About Premiere Advisory
Your team of expert financial advisors providing personalised financial advice tailored towards your unique circumstances.
Our Mission
Premiere Advisory was founded in July 2013 by Kane Duong, who brings over 20 years of experience in the banking and financial services industry. Since its inception, Premiere Advisory has been dedicated to providing personalised financial advice and guidance to individuals and families across Australia.
At Premiere Advisory, we specialise in creating a financial plan tailored to each individual or couple, aligning every strategy with your unique financial and personal goals. Our core mission is to deliver high-quality financial advice while fostering genuine, long-term relationships with our clients. We don't just aim to offer guidance for today - we strive to be a trusted partner on your financial journey, now and into the future..
Our investment strategies and advice is suited to each individual client – both inside and outside of superannuation and managing cashflows. We also advise on personal insurances so we are able to offer you an all-in-one financial planning service.
We know when you are buying a home, there are so many banks and different options to choose from and which one is best for you? With a view of being your financial specialist, we will factor in all aspects of your tax position, personal and financial goal to choose the best product that best meets all your needs.
We recognise that there are some aspects that are best left to specialist partners, such as mortgage brokers, accountants, real estate agents and solicitors. We have established a referral network that you can also access. We work in partnership with our referrers in order to ensure our mutual client’s needs are met and both the client and the referrer are informed every step of the way.
Meet the Founder
Kane Duong is the founder and lead financial advisor at Premiere Advisory. His career in finance spans more than two decades, with a strong foundation built through roles at some of Australia’s leading banks, including Commonwealth Bank, HSBC Bank, Westpac, and ANZ Bank between 2003 and 2012.
Since establishing Premiere Advisory in 2013, Kane has focused on helping Australians make confident and informed financial decisions. His deep industry expertise and client-first approach have been instrumental in building lasting relationships based on trust and transparency.
With deep experience across multiple major banks, Kane Duong brings a rare, industry-wide perspective to financial advising. Unlike advisors who are limited to a single institution’s products, Kane draws from a broad network of leading financial institutions, giving you access to a wide range of options for your investment portfolio and personal insurance needs. This ensures maximum flexibility, choice, and the ability to tailor solutions that work best for you, not the product providers — allowing you to compare benefits across the entire financial landscape rather than being locked into a single provider’s offerings.
In addition to his extensive industry experience, Kane Duong holds a distinguished suite of financial planning qualifications. He has earned a Master of Commerce (Financial Planning) and an Advanced Diploma of Financial Planning (RG146), and is a Certified Financial Planner® (CFP®) Practitioner, the highest designation awarded by the Financial Planning Association of Australia (FPA).
Kane is also a Justice of the Peace (JP) and holds further relevant qualifications, including an Advanced Diploma of Accounting and a Diploma of Financial Services (Mortgage Broking). His academic excellence and professional credentials reflect a commitment to integrity, expertise, and delivering the highest standard of advice to his clients.
This gives you peace of mind at Premiere Advisory; we strive for excellence and high quality advice to all of our clients.

Insurers
We work closely with a trusted panel of insurance providers, including administrative staff, BDMs, and underwriters who help structure and maintain our clients' protection strategies. Insurance administrators manage policy updates, premium processing, and general servicing tasks efficiently. BDMs assist with product support and case structuring, while underwriters assess risk to ensure clients receive the most appropriate and competitive cover. Their involvement is critical to ensuring the insurance solutions we recommend are both effective and reliable.
