They have listened and understood my priorities and have put together a comprehensive plan. Financial planning is definitely not my area of strength but together the group has given me a sense of financial security and understanding.
Rosemary Cosentino Founding Principal
Frontier Financial Group really care about their clients with regular reviews and meetings, making investment changes with current trends of the market.
Mark Dewhurst Retired School Principal
David has guided us from having ‘no idea’ about our retirement to feeling we have control of our future.
Helen Zull Retired School Principal
As school principals, we manage large amounts of money but when it came to retirement and the management and investment of our hard-earned funds I was much happier to work with Richard to ensure we had enough funds to support our new lifestyle for many years to come.
Bill and Milly Blair Retired Qantas Pilot and part time hospital worker
David’s professionalism and expertise along with his open, friendly personality has been exceptional.
Frontier Financial Group provide excellent service with what we consider a very reasonable fee structure.
Joy and Richard Bennetts Retired Nurse and School Principal

Still have questions before reaching out?
What does a financial advisor do?
A financial advisor helps you make informed decisions about your money–from growing your wealth and managing investments to planning for retirement and structuring your superannuation. At Frontier Financial Group, we provide tailored advice aligned to your long-term goal;, not just short-term market movements.
What’s the difference between a financial advisor and a financial planner?
The terms are often used interchangeably, but financial planning typically focuses on building a long-term strategy across areas like retirement, superannuation, and wealth creation.
Financial advisors can also provide broader guidance across investments, risk management, and financial decision-making. At Frontier, we bring both together in a cohesive approach.
How do I choose the right financial advisor in Melbourne?
Look for experience, transparency, and an approach that aligns with your goals. A strong financial advisor will take the time to understand your unique situation, explain their recommendations clearly, and provide ongoing support.
Do I need a financial advisor or can I manage my finances myself?
Many people can manage certain aspects of their finances independently, but a financial advisor can provide structure, strategy, and clarity, especially when navigating major decisions like retirement, superannuation, or aged care. Advice from a financial advisor becomes particularly valuable when the stakes are higher or the situation is more complex.
When should I see a financial planner?
It’s never too early, but it becomes especially important during key life stages, such as:
- Building wealth in your 30s–40s
- Preparing for retirement in your 50s–60s
- Transitioning into retirement in your 60s–70s
Getting advice early can help you avoid costly missteps and stay on track long-term.
What services does Frontier Financial Group offer?
We provide a comprehensive range of financial services, including wealth management, superannuation advice, retirement planning, SMSF administration & guidance, personal insurance, and aged care financial advice.
Do you work with clients across both Melbourne and Australia-wide?
Our team primarily support clients across Melbourne and regional Victoria, with offices in both Melbourne CBD and Bairnsdale. However, we also work with clients more broadly where appropriate, offering flexibility in how advice is delivered.
Do you specialise in working with education professionals?
Yes. Frontier Financial Group has extensive experience supporting school principals, administrators, and education professionals, particularly in areas like superannuation, salary packaging for teachers, and long-term financial planning.
