hoping financial advice can do for you. I want to understand your situation before I start thinking about solutions.

Understanding Your Whole Picture

We go deep. Income, assets, debts, tax position, super, insurance, family obligations and life goals. I also want to understand your relationship with money, your risk appetite and how financially confident you feel day to day. I calibrate how I work with you based on what you tell me here.

Building Your Strategy

Every strategy at Third Horizon Advice is built from scratch. I work through three key questions before finalizing any recommendation: Do the strategies align to your goals across different time horizons? Is the strategy simple enough to understand without being oversimplified? Can you stick to the proposed strategies consistently?

Presenting Your Plan

I present your plan in plain English. No unnecessary jargon. You will always understand what we are doing, why we are doing it and what we are not doing. If something does not make sense, we keep talking until it does.

Implementing and Reviewing

A financial plan is not a document you file away. Life changes and your plan needs to change with it. We review your strategy regularly and stay in contact when things happen in your life that might affect your financial position.
