About Us:

Plannnigwerx4u is operated by small business owner Tarnia Gurney. Tarnia owns Gurney Financial Services, which is a financial planning business on the NSW Central Coast — servicing the local community, small business, as well as clientele in greater NSW and QLD.

When Tarnia set up her own financial planning business she had to go out and research and collect information from everywhere. She understands what it takes to build a business from the ground up. One of the issues that Tarnia discovered was that SBO’s were lacking the direction and support they needed to be financially successful. She found that getting out there and getting noticed was the hardest, but also the best. Tarnia met other small business owners through local networking groups. This has taken time, but it has been the best form of advertising around. Using her networking skills, Tarnia has developed a referral system with other small business owners who are willing to assist others.

Planningwerx4u owner and director, Tarnia Gurney has a Certificate in Management, Various Customer Service and Training Certificates aswell as Diploma's in Financial Planning. She has 7 years of experience in Customer Service in the Retail sector, 14 years experience in Customer Service and Management in the Financial Services industry as well as 5 years as a Financial Planner and Coach.

Tarnia looks forward to assisting others starting up their small business and developing into their full potential. Planningwerx4u are a local business who assists other local businesses in developing to their full potential
