Financial Advisers

APEX Financial Services Group
Proud to be one of Queensland’s premier Defence Force advisory groups.
Apex is an independent, self-licensed practice focused on transparency, integrity, and genuine value. Our philosophy is simple: provide clients with the knowledge and support they need to make informed financial decisions—without pressure or sales tactics. Our advisers are specifically trained in all aspects of DVA and have a deep understanding of Permanent Impairment (PI), Special Rate Disability Pension (SRDP), CSC, MSBS, DFRDB, PSS, ADF transitions and more. Whether you're preparing for discharge or have already received a DVA offer, we are here to provide the clarity, support, and guidance you need at every stage.
Our support also extends beyond Defence force members to empowering all individuals in making confident, informed decisions to achieve lasting financial wellbeing. Whether it’s retirement planning, wealth creation, superannuation, insurance and more we pride ourselves in our personal and holistic approach to financial planning.

navigating finan

Partners in Planning

Partners in Planning was created to challenge the traditional financial planning firm of the time.

Since day one we have never been a traditional financial planning firm and our motto reflects this.

This is because we could see flaws in the pre post royal commission system.

We are built on a fee for service model from our inception. We deliver advice on a holistic level with no inhouse products. Then we work together to design and implement a plan that achieves your goals and objectives.

What makes us different?

We are self-licensed, so there is no hidden agenda behind our investment philosophy.
