Scott Malcolm

Mathew

"We came to Scott via a recommendation from a good friend. Scott was patient, adaptable and comprehensive in his advice. Not once were we made to feel as though our questions or requests were stupid and Scott's calm demeanour put us instantly at ease. Scott's advice ranged beyond what we anticipated and essentially turned him into a one stop shop for all of our enquiries relating to Property investment, Superannuation, Insurance and a road forward for a medically retired customer. Scott comes across as very genuine and confident in his advice and it was a pleasure dealing with him."

Alex

"I have been taking Scott's advice for around 13-years. I find him ethical and have always felt that he is in synch with my perspective about the need to set one's life goals and then see how to structure one's income and assets to deliver those. In my most recent appointment I set out six questions I needed guidance to help answer and we got to the end in exactly the time allocated. "

"Scott has given my husband and I excellent advice over the last nine months in areas including income and budgeting, superannuation funds and managing investments. Having recently become an independent consultant operating internationally, there have been several challenges to navigate which he has helped seamlessly with.

His friendly manner makes all the difference. It has changed the way we manage our finances dramatically in a short time.""
