Nick Donato

Financial Planner

Nick Donato specialises in helping clients in their 30s and 40s get their financial foundations properly set up, so they can build wealth with confidence. 

Since beginning his career in 2016, Nick has built experience across financial services and now works with clients during one of the most important stages of their financial lives; their peak earning years.  

Through Guidance’s Wealth Builder program, Nick helps clients work through the big questions. Should we invest more or pay down the mortgage? Is our super doing enough? Are we protected if something goes wrong? Are we actually building wealth, or just earning and spending? 

Nick’s strength is turning financial decisions into a clear strategy, helping clients see what to prioritise now and how each decision supports the future they are building. 

He also hosts the Wealth Builder episodes on the Financial Autonomy podcast every fortnight, where he interviews industry experts on the topics that matter most when you’re building wealth, from investing and property to cash flow, superannuation, debt, insurance and making smarter decisions for the future. 

Outside work, Nick is usually chasing after his two young sons or cheering on the Bombers and the Celtics.
