Hi, I'm Melinda
I’m passionate about empowering people to understand and trust their advice, so they can achieve their financial dreams
In my 25 years in financial services, 15 of them as a financial planner, I’ve seen it all. I know only too well how sound financial planning can transform lives. I also know how poor advice can rob hard-working people of the comfort and peace-of-mind that they need and deserve.
In my career as a financial planner, I saw so many people in distress. The most rewarding times for me were when I could see the relief on a client’s face at the realisation that they were back on track.
I felt that there needed to be a way for regular people to feel comfortable that their financial welfare was in the right hands. That’s why I founded Insider Out. It’s the only truly independent service that helps you to understand and trust your financial advice.
I don’t provide financial advice. I will advocate for you and provide the clarity you need to understand what your financial planner has told you.

I Helped Nick Achieve
Financial Security

Nick, age 30, had little to no knowledge of financial planning and investments. When he received a statement of advice from his advisor he was quite overwhelmed and had no idea if it was good or bad advice.
I helped Nick by bringing to his attention the potential concerns in the advice, but also educating him in the process about what it all means. This gave Nick the confidence he needed to amend the financial advice to a state where he was comfortable and had peace of mind.
