ABOUT
Moving forward.
Moved to act.
Our story: Built on a belief about how advice should feel.
Rachel Steigenberger and Leanne Camilleri had each spent years inside the financial advice industry before they built Inspirit together. Between them they’d seen a great deal of good strategy — and watched too much of it delivered in a way that left people no clearer, and no more certain, than when they walked in.
They knew it could be done differently; that the technical skill and the human approach could and should be more connected — that financial advice only does its job when the person receiving it genuinely understands it, believes in it, and feels ready to move forward.
Two advisers, and the practice behind them
Rachel and Leanne lead every client relationship personally. You’ll always know who’s advising you, and they’ll always know your story.
Behind them sits a dedicated team of administrators and researchers making sure research is clear, detail is checked, and everything happens smoothly.
Rachel Steigenberger | Practice Principal
With more than a decade advising, Rachel has helped hundreds of clients make sense of the complexities of their financial lives. She has a real talent for making complicated things simple, and genuinely enjoys the part most people find daunting — understanding exactly what makes each person’s situation their own.
Fifteen years across accounting, practice management and advice have given Leanne unusual technical range — and a clear view of what she thinks advice should be. She believes people are empowered by genuine care and real education, not just a strategy, and she builds every client relationship around that.
Client experience team
Nadene Whittome | Client Engagement Officer
Nadene has a background in human resources, business consulting and for the last several years financial planning. She loves being part of the client engagement team as her role is all about helping people which is what she enjoys the most. Travel has been a big part of her life, with family scattered all over the world, but she’s now loving being back in Brisbane.
Sharon is usually the first person you’ll speak with, and decades of experience mean she’s very good at making people feel genuinely welcome. She makes sure clients stay informed and supported at every point along the way.
Four things we hold onto
Financial Advice is only as good as the understanding it creates
A brilliant strategy you don’t fully grasp isn’t a brilliant strategy. It’s a document. We work in plain language, at your pace, for as long as it takes.
Honesty is the proof of care
We’d rather tell you something difficult than something comfortable. That means being open about what’s possible, what isn’t, and what it will cost — from the very first meeting, before you’ve committed to anything.
Advice that moves you to act.
We can’t walk your path for you, and we wouldn’t want to. What we can do is make sure you know exactly where it leads, and empower you to move forward.
Relationships aren’t a service. They’re the whole point.
The advice matters most in the years after it’s given — when things change, when questions come up, when a decision needs making. That’s when you’ll be glad someone knows your story.
Our Foundation
Inspirit grew from the practice Kath Orman founded (formerly named “Goals & Dreams Financial Planning”) and led for more than two decades — a community of clients built on relationships rather than transactions. When the time came for Kath to step into her own next chapter, she chose Rachel and Leanne to carry it forward. Kath remains part of the story, and the care she built into this practice is the same care you’ll find in it today.
Our Approach
01 —
We start by listening
The first meeting isn’t a sales pitch. It’s how we understand what’s brought you in, what you’re working toward, and what’s been quietly keeping you up at night. It’s also how we both work out, honestly, whether we’re the right fit.
02 —
We show you what’s possible
Not the finished plan — the thinking behind it. A clear picture of where you stand today, and a direction for where you could be. You’ll know what our advice will cost before you commit to anything, and you’ll never feel pressed to proceed.
03 —
We make sure it lands
Your strategy is presented in person, with care. We walk through it together, in plain language, and we keep going until it makes sense.
04 —
We stay with you
Life changes, and good advice changes with it. We’re here for the decisions that come next — reviewing, adjusting, and picking up the phone whenever something needs thinking through.
INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY
The risk most people overlook.
Investing conversations usually begin with market risk. We start somewhere else — with the risk of reaching the end of your working life and realising you didn’t do the things you meant to do — regret risk.
The money was never the point. The travel, the home, the years spent how you choose: that’s the point, and investing is simply how it gets funded.
So we build around a single question: what’s the least risk we need to take to get you there? The rest follows from that. It starts with understanding your situation properly, then partnering with quality investment professionals to build and manage your allocation — always weighing the relationship between risk and return, and always with ongoing costs and fees in the frame.
Let’s see if we’re a fit.
You’ll leave the first meeting knowing exactly where you stand and how we can help move you forward.
