Matt Farrell has been the driving force behind 5 Financial since he first opened the doors in 1988. From the beginning, his focus has been on creating a business that genuinely helps people reach their goals, and more than three decades on, that vision continues to guide the way the firm operates. While he was the company’s first financial adviser, Matt has since stepped back from day-to-day client work, trusting a talented team of professionals to carry the business forward. His role today is centred on leadership, strategy, and ensuring the organisation continues to grow while staying true to its original purpose.
Matt is also proud of the culture that has developed within 5 Financial — one where knowledge, collaboration, and care for clients are front and centre. He believes financial advice isn’t just about managing money; it’s about giving people clarity and confidence in the choices they make for their future. His commitment to lifelong learning has shaped the firm too, with a strong emphasis on professional development and adapting to the changing needs of clients.
