A bit of background on FPW Financial Advice
FPW Financial Advice is named so because of my family heritage in the Western Suburbs of Melbourne. My mother’s side of the family are all from the city and dad’s side from country Victoria. The FPW stands for ‘Fraser, Powell and Williams’, families from my mother’s background.
The Frasers, Powells and Williams were caring and considerate people. They were also practical and had expertise in their chosen fields. These were people that were all about participating in the community and giving back where it was possible.
Having run my own business for 12 years before joining a partnership for 6 years, going back to my own business in 2021 feels like coming home. And coming home will allow myself and Karen to provide caring and considered services to all our clients.
