Grant Hodgins

Grant was practically born into financial services and it shows. With a career spanning over 40 years, he eats, sleeps and breathes all things financial planning. His coaching style is sharp, empathetic and solutions-focused, with an ability to “read the play” and craft tailored strategies that help clients achieve long-term financial success.

Grant joined Carbon in 2025 following the successful partnership with Advantage One Financial Services, where he had been a key leader since 1995. After starting in a para-planning and client support role, he quickly progressed to become a Director and business owner. Over the years, he’s supported individuals, families and business owners across Adelaide and beyond with wealth-building strategies and personalised advice. His career began in banking, where he developed strong written and verbal communication skills while learning the fundamentals of finance, customer service and money management. He then gained experience across superannuation and investment firms, specialising in corporate super, personal investments and client support, giving him a solid technical foundation in retirement planning and tax-effective strategy.

Grant is known for his gift of the gab and his ability to make complex financial matters easy to understand. He builds strong, lasting relationships by listening closely, leaving no stone unturned, and delivering clear, practical advice. His coaching style blends deep technical know-how with a warm, straight-talking delivery that puts clients at ease. Rather than telling clients what to do, Grant coaches them; educating, strategising and planning together to create financial roadmaps that are clear and achievable. Whether you’re growing wealth, protecting your family or preparing for aged care, he ensures you’re supported every step of the way.
