What I love is that you guys know your stuff but you're not on a pedestal. You talk on my level and care on my level.
- Paul

Live your best life
Your finances arenât working as hard as you? Perhaps your relationship with money needs improvement? Whatever it is, youâve come to the right place. In Verse, youâll have a coach, a team and a cheer squad. Seeing you achieve goals, eliminate worries and live your best life, is why we get out of bed.
Weâll help you make real progress
Not making the financial progress that reflects your hard work? Youâre not alone. The right advice will help you save more, invest better, improve net worth and most importantly, achieve the things that matter to you.
Less stress, more time
Itâs common for people to worry about money, at least until they get started with us. Weâll work out whatâs behind the financial stresses, resolve them and free up your time and energy for whatâs important.
A sense of control
Many of us feel like our finances are out of control and beyond our capabilities. A smart strategy supported by clarity, structure and accountability will have you feeling like the boss of your finances in no time.
Avoid money mistakes
Your progress is as much defined by what you get right, as by what you get wrong. Sidestepping dodgy investment choices and false assumptions is essential to creating and keeping momentum.
Confident about the future
Feeling uncertain about the future? Itâs hard to know how our decisions and actions will impact our future selves and lifestyle. We join these dots and turn uncertainty into certainty.
Approach
Hereâs how we approach things:
At Verse, our approach to advice is wildly different to most of the industry. We believe financial advice is a deeply personal experience. The challenges are real, the stakes are high, and the impact can be transformative. Traditional financial planners in Melbourne have focused on sales, products and commissions. Weâre obsessive about people, value and transparency. Put simply, weâve got a laser focus on you, and helping you make decisions that improve your today and create a better tomorrow.
Uniquely personal
Your life is your life, and financial advice needs to reflect it. Weâll align your strategy and decision making to what you value most. Thereâs nothing cookie cutter here.
Complex made simple
No one wants to be overwhelmed with financial jargon and industry speak. Weâre obsessed with simplicity, so youâre empowered and feel in control.
We make you money
Letâs cut to the chase, youâve got goals but youâre here to make money. Our depth of knowledge, experience and access to professional networks will make sure you do.
No commissions, no kickbacks
Weâre not aligned to any financial products and donât take commissions. Thatâs the traditional financial advice industry.
Your whole financial life
We manage your entire financial life by surrounding you with the right experts, at the right time. Weâre always collaborating so nothing is missed, as everything counts.
Friendly and supportive
There are no problems too big or small. Our Wealth Coach is here to assist anyone that has been thinking about seeking help with their finances.
Not your typical financial adviser
We do not sell you products or take any commissions. ZERO.
Less stress & uncertainty
Our highly qualified Wealth Coach will help uncover your real challenges and what's causing any stresses that you may be having with your finances. They will help you get useful resources in overcoming them. Resources can come in many forms - new perspective, mindset, realisations, goals, tools, strategy and knowledge.
More clarity & confidence
We help you uncover what you value most in life and goals that are aligned to them. We then explore and educate what wealth creation tools or strategy may be relevant for you.
We show, not tell
Are you keen in creating your own wealth creation master plan without someone telling you whatâs right for you, but with someone that can truly be by your side to support you in making the right decisions? If yes, we may be the right fit for you.
Sounding board
Ever wanted someone that you can check-in with to see if you are on track or making the right financial decision? We provide you with that support that you wish you had, instead of making decisions influenced by âfear-basedâ news, âyou do not have enoughâ ads, or chats with friends over BBQ.
Alignment between money and life
Thereâs no point earning or having lots of money in a life that you do not value or enjoy. We help you explore the right alignment and balance for you.
Wealth coaching - explore, educate & empower
A tailored 1:1 Wealth Coaching program that allows you to explore what wealth creation could be like for you at your own pace. We meet you where you are at.
Wealth to our clients is more than just money. It encompasses growth in your well-being and clarity in life too.
Wealth Coaching is a truly empowering process and is suitable for anyone ready to explore a different way of managing money and growing wealth.

