The Advisers
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
Brendon Read

As your financial adviser I have the qualifications and experienced to provide advice in all aspects of financial planning, including expertise in GESB Gold State and West State Superannuation.
Brodie Martin

As an owner and Director of Profusion Planning, I am very proud of the work that we all do for our clients.
Tynaya Letizia
Financial Adviser
I am a dedicated financial adviser with a passion for helping people make the most of their finances while also achieving their lifestyle goals. I hold a Bachelor of Business, majoring in Financial Planning, and have been at Profusion Planning since 2017 (currently in the final stages of my professional year under the supervision of Brendon Read). My focus is on guiding clients through personalised financial strategies that empower them to make informed decisions. I take pride in helping individuals find the balance between financial security and the freedom to live the life they envision.
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.
