Our Story
For 30 years, we’ve been helping people make smart choices about money, so they can feel confident about their future and live their ideal life.
Based in Warners Bay, we’ve grown from one man working out of a home office to a team of 13. A lot has changed in that time, but the way we look after our clients hasn’t. We take the time to get to know you, understand what’s important to you and your family, and help put a plan in place to get you where you want to go.
One of the benefits of working with Progressive is that you’re not relying on just one person. Our four financial advisers work closely together, with the experience and mentorship of our Founder and Director, Brad Downes. Between them, there are five financial minds sharing ideas, talking through strategies and bringing different strengths to the table. You’ll have your adviser, but you’ll also have the experience of the wider team behind them.
And it’s a team that has been together for a long time. Our 13 staff have an average tenure of more than 10 years. For you, that means dealing with people who get to know you, your history and your family, rather than having to start again with someone new every few years.
Of course, life doesn’t stand still. Your circumstances change, your goals change and the financial world changes too. Having a team around you means there are people keeping an eye on the bigger picture and working together to help keep your plans on track.
At the end of the day, financial planning isn’t just about the numbers. It’s about knowing where you’re headed, feeling confident in the decisions you make along the way, and having good people in your corner to help you get there.
And just as we help our clients plan for the future, we think about ours too. We want Progressive to keep growing and adapting as things change, so we can continue to be here for our clients and their families for the next 30 years and beyond.
