As a key figure in Eclipse’s future direction, Steve Obst brings a wealth of experience and reliability to the team. He’s taken on much of Justin’s client base, giving Justin room to focus on the firm’s long-term growth. In doing so, Steve has gradually built relationships with many local clients and enjoyed becoming part of the broader Whitsundays community.
“We have a really lovely client base, which makes my job easy!” said Steve.
With a particular interest in working with retirees, Steve says it’s rewarding to help them navigate complex superannuation and pension matters.
“I find working with our retired clients really satisfying because I can help them negotiate fairly complex Superannuation and pension issues. Getting positive outcomes is very rewarding, and I love that every week is different.”
Having known each other for more than three decades, Steve and Justin share both a professional history and a solid friendship. So, when Steve decided it was time for a lifestyle change, it was a natural fit when an opportunity at Eclipse came up.
While Steve once imagined life in the police force, he says helping people take control of their financial futures has proven just as meaningful and just as rewarding.
Outside of the office, Steve is often found out on the water with the Whitsunday Game Fishing Club or at the range with the Bowen Sporting Shooters Association.
