Mark Rando is a financial adviser with over 20 years of experience helping clients bring structure and clarity to their financial lives. Throughout his career, he has been recognised as a three-time finalist for the AFA Adviser of the Year awards — an acknowledgment that reflects his dedication to building meaningful relationships and delivering practical, strategic advice that genuinely makes a difference.

Before entering financial planning, Mark began his professional journey as a schoolteacher, having completed a Bachelor of Education (B.Ed). Encouraged by a friend to pursue his passion for helping others achieve financial security, he took a leap of faith, returned to study, and transitioned into financial planning. Those early days — working from an unfinished house, sitting on a milk crate with a phone plugged into the wall — taught him the value of perseverance, integrity, and purpose in building long-term success.

After 20 years in business, Mark amalgamated Rando & Associates with Hillross Financial Planning, creating the new venture, Rando Reedbuck Financial Advisers. Today, he focuses on helping clients simplify complexity, make confident decisions, and create strategies tailored to their goals. Whether it’s planning for retirement, protecting family wealth, or structuring investments, Mark sees his role as helping clients “unchaos the chaos.”

Mark holds a Bachelor of Education (B.Ed), Advanced Diploma of Financial Planning (Adv Dip FP), Graduate Diploma of Financial Planning (Grad Dip FP), and is a Fellow Chartered Financial Practitioner (FChFP). He remains committed to ongoing professional development to ensure his advice stays current and effective. In addition, he volunteers as a Justice of the Peace, supporting his local community whenever he can.
