Stacey Coombes
Co-Founder, Client Services & Paraplanning – Vista Financial Services
Stacey co-founded Vista Financial Services in 2009 and has been instrumental in its growth and success ever since. With a background in law in both the UK and Australia, she brings a meticulous, client-first approach to her role across paraplanning, compliance and business operations.
Working closely with Andrew from the outset, Stacey helps ensure the smooth delivery of financial advice — preparing advice documents, supporting strategic implementation, and contributing to the ongoing development of Vista’s service model.
Stacey now focuses primarily on supporting Andrew with paraplanning and business operations but continues to play an important behind-the-scenes role in the delivery of advice and maintaining Vista’s high standards. While we have dedicated client service officers to assist with day-to-day queries, Stacey remains closely involved in ensuring everything runs smoothly across the practice.
