Queensland Financial Group

Queensland Financial Group is a financial advisory and planning practice based in Brisbane that has operated since 1989. It is a multi-generational family business trading as Queensland Financial Group, with the legal entities behind the business being Buachailli Pty Ltd and Wolrah Holdings Pty Ltd. The business is a corporate authorised representative of Synchron for financial planning services. It serves engineering and IT professionals, small and medium sized enterprises, legal professionals, environmentally and socially conscious clients, medical professionals, and builders and tradespeople.

The business charges on a fee-for-service basis and does not take commissions or kickbacks from wealth or investment product providers. It provides financial planning, retirement savings consulting, and investment advising. Luke Harlow is a financial adviser at the firm. The firm's investment approach includes capital preservation, a quality investment approach with a value overlay, active and satellite investing, and diversification.

Clear, personalised guidance is the thread running through accounts from clients of this Brisbane practice, with Gene Harlow and Luke Harlow both named for making superannuation, insurance and investment options comprehensible. Clients describe advice that places their circumstances ahead of the adviser's commercial interest, including one account of a fee-for-service arrangement set out with complete transparency and costs actively trimmed. The longevity of these relationships stands out: one family cites more than twenty years of support that carried them through a serious health episode, into retirement and now extends to their adult children.

Another notes that regular meetings to revisit financial position and future strategy are simply part of the service. Recommendations are portrayed as thoroughly researched and shaped around individual situations, and meetings as consistently well prepared. The broader team draws warm words for being approachable and straightforward to converse with. The work covered spans financial planning, superannuation consulting, insurance coverage and investment management, delivered with patience and an openness to questions clients had not realised they needed to ask. Ethical conduct and objective advice are recurring themes.
