Cameron Forbes

Senior Financial planner & CEO

B.Comm (Financial Planning, Finance & Economics) CFP®

I am a Certified Financial Planner® and have completed a Bachelor of Commerce majoring in Financial Planning. I have achieved the highest designation in financial planning, and the highest ethical standards, which sets CFP® professionals apart from the rest.

I continue to undertake further study and professional development demonstrating my commitment to my clients and my profession. It goes without saying that I am passionate and committed to helping clients achieve their financial outcomes.

Sometimes people ask what difference a financial planner makes. I like to use the analogy of a personal trainer vs. a gym membership. You’ll get something out of your gym membership (provided you actually use it), but a personal trainer will help you achieve your goals much faster, with less worry and risk.

In the same way, when you work with a Certified Financial Planner® you don’t just see progress in your financial affairs, you see yourself steadily moving from milestone to milestone as your goal comes ever closer.

“It’s common to put off making investment and financial planning decisions, but you need to take control”…Cameron Forbes

Michael Fava

Senior Financial Planner

B.BUS (ACC), DIP FP, CFP®,

I have worked in the financial services industry since 1992, and have experience in several areas including personal lending, commercial lending and financial planning. 

I’ve been a financial planner since 1999 and my role at NAB Financial Planning as a Financial Planner and Senior Financial Planner spanned 12 years. 

In 2012 I founded Fava Financial Planning in Melbourne’s western suburbs, which in 2021 was acquired and became a part of the Forbes Fava Financial Planning group.

I hold a Bachelor of Business (Accounting) degree, and a Diploma of Financial Planning (DFP), a leading education course of study for Financial Advisers.  I’ve also achieved the globally recognized Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) designation and I am member of the Financial Planning Association of Australia (FPA).

I am based at our Fraser Rise office, in Melbourne’s North/West. 

In my spare time enjoy my sport fishing and playing the saxophone in our community brass band.

James Kennedy

Senior Financial planner

B.Comm (Financial Planning, Finance & Economics) CFP®

I am a Certified Financial Planner® and have completed a Bachelor of Commerce majoring in Financial Planning.

I have achieved the highest designation in financial planning, and the highest ethical standards, which sets CFP® professionals apart from the rest.

Most people underestimate the potential of their ability to grow their assets through careful investment and wise budgeting.

At Forbes Fava Financial Planning, we work with clients to help them manage all aspects of their financial matters so that they can achieve both life and financial goals. After all, money is not an end in itself, it is a means to do the things you really value.

We enable everyday Australians to pay off their debts sooner, fund their retirement plans and insure what’s most important to them. We start with an understanding of what motivates you and the hopes you have for the future. Then we can work with you to set you on a path for ongoing success, there are no quick fixes!

I am focused on building a sustainable and comprehensive service for my clients to give them the ongoing advice they can trust.
