Michael Kolatchew.

DipFS (FP), BBus, MFinPlan

With over two decades of experience in the financial services industry, Mike brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to his clients. His career spans roles as a financial adviser, property buyers’ advocate, and development analyst, providing him with a comprehensive understanding of the financial landscape.

Mike began his professional journey on Brisbane’s Northside as a property searcher and paraplanner for a financial planning firm. During this time, he identified critical gaps and opportunities that could significantly enhance clients’ financial outcomes. This early experience shaped his belief that financial advice is not reserved for the wealthy—it is essential for anyone seeking long-term financial security.

“The foundation of any successful financial plan is a clear, strategic approach. It’s not about the size of your current asset base; it’s about using the resources you have effectively to achieve your goals. My role is to understand where you want to be and create the roadmap to get you there.”

At Neon Wealth, Mike and the team provide tailored solutions designed to simplify and optimise clients’ financial lives. From locating lost superannuation and reviewing insurance policies to assessing home loans and other financial products, their focus is on aligning every element with clients’ lifestyles, careers, and long-term objectives.

“Over time, I’ve learned that regardless of your background or the journey you’ve taken, there are always opportunities to improve and create efficiencies in your financial life.

While financial advice is widely available online, the sheer volume of information can make it overwhelming to know which path to take—and even more challenging to put a strategy into action. That’s where I come in. My role is to bring clarity, structure, and guidance, helping you turn ideas into results. I take great pride in providing meaningful advice and building lasting relationships with clients—many of whom are friends, family, and trusted referrals.”
