Portrait of Brad Laird, Onside Advisory

Brad Laird

Financial Adviser & Director

I became a financial adviser because of what wasn't taught to me.

I remember sitting through one financial maths class in high school, and that was it. No lessons on investing, managing taxes, or building wealth. That gap sparked a personal curiosity that quickly turned into a career. The more I learned about money and investing, the more I wanted to share with others.

After completing my Bachelor of Business majoring in Financial Planning at RMIT, I spent over three years as a qualified adviser. During that time, I realised that while many people have the drive to build wealth, they often lack a coordinated plan to make it happen.

That's why I started Onside Advisory. To give people the kind of guidance I wish existed earlier.

Tristan Scifo

Financial Adviser & General Manager

I'm a financial adviser & business coach with 13+ years of experience as an adviser and 8 years as a business & life coach who's on a mission to build strong & loving families, raising thriving kids.

I grew up in a loving home, but lacked the knowledge and skill to create financial or business success. Like so many, I lacked a healthy example of leadership and began doing things my own broken way. My life's been transformed by various personal mentors, and inspiring role models I've studied (including Tony Robbins, Warren Buffet, Richard Branson, Daniel Priestley, Patrick Bet-David).

I now draw from my own healing experience to equip clients and partners with practical & emotional skills to build a great life.
