When moving to another country, it is important to have ready access to quality advice from people and organisations with a strong knowledge of the local market and environment.
The Brisbane/Gold Coast office of the Network provides this access. Through its service providers, the network offers a full range of services to potential and new migrants. RICHARD HILL is responsible for managing
the Australian Business Migration Network Office in Brisbane and the Gold
Coast. In addition to his Network responsibilities, Richard is also able
to assist and advise his Network clients on a range of Financial Planning
matters, including Investment Planning, Superannuation & Retirement
Planning Strategies, Life Insurance, Securing Home/Investment Loans and
Rellocation Allowances.
After graduating in 1986 from Natal University in South Africa, Richard
went on to qualify as a Chartered Accountant. He has held a number of
financial positions in multi-national listed companies including Deloitte
& Touche, Anglo American Corporation and De Beers. Richard has worked
in the Financial Planning industry since 1998 and has experience in offering
personal financial planning advice. He has also consulted corporate clients
regarding property and business financial requirements.
Richard and his family fully understand the process of migrating to a
new country. If you are considering a move to the state of Queensland,
Richard should be your first point of contact for all your migration questions
and financial requirements.
