Our Story
Why We Started Sheridans Private Wealth
Sheridans Private Wealth was established with a single, unwavering conviction: that every Australian deserves access to the kind of thoughtful, personalised financial guidance that was once the exclusive domain of the ultra-wealthy.
Formed from the merger of 2 leading Financial Planning firms in Adelaide, we have grown from a boutique advisory practice into a team of four highly credentialled advisers with clients throughout Australia. Throughout our growth, we have never lost sight of what matters most — the people we serve.
Our clients range from pre-retirees planning their next chapter, to business owners navigating complex succession decisions, to young professionals building a strong financial foundation for their families. Regardless of where they are in their financial journey, every client receives the same level of care and rigour.
Our Philosophy
The Principles That Guide Everything We Do
Our approach is grounded in honesty, evidence, and a genuine commitment to your financial wellbeing — not commissions or short-term thinking.
Client-First Always
We are legally and ethically obligated to act in your best interests at all times — full stop. Every recommendation we make is driven solely by what is right for you, never by what is most profitable for us.
Evidence-Based Advice
We do not chase trends or make predictions. Our investment philosophy is grounded in decades of academic research, focusing on long-term outcomes over short-term noise.
Holistic & Personalised
We look at your whole financial picture — your goals, your family, your tax position, and your values — before making a single recommendation. No cookie-cutter solutions here.
