About me
Kane Dalley founded Sterling Advice in 2005, and has twenty years experience as a financial adviser. He helps clients achieve their financial objectives and lifestyle goals. Kane guides his clients through the ever changing superannuation landscape, and helps to clear the confusion of the seemingly endless rules and regulations. He enjoys seeing clients gain the confidence to make informed decisions so they can get on with enjoying the things that matter most to them. Prior to establishing Sterling Advice Kane was a Senior Investment Adviser and Certified Financial Planner (NZ) with Spicers Portfolio Management providing advice on matters such as portfolio construction, tax, estate planning, insurance, retirement planning and wealth creation.

46-55 years old"A newbie to Self Managed Super Funds and quite frankly, not really taking responsibility for our future finances, it is comforting to have full confidence in Kane and his advice. He is personal and takes his role extremely seriously whilst maintaining a real world view. I have, and will be, fully recommending his services to anyone who indicates financial direction."

35-45 years old"Kane is the most astute, empathetic & professional financial advisor I have worked with. His integrity & down to earth nature will make you feel instantly comfortable. Kane has contributed greatly to not only to our wealth management, but that of many people I know for assets and growth. What he has achieved for people with traumatic and life insurance requirements has made an emotional impact on us. Couldn't recommend Kane higher. "

Andrew
56-65 years old"Kane is one of life's Gentlemen, honest, down to earth and has time for you. Nothing seems too much trouble for him and no matter how obtuse I am when asking questions, he always puts things in perspective and talks in layman's language not babble and buzzwords. As an ex military man with over 30 years service all over the Globe I will be quite frank and state I have not met many people like Kane, customer focused, knowledgeable and takes time to get to know his client. Indeed may family invest with him and I have put friends his way, who all echo these sentiments. I can not understand why he only has a silver rating as it should be at least GOLD or even platinum for such a rare individual. I would have no hesitation in recommending Kane to anyone."
