A smiling Scott McGhie, Adviser Support at a financial advice firm in Perth. He wears glasses, a beard, and a light blue dress shirt standing against a white background.

Working in an office surrounded by headstrong women keeps me on my toes! I'm still learning when to speak up and when to just nod and say "yes, you're absolutely right."

Seeing a client feel comfortable and reassured with their finances is a great thing to see and be part of.

Outside business hours, you'll find me running, riding, or doing anything fitness-related. I'm also a keen golfer, which probably explains my patience levels around here.

I spent three years at South Coogee Volunteer Fire Brigade, and I've competed in a state championship for indoor laser tag in Brisbane - yes, that's a real sport! I've also completed the Great Ocean Road Marathon, which was significantly more painful than dodging laser beams.

Up Close & Personal with Scott

  • Well, first of all, the important question: who’s picking up the bill?

    Because a great dinner is always better when someone else is footing the tab!

    That said, I’d choose Alice Cooper. As a long-time fan of rock and metal, I’ve always admired how he’s managed to stay relevant throughout the years. I imagine dinner with him would come with a treasure trove of stories—tales from the wild side of rock ‘n’ roll, encounters with legendary musicians, and maybe a few unexpected life lessons. Plus, I suspect he’d have a great sense of humour about it all. It would definitely be an unforgettable evening.

  • If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what your always got

    – Henry Ford

  • The Gambler – Kenny Rogers

  • The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien. Yes, it’s a classic—but they're classics for a reason - no surprises there. If you like the movie you'll prefer the book.

  • Amsterdam, as an avid cyclist the idea of no hills sounds incredible. Also, it's only a hop, skip or jump to a myriad of other cities.
