Risk Specialist

I’m a dedicated Financial Planning Adviser with a passion for helping individuals and families gain clarity, confidence, and control over their financial future. With a client-first mindset and a meticulous approach to strategy, I provide tailored advice across wealth creation, risk management, retirement planning, and superannuation.

 

Through my hands-on experience helping clients claim life, TPD, income protection, and trauma insurance, I’ve seen firsthand the vital role insurance plays in protecting both individuals and their loved ones. This has deepened my commitment to ensuring that my clients are well-protected in every aspect of their financial journey.

What
Our Clients
Say

Our situation has also changed a lot over this period, mainly when we moved to live and work in Japan from April 2014, remaining here in a role in Tokyo. At the time of the move, Nigel and his team provided a comprehensive analysis of the likely local tax and investment implications of becoming Japan residents, and this has been helpful for the nearly six years we have been here.

Michael & Laysee Atkins
Senior Executive/Company Director (in Japan)

Nigel Janson has been looking after my superannuation interests for over 10 years. During this time I have found Nigel to be prompt with any request I have made and he has provided informative newsletters as to variations in the market which may affect superannuations in general. Although I would classify my superannuation as modest I feel I have always been treated in the same manner as any other superannuation investor.
