Annie Armstrong

Client Services Manager

I have been part of the AdvicePlus Financial Solutions team since February 2021, working as Client Service Manager and supporting our Financial Planners across reception and administrative functions. This role marked an exciting new career chapter for me, following many years in housing-based services.

I am highly client-focused and take pride in ensuring every client feels welcomed, supported and well looked after.

Born and raised in the New England region, I have called Lismore home since 1994. Outside of work, I enjoy spending quality time with my family and making the most of the outdoors — whether that’s golfing, kayaking, gardening or relaxing at the beach. I also have a passion for travel and have enjoyed several memorable trips, with many more to look forward to.

Jeffrey Hassan

Financial Planner

I have been working in Banking and Finance since 1996 and take great pride and satisfaction from helping others achieve their financial goals.

As a volunteer in the community, I have assisted at my children’s schools, swimming clubs, parkrun and professional associations, and I am also a Commissioner for Declarations.

Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my family including our family property near Mt Warning.

As a retired snowboard instructor, I also enjoy watching more sports than I play now including Formula 1 and football, and love to travel.
