Mount Eliza Office
First Samuel, one of Australia’s leading wealth management firms, is proud to now have a presence in Mt Eliza. Anthony Starkins, Founder and Executive Director and a long-time Mt Eliza resident, will forgo his daily commute to Collins Street and to focus on serving individuals, couples and families in Mt Eliza and Mornington Peninsula.
At First Samuel, we deliver truly comprehensive advice — integrating investment management, family wealth planning, self-managed superannuation, retirement strategies, and tax-efficient structures — all tailored to your unique circumstances.
With over 45 years in the financial services industry, Anthony Starkins brings not only world-class expertise but also a deep personal commitment to the Mt Eliza community he proudly calls home.
Before founding First Samuel in 1999, Anthony spent nearly two decades with Schroders and then J.P. Morgan, working in Melbourne, Sydney, Tokyo, Singapore, and London. These global roles in treasury, capital markets, and investment management gave him an insider’s understanding of how sophisticated financial strategies are built — knowledge he now applies to helping Australian families achieve lasting financial success.
“I’m proud to bring the collective expertise of our team to the Mt Eliza community. Our focus is simple — to provide the highest standard of wealth management and ensure the long-term financial wellbeing of our clients.”
Anthony Starkins, Founder & Executive Director
“I’m passionate about my family, my cricket, my football team — and my First Samuel clients. In each case, the team comes first.”
Anthony Starkins, Founder & Executive Director
For Mt Eliza residents — many of whom have built successful businesses, property portfolios, or family legacies — Anthony’s experience offers something rare: institutional-level investment insight combined with genuine local understanding.
Whether it’s structuring intergenerational wealth, navigating retirement planning, managing self-managed super funds, or developing tax-efficient investment strategies, Anthony and the First Samuel team provide trusted, personal advice that reflects both the complexity of modern markets and the values of this close-knit community.
By bringing First Samuel’s expertise to Mt Eliza, Anthony is helping local families access the same tailored wealth management solutions that have guided some of Australia’s most successful individuals — now right here, close to home.
