Micks Knowledge in all areas that i asked about, Superannuation, Mortgage, Budgeting was invaluable and i have come away from my appointment with a attitude to make things better for my circumstances.

56-65 years old"Mick has given us advice for transition from a farming business towards full retirement off farm. We are happy with Micks advice and he has shown us credibility and extensive knowledge in the area of small business capital gain tax concessions and overall financial advice. We also like Micks remuneration model which is easy to understand and does not include commissions. It is also very handy to know someone that has a regular supply of fresh fish! "
