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.

Thanks so much to Polly at Empower Wealth for showing us what we could achieve. What was shown to us and put in to our plan was way beyond our expectations and something we’d previously felt would be way out of our reach. If someone had told us prior to our meeting this is what we’d realistically be able to achieve by the end of it, we wouldn’t have believed it. We’re so glad we made the decision to proceed with developing our property plan after our initial meeting and didn’t blindly dive into this next chapter of our lives. Being provided with a comprehensive timeline to envision and show the end goal coming together was a complete game changer for us. To now have a personally developed plan to follow has allowed us to take the next step to work towards financial freedom with confidence and certainty.

Polly was fantastic to deal with, she was eager to know about our lives and how she could best guide us to our goals. She was attentive to our questions and quick to respond to our communications. I would have no hesitation in recommending her services and will continue to catch up with her in the future to review our plan

Doing a property plan Empower Wealth was nothing short of excellent. Being able to harness professional advice alongside incredibly powerful (and comprehensive) software, gave us reassurance about the journey we had planned. Actually, getting a property plan done was a big step for us, not only to get the ball rolling and take proactive action towards wealth building but also to keep us accountable now and into the future. It also helped my wife more tangibly align our goals and expectations going forward too. At the end of the plan I was left asking to question “Is that it? Is that all we have to do?” It seemed too easy, but so achievable, and the math maths - so I have real confidence in it. Polly, our advisor, was awesome. Communicated everything at our pace and on our level, ensuring we were educated and aligned throughout. We feel set up and excited to continue in our next steps within the Empower Wealth ecosystem working with the mortgage broking and buyers agent teams.
