Ben Frawley
Director | Certified Financial Planner
I, Ben Frawley, Certified Financial Planner and Director of Frawley Financial Planning & Retirement Services, have been in the financial services industry for over 35 years and financial planning for over 25 years, providing clients with sound, experienced advice that has enriched their lives.
Having grown up as the 5th of 6 boys and with a younger sister, I have learnt to communicate effectively with very different personalities from a young age, complemented by English & Linguistics, and Communications through my Arts Degree at Macquarie University. I believe communication is the key to effective financial planning.
Through my schooling, I held leadership positions at St Ignatius’ College, Riverview, and afterwards with North Sydney District Cricket Club and West Pennant Hills Cherrybrook Cricket Club, and Old Ignatians Cricket Club (Masters).
Upon completing my HSC in 1988, I worked with Macquarie Bank full time for 2 years and then part time through until the end of my Arts Degree in 1993.
I joined State Super Financial Services mid 1994, and by 1999 had worked hard and been promoted to financial planning, where I remained until 2008. I was then promoted to Regional Manager of the Penrith office. Here, I managed a team of 12 people and Funds Under Management of over $300M. I returned to Sydney as a Financial Planner in 2010 to continue my very successful financial planning career.
In 2010 I was in the Top 50 Australian Financial Review Masterclass examination of all CFPs throughout Australia.
In 2016, after 22 years, I left State Super Financial Services, and set up Frawley Financial Planning and Retirement Services, so that I can place greater focus on my clients and their needs, and place them first.
My three greatest passions in life are my beautiful family: my wife, Sue, and two boys Angus and Mitch; cricket and rugby.
