Why run a trust?

Working with a professional, licensed trustee helps ensure money is invested carefully and distributed fairly.

Community control

Your community remains in control of its money and sets guidelines for how it is to be used. We act as advisors to help you achieve your vision.

Practical results

We partner with Aboriginal communities to achieve real results: building sports facilities, funding scholarships, subsidising vital community services and creating jobs.

Grow and protect

Perpetual’s investment approach is based on protecting and growing our clients’ money. That’s an investment philosophy that can help deliver long-term benefits for your community.

Bio

David began his career in the media industry as a commercial producer and voice over artist in metropolitan radio before moving into accounting, starting with Fordham as a graduate in 2011.

With a strong commercial, financial and tax background gained through working with high net wealth individuals and private business owners and their families, David is passionate about assisting family business with structure, conduct and performance. 

Whilst his clients come from a range of industries and are at all stages of the business life cycle, David recognises they have one common goal: to protect the wealth they've worked hard to create and maximise the financial returns that fuel the family’s future.

David delivers tailored solutions for corporate structuring, tax advice, asset protection, estate planning and intergenerational wealth planning. He has assisted high net-worth individuals to structure their assets and earnings in tax-effective ways, business owners looking to manage debt and professionalise their business and has worked closely with clients entering the retirement phase of their life.

More recently, David has begun working in conjunction with Perpetual and Fordham to provide consulting services to First Nations Communities around Australia.
