MiQ Team

David Jacometti, Principal & Financial Adviser

As a Financial Adviser I provide objective-based financial advice that is driven by my client's needs. I believe in my clients and strive to understand what’s important to them and their families, develop long term plans for a wealthier and more fulfilled life, and respond to changes to make sure that their vision for their future comes to pass. I have worked in the financial planning industry since 2011, in private banking, accounting, and financial advice businesses. I am married with two children, live on the Gold Coast, and love spending time with my family.

Rebecca Miller, Financial Adviser

As a Financial Adviser, I most enjoy helping our clients to discover what they really want from their financial future and then working with them to achieve this. I have been working within the financial planning profession since 2001, with more than seven years as a Financial Planner.

In my personal time I enjoy spending time with my partner and 2 young children William and Stella. We especially like taking regular mini trips to the country and enjoy visiting new places while catching up with friends and family.

Michael Jones, Financial Adviser

I began working in the financial services industry in 2016 before moving into a Financial Adviser role in 2018. As a Financial Adviser, I have worked with many clients to identify a broad range of goals and objectives. This experience has helped me develop comprehensive, personalised, and tailored financial plans for clients to achieve their desired objectives. I believe that seeing a Financial Adviser is not just about numbers, it is about having a plan and encouraging people to stick with the plan, to achieve the results that they are looking for.

Dan Crisp, Patron

After 40 years, I have retired from providing financial advice. During that time, financial coaching and educating my clients has been the most rewarding experience of my career. The ultimate compliment a client can give you is to refer you to a family member and assist them with their inter-generational wealth shift. I sincerely enjoyed making a contribution to my client's financial destiny in growing and protecting their wealth. My family remains my passion, with 3 children and a beautiful wife. We enjoy visiting our hobby block where we try our hand at making olive oil. We have educated our clients about lifestyle choices, so we practice what we preach and take the opportunity when it arises to enjoy the beach. We all love surfing and fishing and exploring our vast coastline – and now being retired, we can do it all some more! Rotary has been part of my life for 23 years providing service to the community. In my current role as Assistant District Governor, I enjoy coaching and motivating other Rotarians to fulfil the moto of Rotary "Service above Self". As an avid Carlton fan, I look forward to the next flag, but have been advised that I might be waiting a while. As I am retired and have surrendered my Authority to ASIC, I am no longer able to provide personal financial advice. The great team at Geraldton (Luke & Mel) will continue however to provide awesome advice and exceptional client service.

Andrew Geddes, Patron

After providing financial advice to so many clients over 20+ years, if have decided to retire from the profession and MiQ. I remain as a Partner of MiQ and know that all of my customers will continue to be looked after by dedicated and highly trained number of advisers within the organisation. I wish each and everyone of them all the very best. In my retirement I will have more time to enjoy my lifelong passion for reading, Collingwood Football Club and AFL football.
