Michael McGowan

I’m retiring this month, and Michael has made the lead-up so much easier. He took the time to understand my situation and helped me to increase my super and save on tax. Michael explains everything clearly and is always quick to get back to me when I have a question. I now feel organised and confident about retiring. I would be happy to recommend Michael.

I had the pleasure of working with Michael for both my superannuation and insurance protection needs, and I couldn’t be more impressed and grateful for the service he provided. From our first meeting, Michael was incredibly down to earth, approachable and professional. He clearly explained every step of the process and ensured we were kept informed throughout the entire insurance application journey.

His strong communication skills, deep knowledge and practical insights made a complex process feel straightforward and stress-free. What also stood out was the affordability of his services - excellent value without any compromise on quality.

Michael’s ability to connect with people from all walks of life, regardless of age or background truly sets him apart and is a testament to his character. He’s a highly skilled and trustworthy financial planner and I would confidently recommend him to anyone seeking clear, honest and expert financial guidance.

Thank you Michael and I look forward to working together every step of the way in our financial future!

Since engaging Michael on retainer as my financial adviser back in October 2024 (my first financial adviser/unsure what to expect at 32 years old), I've noticed an incredible transformation in my personal mindset/knowledge of finances, and the state of my debt and finances has drastically improved. Michael has been fantastic in creating, explaining and implementing a tailored financial strategy for me - suited to my age, lifestyle, current debt situation and future financial goals. Our frequent check-ins motivate me to stay the course and remind me that I'm investing valuable time and resource into the life I want to create for myself. I could not recommend Michael enough. He is personable, realistic (but motivating), incredibly knowledgeable and diligent. As a 32 year old who had convinced herself that she was forever going to succumb to her impulsive behaviour and spending/debt-accumulation habits, incapable of the will-power to achieve the life I want financially, I am genuinely shocked/so proud of myself for what I've been able to achieve in the short 5 months since engaging Michael. I can't wait to see where I'm at come October 2025. Thank you Michael you are a life saver and the best decision I've made for myself!! (Like Michael said, if investing in my physical health with Pilates is a non-negotiable, I should start to view my financial health in the same way. He was 100% correct - the anxiety and stress that was caused by my unhealthy financial position was impacting my mental and physical health).

I spoke to Michael about insurance firstly, but we also went through my investments to make sure everything was heading in the right direction. He explained things in a way that was easy to understand and made the whole process feel simple and pretty straightforward. I felt confident making decisions after we spoke. Would definitely recommend him if you're looking for someone who knows their stuff and is easy to deal with.
