We are Kingdom Financial Group, we help people create, grow, and protect their wealth - both now and for the future. One of our biggest frustrations is seeing individuals spend a lifetime building wealth, only for the taxman/ system to take a significant portion of it. That’s why we’re on a mission to ensure our clients enjoy the benefits of their wealth now and in the future, while also creating a legacy for their children and generations to come.
This is why we see the importance of helping our clients with accounting, financial planning, and estate planning, all under one roof.
Our journey began with our founder and director, Ben Ellingsen, providing professional services in the Gympie and South Burnett regions since 1999 as a Tax Expert. With a Bachelor of Commerce (2005) and later a Diploma of Financial Planning, Ben took a leap in 2016, starting out on his own and founding Ellingsen Partners in a small house-turned-office on Rowe Street, Gympie.
That same year, Ben expanded into financial planning, acquiring Advice Partners and adding another office in Murgon. As our client base grew, so did our team - what started as a one-person operation has now grown into a team of 16 dedicated professionals. In January 2017, we moved to a larger Gympie office, making room for our expanding services.
On 1 July 2019, we embraced a new identity as Kingdom Financial Group, reflecting our commitment to providing holistic financial services.
Our latest milestone came in May 2024, when we proudly acquired Provision Wealth Management, expanding our reach with our Cooroy office.
As part of our commitment to ongoing professional development, Ben recently commenced his studies to obtain a Graduate Diploma in Financial Planning, ensuring we continue to offer expert, up-to-date financial guidance.
Through every step of this journey, we are grateful for our incredible clients - those who trust us with their tax and business advice, retirement planning, wealth accumulation, investment growth, and estate planning needs.
We love what we do, and we hope to partner with you to build your financial dream!
