John Parkinson

When we read about the people who have invested in dodgy superannuation schemes we are grateful that we discovered Infocus financial planners and in particular John Parkinson. John has been looking after our portfolio now for 5 years and he is a truly professional and caring financial planner who makes everything easy to understand. He takes the time to really understand our goals and explain everything clearly. We always feel confident and supported knowing our finances are in such capable hands.

In 2021, in the midst of the pandemic, I decided to retire as a secondary school principal in Melbourne and moved to live in Perth where my life partner had taken up a senior position. InFocus came highly recommended by my long standing Victorian based Financial Adviser. Wisely managing your finances in retirement is a challenging task normally but I was feeling particularly vulnerable and in great need of a trustworthy steady pair of hands to set me up in my new city and lifestyle. John Parkinson has been my adviser since shortly after signing up with InFocus. He combines a friendly and sincere communication style, with clear, intelligent and well informed advice and analysis of the markets underpinning the structure of my financial plan. John is always readily available should I need advice or reassurance about my position and I feel completely confident that he is managing my portfolio in a balanced and secure manner. I highly recommend John Parkinson to prospective clients, particularly those preparing for retirement. In a period of significant life changes, John has provided a welcoming and trusted service to support my transition to a financially secure retirement.

My husband and I have been clients of In Focus for over 20 years now. John took over our management in 2020 and we have been greatly assisted by him and the team since then. Over the past 18 months he has safely guided us through downsizing, purchasing and selling our house and finally re-investing to provide us with a totally successful outcome. We recommend him and In Focus as caring Financial Managers.

John has dealt with us patiently and professionaly at all times. We are comfortable with his recommendations and advice.
