Meet Justin Hooper
- Your Lifestyle Financial Planner
Though he’s always had a head for numbers, Justin’s true passion is people. Seeing a clear gap in the market for reliable financial advice and guidance for professional individuals wanting to learn how to live the life they wanted free of financial constraints, Justin began Lifestyle Led Wealth.
But Justin never just wanted to be an everyday Financial Planner—he goes above and beyond. He achieved the highest educational designation of professional competency required, gaining the title of Fellow Chartered Financial Practitioner (FChFP) awarded by the Asia Pacific Financial Services Association.
Having studied abroad during his bachelor’s degree in finance, Justin’s passion for travel was ignited. His dream destinations? Portugal, Spain, France and Italy – or spend extended periods in Asia to really experience the lifestyle and the surf!
Outside of the office, Justin, his wife Abby, and their child love to spend time with family and friends, travelling, dining out and walking their cavoodle, Molly.
