It’s why we offer ongoing advice. To regularly review your strategy and goals and make sure you’re always on track, no matter what life throws at you.

confident that we're doing the best we can

We came to Gavin to for financial advice for retirement after leaving a previous job with partial pension and other super schemes.

He helped amalgamate our funds, made the financial management simpler and has led us to make the best, most efficient use of the resources we have available.

We now feel confident that we're doing the best we can.

Everything went really, really well

Gavin made himself available and came to us – to help my sister & I work with my dad on his aged care finances. He evaluated where we're at, explained everything and gave us options and recommendations.

We had no real idea. He really took us from novice through to understanding the complexities and what our options were. Gavin’s approachable and answered our questions; and he has his information very organised.

It built that trust and confidence that he knows his stuff. Everything went really, really well.

– Peter Cocking

we are all sorted

We knew we weren't set up with the best options in terms of super and insurances, so we wanted to see what we could do. Gilli explained things simply and is easy to get along with. I trust what he's done so far, it’s given me peace of mind.

I just feel more confident about our future and the security the financial plans gives our family. We’re all sorted now, it’s terrific.

– Christine Swaddling

It gave them clarity and confidence

Gavin helped my parents to understand their options and the steps they needed to take. It gave them clarity and confidence, because Aged Care is a very complex world for older people to navigate.

He went out of his way to help and was very thorough, giving us the information we needed and support at every stage of the different applications. He was also very patient and kind with my father, sometimes going through the same questions several times.

It was a worthwhile investment. 

– Adam Lunarzewski

made a pretty significant difference

I came to Gilli for advice about an investment property I owned. He gave us multiple informed options and set them out so we could decide. I liked that, it’s honesty and he wasn't pushing us down a certain way. We went down the path of selling and invested in managed funds.

I appreciate his expertise. He rebalanced our portfolio effectively, which made a pretty significant difference*. We just don't have the time in our life to monitor a portfolio ourselves. 

He also advised us on personal insurances so if anything did go wrong the children would be ok.

Gilli periodically checks in with us to make sure we're happy and to do a review of our goals and investments. He makes it easy.

* Just one of the benefits of ongoing advice
