The name Salt and Stone Financial Planning reflects both lifestyle and strength — two elements that shape the way we support our clients.

Salt symbolises our strong connection to the coast and the calm, balanced approach inspired by coastal living in the Merewether area for nearly three decades. It reflects clarity, perspective, and the importance of enjoying life while planning for the future.

Stone represents stability, reliability, and trust — the foundations of effective financial planning. It speaks to the long-term relationships we build with our clients and the solid strategies we put in place to help protect their financial security through every stage of life.
