CHRIS BAILIE - CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER®

Growing up with three brothers taught me early that success is never passive—it demands action, adaptability, and resilience. Healthy competition at home, paired with our parents’ unwavering emphasis on discipline, shaped my outlook from a young age. I was taught that hard work is most meaningful when guided by purpose, a principle that continues to shape my approach today. Family remains my greatest priority and the foundation of everything I do.

For the past 15 years, running my own business has been both rewarding and challenging. It required unwavering commitment to succeed, yet it also gave me the privilege of maintaining a healthy work-life balance and being present during my children’s formative years.

After a decade at the helm of Financial Footprint, joining HPH Solutions feels like a natural next step—one that aligns perfectly with my values. I’ve been privileged to guide clients through significant life and market changes, and I’m excited to contribute to a firm that prioritises collective wisdom and a strong, supportive culture.

Outside of work, my wife and I have two teenage boys who keep us on our toes. With Mum still living in Busselton, I have a deep affection for the Southwest. As a family, we value experiences over extravagance, preferring camping and exploring together rather than resort-style holidays. Beyond family life, I enjoy music, playing hockey, open-water swimming, and long walks along the beach. Appreciating life’s simple pleasures brings me true contentment.
