Polly is a Qualified Property Investment Advisor (QPIA) at Empower Wealth. Prior to joining Empower Wealth, Polly worked in professional services and banking for 13 years across Australia and UK. She is a Chartered Accountant and holds a Bachelor of Commerce and Information Systems, and a Diploma in Financial Planning.

Polly was introduced to the power of property investing through Robert Kyosaki’s “Rich Dad Poor Dad” and brought her first property in Melbourne at 25. Having worked through the challenges of the Global Financial Crisis and the Euro debt crisis, Polly understood the importance of having multiple income sources and the freedom it could offer. Although Polly’s accounting experience was focused on corporates and institutions, she has always been interested in personal finance and in her spare time, continued to invest and accumulate growth assets. She now has a portfolio of 5 residential properties (her preferred asset class), shares, ETFs and fixed income for diversification purposes.

As an avid listener of The Property Couch podcast, Polly resonated with the passion and ethics of Empower Wealth and seized the opportunity to help others to achieve financial freedom by making informed investment choices.

Outside of work, Polly enjoys traveling and the outdoors, tennis and attending musicals.

Working with Empower was extremely straight forward and our advisor Polly made everything super simple and clear. We are certainly glad we took this first step in securing our financial future and simply having a plan in place now has set us in motion and given us plenty of momentum. Thanks team!

Polly was able to focus our financial strategy and prioritise investments that made sense given our status as expats. She understood our situation and what we would need to achieve our financial goals. Would highly recommend working with Polly and we will continue to do so as we implement our plan. She is our trusted advisor. Thanks Polly!

The experience was great - I pipe dreamed a lot during covid and probably over extended myself as everything came to fruition at the same time this year so i checked in with the Polly and the Empower Wealth team to make sure i could balance everything i had on the cards. Polly talked me through the options and tried to pull information out of me. I was pleasantly surprised to learn i was on an OK trajectory and just needed a few tweaks. Mel from the mortgage broking team eased my anxiety around borrowing and the mistakes i'd made around joint ventures. Excited to get through the next few months and put my plan into full swing

Polly took the time to understand my needs and crafted a tailored plan that perfectly aligned with my financial objectives. Her professionalism and dedication were evident throughout the entire process, making the complex world of property investment seem manageable and even exciting!

Polly is very approachable and was worth the money that we paid. The process was great for us because we don’t know what we don’t know. As well, it forced us to listen to each other and Polly was fantastic for both challenging and clarifying when needed.
