Adviser Reviews

Garth is the first financial advisor with whom I have felt immediately confident, safe and at ease. He is a straight talker, listened, was quick to appreciate what I needed and provided me valuable, considered input tailored to my situation and me. At long last I felt like an individual instead of an algorithm or, even worse, a ‘prospect’. I feel fortunate to have been referred to him by a friend.

I have had the superb knowledge of Garth and his team for many years now. I can’t recommend them highly enough. His thorough knowledge and ability to convey it to me in a simple manner is a delight. Rock on, Garth!

Garth and his team have been a godsend to us navigating the daunting task of retirement documentation and formalities and setting up our superannuation income stream. Garth is very accessible to his clients, an excellent communicator, and we have total faith in his advice.

Garth assisted me in the transition from employment to retirement. His advice resulted in a hassle-free process with maximum rewards. His approach is friendly and personal. I can not recommend him and his services highly enough.

– Richard W

I have been a client of Garth’s for several years. He had been recommended to me by a colleague as I was dissatisfied with the adviser I had been seeing. It was a complicated process to undertake this transition, and Garth managed this methodically, professionally and thoughtfully. He has provided very sound advice and guidance to me and has always been very responsive to any enquiries or requests. He is a good listener, and provides client focussed/ individualised advice which is the hallmark of a great adviser. I have no hesitation in recommending Garth and his staff.
