Our Team

Brent O'Byrne

Director

I joined Geographe Financial Group as a financial planner in 2016 and now serve as a joint Director of the practice. With 10 years of experience in financial advice, I continue to be passionate about helping clients achieve meaningful outcomes through tailored financial strategies. Having grown up in Busselton, I returned from Perth with my wife and our three boys to embrace the Southwest lifestyle. I’m grateful that my children can enjoy the same community spirit and lifestyle I did growing up.

My career began as a physiotherapist, where I found great satisfaction in helping people achieve positive outcomes a passion I’ve carried into financial planning. I work closely with a team of advisers with over 100 years of combined experience, supported by a dedicated staff, to deliver quality advice aligned with our clients’ goals.

Outside of work, I’m actively involved in the local Busselton community. I’ve served on committees including Saints Junior Football Club (JFC), the Busselton and Districts Junior Football Association (BDJFA), and the Advisory Council Board at Mary Mackillop College. I also enjoy coaching junior sports and supporting youth development through active participation with my own kid's sports. I’m passionate about sports, particularly AFL, and enjoy staying active while soaking in the beautiful surroundings of Geographe Bay.

Sean Spencer

Director

With over three decades of experience in financial services in Australia and the UK, I’m dedicated to helping clients achieve financial clarity and peace of mind. Since making Bunbury my home in 1996, I’ve built lasting relationships by offering honest, practical advice tailored to individual’s needs. My journey includes roles in major financial institutions, running my own business, and ultimately merging with Geographe Financial Group and am committed to providing robust, client-focused solutions and advice.

Taking on the role of joint Director at Geographe Financial Group has allowed me to bring even more comprehensive service and stability to our clients, backed by a team that shares my values of integrity and professionalism. I’m passionate about guiding people through life’s financial decisions, no matter how complex, and believe that personalised advice can make a genuine difference.

Beyond my professional life, you’ll often find me outdoors keeping active, camping, or connecting with friends and family. I take pride in being part of the Southwest’s vibrant community and cherish the opportunity to contribute both in my work and personal life.

Craig Gibson

I have been working in the financial planning industry since 1986, advising clients for over 39 years, on a vast array of financial planning and risk protection strategies. I am passionate about working with people who have a dream for a better and richer life.

I bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to the business overall and believe that the advice relationship brings greater certainty to our clients’ financial lives and the best possible chance of achieving the financial outcomes important to them. I work closely with a team of advisors within our business with over 100 years of experience between us, along with excellent support staff, to assist in providing to you, quality advice tailored to meet your specific needs and objectives.

I am married with 2 children and enjoy being an active member of our local community.

I was awarded the 2017 State Adviser of the Year Award from Charter Financial Planning (Charter), in recognition of the value and service overall I provide to clients. With over 700 advisers in our network at the time, I consider it a significant achievement and honour to have won this award for something I do every day. It recognises the real difference financial advice can make to clients.

I have as much passion for the Financial Advice industry today as I did then.

Anton Mann

I have been working with Geographe Financial Group as a Financial Advisor since 2010. I have lived in the Busselton area since the early nineties after moving here from another regional area. Our children have been lucky enough to grow up here in the Southwest. I love our Southwest lifestyle and have interests in boating, fishing, diving, camping, football, running and sailing. I am currently the Commodore of the Geographe Bay Yacht Club and honoured to be a Life Member of our local Apex Club.

I thoroughly enjoy the relationship with my clients and especially enjoy advising, assisting and guiding my clients in achieving their goals and objectives. At Geographe Financial Group, we work side by side with our clients to navigate their financial life planning. With a foundation built on perspective, honesty, and understanding, we offer more than just advice, we offer partnership. I see my role as your financial co-pilot: the person who keeps an eye out for you along the way, helping you stay on course toward your goals. Together with our dedicated team of advisors and support staff, we provide tailored, high-quality advice designed to give you clarity, confidence, and the best possible chance of achieving your financial aspirations.

Robbie Lorrimar

I joined Geographe Financial Group in 2020 when my wife and I were looking to re-locate back home to the South West. I grew up on a small farm near Bunbury, before moving to Perth to study and ultimately, begin my career in financial advice. In the city I completed a Bachelor of Commerce majoring in Finance and Accounting, before starting my career in 2015. Since then, I have also completed a Graduate Diploma of Financial Planning and gained valuable experience from different mentors along the way.

I chose to work in Financial Advice because I wanted a career incorporating my interest in finance combined with the satisfaction of changing people’s lives for the better. My favourite part about my role is the personal, longstanding connections we make with our clients.

I like to spend my spare time on the family farm, keeping a keen interest in WA agriculture. I also enjoy sport, spending the rest of my time running, cycling and playing cricket.
