Pippa Elliott founded Momentum Planning in 2002, with a passion for holistic and commission free advice. As a Certified Financial Planner with over 25 years of financial services experience, Pippa has been widely recognised within the profession for business innovation, advice process and delivering client outcomes.

Why Financial Planning for you?
Because it’s all I know and it’s woven into every part of my life – I am a planner in every sense, I can’t help but think about the future, I love to see results, I value the hard work it takes to get those results and enjoy celebrating when the plan comes together.

How do others describe you?
That question makes me smile, but I would hope to be known as practical, reliable, trustworthy and kind.

Amanda Jarosz joined Momentum Planning in 2006, inspired by the personal nature of the business in getting to know and understand each client as an individual. Amanda is a Certified Financial Planner and holds a Masters in Applied Finance, and has over 18 years of financial services experience.

Why Financial Planning for you?
People make important decisions every day, and sometimes just having that sounding board, someone you can call who knows your position and what you’re hoping to achieve, can make all of the difference. Seeing the outcomes and applying the same principals in my own life are a constant reminder of how planning can bring it all together.

What do you enjoy?
Structuring my working life around spending lots of time with my young family, and celebrating achievements of my own and of those around me.

Why Financial Planning?
I have always enjoyed meeting and getting to know new people and maths has always been a strength of mine so I love that financial planning combines both. Being able to give my clients peace of mind, support and balance in life feels extremely rewarding to me and I am grateful to be a part of a profession that allows me to do that.

Why Financial Planning?
I knew I had a passion for finance – but I also wanted a career that makes a difference to real people. It is very rewarding to see our hard work pay off to our clients – who are real, everyday people and their families. I enjoy working for a company that helps clients determine and meet their goals, and we get to do that by using our technical expertise to solve problems and connect with people.
