Daniel Brown

With more than 20 years of experience in the finance industry, Daniel combines deep expertise with a genuine passion for transforming how Australians experience financial advice. In 2016, he founded Coastal Advice Group in Newcastle with a vision to build something different, an advice business that puts people first and delivers long-term success for clients.

Since foundation, Daniel has guided Coastal from a local practice into one of Australia’s leading financial advice businesses, now operating across four states. As CEO and Chairman of the Board, he focuses on setting the strategic direction of the business and empowering his team with the leadership, tools, and support they need to thrive. Under his guidance, Coastal has earned a reputation for nurturing highly skilled, respected professionals who are committed to client-centric advice and building trusted, lasting relationships.

At the heart of Daniel’s leadership is a strong belief in culture. He ensures Coastal stays true to its values putting clients first, speaking the truth with integrity, and challenging limiting beliefs all the while continuing to help more Australians achieve financial freedom through great advice.

Outside of work, Daniel is a dedicated family man, most often found on the sidelines cheering on his kids at weekend sport. He’s an avid reader, partial to a good Pinot, and a loyal (and often long-suffering) supporter of the Parramatta Eels NRL Franchise.
