The People Behind Your Financial Success
We're not just financial advisors — we're your partners in building sustainable wealth. Our team combines decades of experience with fresh perspectives, all focused on making complex financial concepts accessible to everyday Australians.
Raquel Thornfield
Chief Financial Strategist
Coming from a background in agricultural finance, Raquel spent her early career helping farming families navigate drought cycles and commodity price swings. That experience taught her something textbooks couldn't — that real financial planning isn't about perfect spreadsheets, it's about understanding life's unpredictability.
She joined nexaarayro in early 2023 after noticing too many Australians were paying excessive fees for basic financial advice. Her approach focuses on transparency and education, believing that when people understand where their money goes, they make better decisions.
What Drives Our Approach
These aren't corporate buzzwords — they're the principles that guide every conversation, every recommendation, and every decision we make with your money.
Fee Transparency
Every cost explained upfront. No hidden fees, no surprise charges, no fine print that benefits us more than you.
Plain English
Financial jargon serves no one except people trying to sound impressive. We explain things clearly because clarity leads to confidence.
Local Focus
Australian tax laws, superannuation rules, and market conditions. We specialize in the financial landscape you actually navigate.
How We Actually Work
Most financial firms talk about client relationships while rushing through appointments to maximize billable hours. We built our practice differently.
Our team meets monthly to discuss not just market trends, but how to better explain complex concepts. We track client understanding, not just portfolio performance. And we measure success by how confident our clients feel making financial decisions independently.
