Saul Muscardin

Financial Adviser / Financial Planner

Saul is a financial planner who prides himself on creating amazing client outcomes and client experiences.

He has always been fixated with ‘finding a better way’ – for years that obsession served him well helping business owners improve operations, enhance productivity, and improve their bottom line. These days Saul is proud to help deliver those same kinds of benefits to every-day Australians, helping them optimise their financial lives and improve their financial well-being.

 

Being a passionate investor himself, Saul loves to talk to clients about ‘working smarter, not harder’, building wealth, passive income and breaking the link between time & money (Most peoples relationship with money involves trading their precious time for it… but there is a better way!).

Saul & his wife Aleena got tired of the big smoke (Sydney) in 2014 and moved to Kingscliff on the beautiful NSW Far North Coast.... we’re never going back! After Saul stumbled across CHG in 2017 he knew immediately that he had found ‘home’ – a place of talented professionals driven toward the common goal of helping their clients win. A year later he joined the team and couldn’t be happier.

Saul believes that all clients are unique and that there is no one-size-fits-all solution. He is also a passionate believer that what drives our success (in life and as investors) is our behaviour. He became obsessed with behavioural economics (the study of why we make predictably irrational decisions about money) so that he could help his clients overcome their biggest obstacles to financial success and financial freedom.

I believe that the best outcomes for clients are achieved by distilling all of the complexities down to what is really important. There is beauty in simplicity.
