About Provenance Advice.

Provenance’s advisory relationships are deeply personal, and earning trust by doing is fundamental to our service and the success of our clients. By remaining boutique, every client benefits from direct, thoughtful advice from Paul Banner, the sole practitioner at Provenance Advice, ensuring care, attention, and continuity. It is because of our approach, Provenance Advice is a small advisory by design.

Provenance Advice partners with individuals and families who value trust, integrity, and personalised financial guidance. Every financial strategy is carefully crafted to suit each client’s unique circumstances — appropriate, bespoke, and always designed to maximise benefit to them and their family, both now and across generations.

We take seriously the trust placed in us by our clients. Taking the time to work closely with each client is paramount. Listening carefully, understanding their family’s unique story, and tailoring advice that reflects what matters most ensures every client feels supported and well cared for throughout their financial journey.

Paul Banner Principal
Provenance Advice.

Paul founded Provenance Advice in 2007 after a career in corporate roles across investment banking, broking, funds management and financial planning. During his corporate years, he witnessed first-hand the industrial approach to financial advice, which often lacked genuine personal connection.

In contrast, Paul believes quality financial advice is best delivered through a close, personal relationship. Every strategy should be individually crafted, tailored to each client’s circumstances, and adapted over time as life and the world change. It’s this proactive, thoughtful approach that cultivates successful clients outcomes.

Clients benefit from Paul’s technical expertise, enthusiasm and genuine advocacy for their long-term well-being and advancement — and that of their families. His advice is always personal, high-quality and built on trust and enduring relationships.

  • Responsible Manager – Provenance Financial Services Pty Ltd Australian Financial Services #545056
  • Member of the Financial Advisers Association of Australia (formerly FPA)

Personally, Paul has been married for over 22 years and, together with his wife, is raising their three teenage boys. Watching them grow into young men is a profound source of satisfaction. Outside of family life, Paul enjoys the outdoors — fishing, boating, bushwalking — and embraces adventure and travel whenever time permits.
