In Your Interest Financial Planning is owned by Christoph Schnelle and Nicky Lessing. For our details see below. We set up the company to be independent and free from outside influences and financial institutions. This allows us to act solely In Your Interest.
We are a member of FYG Planners which is an organisation of likeminded planners and our licensor. As a group we have well over $1 billion dollars under management. This gives us valuable group purchasing power and access to all the latest research and information.
Christoph brings a great deal of practical experience to creating wealth and keeping wealth.
Christoph founded and ran a multimillion dollar company with 35 employees that attracted many millions in government R&D funding and Venture Capital Investment.
As the owner of 7 properties he understands and values the role real estate can play in wealth creation.
As the author of four international patents in the computer data storage field and as a mathematical prodigy he understands the conceptual background of investment theory. His practical experience in the business and investment world allows him to implement these theoretical concepts in simple ways that work well for the individual client.

Nicky manages the compliance, organisational and administrative aspects of In Your Interest Financial Planning. She has excellent organisational skills and a great ability to get things done. However, it is not just what you do or get done that matters, but the energy in which you do it. For many, many years Nicky has been a student of the Ageless Wisdom as taught by Serge Benhayon, Universal Medicine and her own inner heart.
Prior to working for In Your Interest Financial Planning, Nicky was the CEO of a Legal and Tax Electronic Publisher for nine years. The business included providing daily updates of legislation to many thousands of lawyers including all of the top ten law firms in Australia, the ATO and other major government departments.
During those nine years Nicky negotiated projects and investments worth six and seven figure amounts where trust was of paramount concern. She was instrumental in raising several million dollars in R&D funds and finance.
Below are two front cover photos of Nicky from 1998. Nicky is the one with dark hair.