We give you the confidence to take control of your life and write the next chapter in your story
We work with professionals and business owners who are planning to be financially independent within the next 10 years (pre-retirement planning).
We continue to work with those people throughout their retirement. We deliver goals-based advice which incorporates coaching/behaviour management in relation to finances. Importantly we help clients work out what they want in retirement and why. Methods of communication are varied, depending on personal preferences.
A core value of our service offering is building on nurturing and personal relationships. We advise a growing number of clients who could be regarded as the âfamily key-personâ (every family has the âgo-toâ person for financial and life advice). We find these people are responsible, smart, conscientious but time poor and often need assistance dealing with the family affairs.
Another strong cohort of our clients are suddenly single women. Once again they are, smart, independently minded, busy with family (parents or children â or both) but finding themselves in a world of finance that is foreign to them.
We provide sound advice and guidance, combined with compassion and understanding to get them on their feet again with the confidence to manage their finances.
As highly qualified and experienced Financial Planners, we never take a cookie-cutter approach. We know that a custom designed financial plan is different for everyone.
We donât have a cookie-cutter approach to your financial management either, we have a process. We look at your unique circumstances (including your age, income, assets, and aspirations) and apply our proven financial matrix.
This will help to develop a strategy that meets your goals and ensures your future no matter what the government or the economy may do.
We know some clients want to choose a financial planner they trust, and hand everything over. Other clients want to be consulted or at least advised at every step.
You can be as involved in the process as you choose to be, but we always think itâs important for our clients to understand at a big picture level.
Why we give the recommendations we give
How that will help you achieve your outcomes, even if you donât want to know the specifics.
What we actually do:
Our experienced team provide comprehensive professional assistance with your financial strategy. Also ongoing asset management, and other aspects of wealth creation and protection including.
- Pre-retirement
- Financial Structure and Planning
- Ensuring a Comfortable Income During Retirement
- Superannuation and Estate Planning.
Aged Care Advice
For most of our clients, financial planning is far more than simply planning for a comfortable retirement, and taking care of their family.
Itâs about enjoying life today, creating experiences, and having confidence that tomorrow will be even better.
At Story Wealth Management we have the credentials, experience, support and an impressive string of awards to prove that we deliver the results!
What our clients say
âOver many years those who sought to advise me regarding my finances invariably tried to impose those ideas which appealed to them. Anne was recommended to me by my accountant and when I first saw her went to considerable lengths to establish what it was that I was seeking for my future, including in many areas which it had not occurred to me to consider, and then provided the advice to achieve that goal.
As a consequence I retired last year in circumstances which I would never have achieved without her guidance. She was the only person who took the trouble to find out what was was important to me ad then to help me achieve that."
- Trevor
âBefore walking through the door of Story Wealth Management, I was feeling completely overwhelmed. After a recent separation and with my financial settlement pending, I was faced with some big decisions about the next steps, regarding my financial future. Having limited knowledge and experience in this area, it was reassuring to have Anne Graham and her wonderful team talk me through the various options in such a way that gave me confidence to be able to make informed choices about which way to go.
It was very helpful to have a kind and sensitive team, who not only listened to me and assessed my needs and concerns, but have developed a financial plan for me, that will ensure my financial security up to retirement age and beyond.
I cannot recommend âStory Wealth Managementâ highly enough, for their expertise and attention to detail.
I have valued their input and guidance enormously, and am looking forward to an ongoing relationship with them.â
- Rosemary
âMy wife Rita and I came to Story Wealth financial planning for advice as they had come highly recommended by our accountant (who is also a client). The first thing I noticed when I came to their offices was the number of awards Anne Graham had won as a financial planner. As we met with Anne and her team over a series of meetings, I came to understand why she had won these awards. We found Anne to be very warm and friendly but also highly professional and able to help us navigate our way through our many wishes and desires for our financial future.
The final report they produced for us was very detailed but easy to read and digest and contained a wealth of knowledge to help us properly plan for our future. Overall we were very happy with our experience and plan to have them advise us on our financial future going forwardâ

His genuine passion for property and building wealth for clients using this popular asset class is what sets him apart as the go to guy for your next property purchase.
Adam is not the typical property provider keen to âsellâ you investment grade property from a pre-selected stock list. He is a Buyers Agent, who places the responsibility of finding your next property onto yourself.

He most enjoys assisting his clients to negotiate the deal and to be armed with knowledge on how to be better equipped to play the property game.
The best part is that he is also a Financial Planner and he works more like a planner than a real estate agent would. He has acquired a wealth of knowledge through finance that sets him well above the pack in terms of his professionalism and can guide you on all the relevant aspects of your plan around the property purchase.
After property selections have been made and agreed on, the real value comes from Adamâs negotiating and auction bidding skills. He has won many deals for clients over the years and he enjoys nothing more than having successful outcomes for his clients. He is very personable yet tough in negotiating and youâll see how valuable it an be to have someone like this on your side.
Here is how Adam can help you
Create your search criteria and prioritise the key attributes that your property must have.
Formulate a shortlist of properties to consider. Provide analysis and genuine honest feedback on each property. Negotiate the deal on your behalf. Bid at auction on your behalf. Protect your asset with a tailored personal insurance plan.
If you donât have finance organised, Adam works closely with mortgage brokers who can also help saving you time and energy along the way, without the need to go into a bank. Adamâs other passion is insurance. He has specialised in securing clientsâ wealth through tailored risk insurance packages for many years. Significant life events like buying a property or giving birth are crucial times you should consider reviewing your life insurance and income protection plans.

What our clients say
We first met Matt approximately 6 years ago when he was working at nab financial planning. We were thinking about our retirement and had some concerns as to whether we would have enough money to retire. From the beginning we felt very comfortable with Matt. He is genuine, trustworthy and sets realistic and achievable expectations.
We had worked hard all our lives and wanted to capitalise on our hard work. Whilst we were in a good financial position, we desperately needed to put in place a plan so that we could achieve our goals and live a comfortable lifestyle in retirement. In addition, Ken wanted to reduce the number of hours he was working which would also impact our income and financial position.
With all this in mind Matt put together a realistic retirement plan and has assisted us to execute it over the past 6 years. I am pleased to say that Matt has delivered on the expectations he set at the beginning and we have achieved all of our goals and more. Thanks to Matt we can look forward to a happy and stress free retirement. We have no trouble recommending Matt to our friends and family.
- June and Ken Coulson
We chose Matt because he is old enough to know what he is doing but young enough to be energised and around for the duration of our retirement. Matt demonstrated the capacity to really listen to our goals (and our anxieties!) and was able to put in place a plan that provided us with clarity and peace of mind. We have no hesitation in recommending Matt to those planning for retirement or wanting to review their retirement plans.
- Bob and Gwenda Miller
I approached Matt Hempel nearly 10 years ago to obtain a path for my financial future and ultimately a comfortable retirement. Matt helped me by providing me with options for the short and long term and put me at ease with my financial position. The results obtained have been above my expectations and one thing I liked was the regular contact and reviews to update me to ensure that I was on course and making adjustments to my plan as required. The whole experience has provided me with confidence about my financial future and the professionalism displayed during our association to be of a high standard. I would recommend Matt to people who need to "Retire on Track.
