The Advisers
Rex Rozario
Financial Adviser
Superannuation and retirement with expertise on GESB accounts. We have a compulsory super system and nobody really teaches us how it works but it plays a major role in everyone's retirement. Most of my 7+ years at GESB was spent in the technical and advisory areas so I am well versed in untaxed funds and defined benefit schemes.
Ben Coombe
Financial Adviser
As a financial adviser and Director of Profusion Planning, I am passionate about providing clear, conservative strategies that are easy to understand and enable informed decision making. I focus on building lasting relationships so that I can deliver maximum value as my clients work through the different phase of life. Prior to joining Profusion Planning, I was a Director and financial adviser at Bruining Partners. Earlier in my career, I also held senior roles for several leading Australian Funds Management and Superannuation companies. In this time, I gained extensive knowledge and experience in a vast range of financial services. Outside of individual client work, I enjoy presenting at conferences & seminars on topics, including the global economy, portfolio construction, self-managed super funds and superannuation legislation. On the personal front, I enjoy spending time with my family, getting on the golf course and cheering on the Sydney Swans

Gavin Smith
Financial Adviser
With more than 20 years’ experience, I believe in the profound impact financial advice can have on individuals and families. I enjoy fostering strong client relationships and ensuring your financial plan is executed promptly to help achieve your goals. I like to make the financial planning process an engaging and enjoyable experience while maintaining a high level of professionalism. I hold a Diploma in Financial Planning, Certified Financial Planner (CFP) status, and an MBA. My experience and credentials help me to offer strategic insights and comprehensive financial solutions. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my wife and three adult children. I also enjoy dining out, trundling on my bicycle and, somewhat masochistically, supporting English soccer team, Chelsea.
