Meet the staff – Declan Doolan

Declan is a financial planner from Select Advice Group whose Brisbane office is located within the Harris Black office.

Born in Rockhampton, Declan has been influenced by his family, particularly his father, who was a financial planner. This familial connection led him to his current career in financial planning.

When asked about his ideal meal, Declan didn’t hesitate to choose a “Halal Snack Pack.”

His culinary expertise is equally impressive, preparing dishes like sashimi, Italian sausage pasta, garlic bread, and indulgent espresso martinis. When it comes to sharing a meal with individuals, living or deceased, Declan creates a remarkable guest list: his Grandad, Steven Gerard, Jimi Hendrix, and Elon Musk.

Beyond his professional life, Declan is a man of many interests. He enjoys watching sports, camping, and traveling. While his hobbies vary, he holds a particular wish close to his heart – the return of mullets to fashion, a unique style choice that’s sure to turn heads. His practicality shines through as he decides on the three items he’d take to a deserted island: food, water, and a surfboard.

Speaking of dreams, Declan’s dream car is the luxurious 458 Ferrari. It’s a testament to his appreciation for fine craftsmanship and style. Looking forward to in the coming months, Declan has an exciting camping trip to Teewah Beach. For Declan, the most relaxing place he’s ever been is Byron Bay, a haven of serenity. If he could spend all his time in one place, it would unquestionably be the beach.

Declan has a unique skill set that extends beyond finance. He could confidently deliver a 40-minute presentation on Liverpool FC, showcasing his passion for the sport and the team. As for witnessing a historical event, Declan would transport himself to the iconic 2005 Champions League Final between AC Milan and Liverpool, reflecting his deep passion for football and the monumental moments it creates. If he could have any superpower, Declan would choose teleportation to visit friends in London for a weekend getaway.

Inspirational quotes hold a special place in Declan’s life, and one that particularly resonates with him is, “Desire is the starting point of all achievement,” by Napoleon Hill. It encapsulates his drive and motivation in both his personal and professional life.
