Scott Malcolm

Clare

"I have been in the PSS for a long time and had been meaning to get around to asking for some advice on my options as I head into my 50s. Scott had the answers to all of my questions and identified some issues I need to be paying attention to that I hadn't thought of. His explanations were clear and he had obviously prepared to be able to help me with my particular situation."

Stephen and Marilyn

"We have recently placed our superannuation account with Scott, and Clare. We have been more than satisfied with the setting up of our new arrangements, and particularly the personal assistance and empathy provided to my wife in getting her familiar and confident in our future financial security. Scott and Clare have provided first class advice and their experience and knowledge, and high ethics, has been very evident at every step, We especially appreciated the long term outlooks and expectations they were able to provide. Personally, both are great to deal with - they have kind hearts and generous with their time toward us. We feel very blessed to be working with them."

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. "

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