He has participated in their annual Ride for Youth event four times, where participants cycle 700km from Albany to Perth. In those four years the total amount of funds raised was over $8,000,000 allowing the youth of Western Australia to access this unlimited service free of charge.
Matthew is happily married to Jules and together they have four beautiful adult daughters who are all treading their own path.
Gordon Golokin
Financial Adviser (Provisional)
Background & Expertise
Gordon has been surrounded by financial advice his entire life, the early exposure built a natural curiosity about money, investing, and helping people make informed decisions — a curiosity that eventually led him into advice himself.
Having spent the past decade at Zephyr Wealth, Gordon has developed strong technical foundations across research, strategy development and the implementation work that ensures advice is delivered smoothly and accurately. Now transitioning further into an advice role, he is committed to building meaningful client relationships, understanding what truly matters to each individual, and guiding them through their financial journey with care and clarity.
Outside the office, Gordon enjoys golf and travelling — often planning his next overseas golf trip or exploring new destinations with his wife. He brings the same focus, discipline, and long-term thinking from golf into the way he supports clients in achieving their goals.
