The Practice

Our Team

From humble beginnings, our founding directors, Jason and Rob, have assembled an outstanding team of passionate finance industry professionals.

The complementary skillsets and extensive experience of our team members combine to form an incredible resource which is at your disposal to help make your business and personal wealth goals a reality.

JASON CUNNINGHAM

Co-founder & Director, Head of Business Advisory

Jason is passionate about a lot of things: his family; improving the level of financial literacy in Australia; cheering on the mighty Bombers. But he’s most passionate about helping small business owners get the full financial and lifestyle rewards they deserve for the long days and sleepless nights they have to endure to succeed.

The good news: there’s an easier way to achieve what you went into business for in the first place: more money and more freedom.

He may be a born entertainer, but while he doesn’t take himself too seriously he takes what he does very seriously.

ROBERT HADDED

Co-founder & CEO

The Practice has come a long way since childhood mates Robert Hadded and Jason Cunningham first set up shop in 1997. Rob and Jay are incredibly proud of the team they’ve gathered around them, and constantly humbled by the calibre of clients that allow The Practice to help them achieve great things.

Rob’s role in the business has evolved, mirroring the changing needs of our clients. As one of the founding Partners, he’s responsible for ensuring we deliver on the promises we make to clients, and maintaining the high levels of quality and service we are renowned for.

BRAD DAVIDSON

Director, Business Advisory

Brad first joined The Practice as an undergraduate accountant in 2001, and after completing university became a full time team member in 2004. After working his way through the ranks over eleven years, there were a few proud tears from Jason and Rob when Brad was made a Partner of the firm in 2015.

Brad leads a team of hard-working and highly skilled business advisers that work together to achieve outstanding results for clients. He’s passionate about helping the team develop the skills, experience and confidence to grow into the future leaders of The Practice.

CRAIG RIDLEY

Director, Lending Advisory

After 20 years in the mortgage broking industry, Craig still gets a buzz from helping people overcome challenges to achieve their financial goals.

Today, as head of The Practice Lending Advisory, he is as passionate as ever about guiding clients through the maze of buying their first home, or saving them thousands each year simply by finding a better rate or consolidating their debt.

MATT GARDINER

Director, The Practice Sydney office

Having long admired The Practice from afar, and known co-founders Robert Hadded and Jason Cunningham for many years, Matt jumped at the chance to head up The Practice’s first footprint outside of Melbourne.

Previously a Director at HLB Mann Judd in Sydney, Matt was attracted to the challenge of establishing the Sydney office of The Practice, and excited to finally get to work with Jay and Rob and experience first-hand the high-performance culture they have developed.
