I’m an experienced financial planner who loves making a positive and meaningful difference to my pre- and post-retiree clients. Sharing in someone’s personal life experiences and milestones is the best feeling – knowing I played a part in making it happen is what makes this role so fulfilling.

I was born in Australia and raised in New Zealand, moving to the Gold Coast in 2003. Family changes in my teens taught me the importance of financial security, especially for women. This has motivated me to support women with wealth, which I see as a way to help close the gender wealth gap.

I joined RFS Advice in 2011 after building and running my own small business. I gained my Masters in Financial Planning with Distinction from Griffith University, winning the Griffith University Award for Academic Excellence.

I was also admitted into the Golden Key International Honours Society for the top 15% of students worldwide. Not bad for someone who left high school at 16.

Griffith University Postgraduate High Achiever award for achieving the highest grade in Retirement and Estate Planning (April 2018)

Griffith University Postgraduate High Achiever award for achieving the highest grade in Applied Financial Planning (November 2017)

Griffith University Award for Academic Excellence in 2017

Griffith University Award for Academic Excellence in 2018

Admitted into the Golden Key International Honour Society, which is only offered to the top 5% of Griffth University students and the top 15% of students worldwide.

Griffith University Masters of Financial Planning awarded to me with Distinction (the only one to be awarded a Distinction in my graduating class).

Hobbies and Interests

Enjoying delicious food and wine with family and friends.

Watching AFL games, preferably at the stadium - Go Tigers!

Being active at the gym or if I'm lucky, snowboarding.

Going to live comedy shows as long as I don't get picked on!

Niki in the Hot Seat

LeBron James as his dedication to being elite at basketball even after all these years and successes he’s had, but also how much of a family man he is and how he balances this is inspiring. He comes across as very humble despite all that he has achieved.

“Heart is what separates the good from the great.” – Michael Jordan

John Farnham – You’re the voice

Somewhere it snows (Canada or the USA), because the snow is magical and a complete contrast to the hot humid GC. I would love to be able to snowboard for an extended period of time.

I chartered a flight to Mount Yasur which is an active volcano on Tanna Island in Vanuatu and stood on the edge while it rumbled under my feet and erupted ash and lava into the air in front of me.

Nikki and Melissah went above and beyond for us, incredibly knowledgeable, helpful without any stress or pressure. Wonderful to work with.

P. CLAYTON

Niki has been excellent and along with the excellent reviews of the company, the main reason we chose RFS to invest our funds. Niki is extremely knowledgable and patient and has been very helpful regarding out NZ super funds and the process to get them across to Australia.

KERRY, R

The other adviser companies we met with prior to selecting RFS were vague on this issue and also were not as thorough as Niki regarding the entire investment process.

KERRY, R
