Marlowe Chen

Senior Financial Planning Strategist

Marlowe brings a refreshingly practical approach to financial planning, one that emerged from her early career in actuarial science before transitioning into comprehensive wealth management. She's particularly known for breaking down complex investment concepts into clear, actionable strategies.

Her specialisation in behavioural finance means she understands that the numbers are only part of the story. She helps clients navigate the emotional aspects of financial decision-making, especially during major life transitions like career changes or approaching retirement.

12 Years of Financial Planning Excellence

Our Approach to Financial Guidance

Evidence-Based Strategies

We build recommendations on solid research and market analysis, not trends or speculation. Every strategy we suggest has clear reasoning behind it.

Long-Term Relationships

Financial planning isn't a one-time event. We're here for the journey, adapting strategies as your life circumstances evolve and change.

Personalised Solutions

Cookie-cutter approaches don't work in finance. We take time to understand your unique situation, goals, and concerns before making recommendations.

Leadership & Vision

Founding principles that guide our financial planning philosophy

Indira Blackwood, Founder and Managing Director

Indira Blackwood

Founder & Managing Director

Indira established delvinarquos in 2018 after spending fifteen years in corporate financial services, where she frequently saw clients receiving generic advice that didn't match their actual needs. Her vision was simple: create a practice where financial planning truly serves the individual, not the institution.

She holds a Master's in Financial Planning from Griffith University and maintains her Certified Financial Planner designation. But what really sets her apart is her ability to listen – really listen – to what clients are trying to achieve beyond just the numbers.
