Our costs vary for each client. We take into consideration the amount of time and complexity of work required, so we will discuss our fees during our initial chat. Then we can also provide you with our Financial Services Guide so you can make a decision about whether you wish to work with us. We’ll provide you with an estimate of costs, depending on your situation. Some of our services can be funded from your super. We can work this out during your initial no cost, obligation-free chat. If we don’t think we can add more value than the advice will cost then we will be upfront about that. We won’t take on clients unless we believe we can add value relative to the cost.

I have been a client of Investment Zone's since 2018, when I approached them to help me achieve my financial goals. Since then, I continue to experience professional service, expert tailored financial advice and the whole team are responsive and friendly. I work remotely so being able to communicate digitally, via video, email and phone has made it easy. I highly recommend Investment Zone for all Financial Planning needs.

We were referred to Brad but a couple of satisfied clients and our mortgage broker. Brad's approach to advising us about planning our financial affairs was most professional and delivered in a way that was clear and understandable. He has always made the time to help us on a personal level. We have also enjoyed his seminars as he has had very interesting speakers. Together with his staff we have been very satisfied and have recommended him to many of our friends. Thanks Bruce and Jackie 4184

I first heard about Investment Zone at one of the events they ran at the Royal Yacht Squadron in Lota. They hosted 2x speakers who were managers of some of the funds Brad invests his clients’ money with. I was very impressed with the content of these speakers and the investing methodology they adopt. From there, I had an initial meeting with Brad and I loved that he made time (at no cost) to get to understand my situation and investing goals. I was also very impressed with how Brad took a holistic view of long term financial future instead of just giving some mainstream advice. This included a look back at the history of the investment cycle and how this influenced his strategy for my portfolio as well as a review of my day to day budget and expenses. The financial plan he compiled was extremely thorough and I could clearly see that he had understood my goals and provided a comprehensive plan on how to go about reaching them. The other beauty of Investment Zone was that aside an initial fee their ongoing management costs come out of super so it hasn’t meant a hand break on my cash flow and other investments I have outside of Investment Zone, i.e. my subdivision project.

From the very first meeting it was clear that the service you receive from every team member at Investment Zone is nothing short of exceptional. Very welcoming staff, and the expertise we receive from Brad's extensive financial knowledge is simply priceless. We are so relieved knowing that we have Investment Zone in our corner guiding us to secure our financial freedom for the future. Thank you for the great service you provide to our community.

Joining Investment Zone is the best thing I’ve ever done for my financial future. From the first call, to sitting down with Brad, they were simply fantastic with answering all of my questions and made it so that I could understand what was going on with my portfolio. There were questions that others hadn’t answered for me and since being with Investment Zone I feel rest assured that those questions, and anything else that comes up, regardless of how trivial, how small or even how big they are, will be answered for me. With that knowledge, I’d pass onto my friends and family, and anyone else that asks me about financial matters - “don’t ask me, ask the team at Investment Zone. Talk to Brad, give the guys a call, set up a meeting.” I have already recommended Investment Zone to friends, family, and business acquaintances. It can’t hurt to ask those questions and I’m so glad that I did.
