56-65 years old"Review with Paul was highly effective. Paul clearly listened and ensured his advice was relevant and meshed the legal & financial context of the Australian Super framework with our personal situation. We felt confident in the advice and the action plan."

46-55 years old"Paul has given us advice on managing our assets and self managed super funds over the last few years. His detailed explanations supported by his well researched studies have enabled us to make important financial decisions with confidence as we embarked on the next chapter of our lives post work and running our business. The data and evidence he supplies to support his recommendations has made us more relaxed and confident in making these important decisions. His periodical reviews are robust, thorough and we enjoy the learnings during these sessions from Paul's research and experience. Professional and friendly, Paul and his team are a pleasure to deal with. "

John
65+ years old"Paul and his team have taken great care in disentangling us from a previous unsatisfactory financial advice situation and made sensible suggestions to rejig our portfolio so that it is more in tune with our level of acceptable risk and more balanced. They have also successfully reduced the cost of our financial advice."
16 Mar 2019Customer opinions
Peter
65+ years old"Paul and his team manage our SMSF. In doing so they provide a quarterly report wrt the performance of that fund, and advise on changes to investments. That report is comprehensive (includes details of any major investment influencing factors) and is supported by any desired face to face meeting with Paul to further discuss any issues (e.g. Labor's proposed changes to tax rules). The performance of our SMSF has more than matched our expectations. Paul draws on his extensive knowledge of the finance industry to clearly explain any issues that need more detailed information. In general terms Paul is very attentive and engaging."

Norman
65+ years old"As an ageing couple, we sought Paul's advice regarding possible property purchases for three of our children, using money held both within and outside superannuation. This raised issues of estate planning. We did not require any other investment advice. We were most impressed by Paul's quick grasp of our situation and his helpful remarks. "

Ann
65+ years old"Paul recently provided my partner and me with a revised retirement strategy tailored to take into account changed health circumstances and earlier than planned retirement. Through detailed financial modelling and advice on revising our investment portfolio from high growth to balanced we knew then that our current assets were more than sufficient to provide us with a very comfortable lifestyle to last through retirement - and best of all, that we did not have to sell our family home to do so. "

I am very confident the advice Paul is giving me is suitable for my current and future needs."

Henrietta
56-65 years old"Paul was able to help me manage the whole estate process following my parents' death. It was an extremely stressful period. He helped my husband and I plan our future in terms of a secure income and helped us to be prudent in our financial dealings so as to minimise the tax requirements. Paul has been available for ongoing annual reviews of our situation. These have been thorough and informative. He explains the situation clearly and tries to respond to our particular needs and circumstances which he goes to great lengths to understand. At other times he tries to respond promptly to our queries. We are completely confident in his advice. "

Phil
56-65 years old"Paul has been advising me for about 10 years. When I first met Paul, I quickly established that he was exactly the adviser I had been searching for. He has been able to listen and understand the required advice, and then thoroughly research, present options for discussion and document our joint conclusions. The entire process is collaborative and I have always found Paul's approach interesting and refreshing. He has the rare talent of being able to explain some complex ideas in understandable language. I have actually recommended Paul to a number of friends, family and work colleagues and will continue to do so. "
