Who we are
We go beyond traditional financial planning, combining expert strategy with emotional intelligence (EQ) to ensure your financial decisions are not just logical, but personally meaningful.
Personalised financial planning, made simple
At Eqeus, financial planning isn’t just about numbers, it’s about people. Behind every financial decision is a goal, a fear, a legacy, or a vision. That’s why we lead with emotional intelligence (EQ), combining structure and strategy with a deep understanding of what matters most to you.
Founded by John Hollyman, one of Sydney’s most respected financial planners, Eqeus was built to challenge the one-size-fits-all approach to advice. With more than 20 years of experience, John has helped professionals, business owners, and families turn financial complexity into meaningful direction, creating plans that work not just on paper, but in real life.
We act as your strategic partner through the full spectrum of financial life: from discovering wealth to protecting it, navigating transitions, and planning ahead. And when the unexpected happens, you’ve got a steady, informed team in your corner ready to help.
At Eqeus, we don’t just discover wealth. We help you make decisions that feel right, and move you forward.
