Phil inspires confidence and trust with his well researched financial strategies. He communicates with us clearly and promptly. He listens to and addresses our questions and follows up on enquiries. He explains the advice he is providing and illustrates it well. We are both busy professionally and personally so Phil ensures that he fits into our schedules for appointments.
Phil’s advice over the past 20 plus years has been sound and has served us well. And because of this we have recommended him to our own children. We are always happy to recommend Phil to others.

In 2005 my wife and I became Phil’s clients, and between his exceptional service and advice, we are now well structured and positioned to achieve our long-term financial goals. Phil has been proactive and diligent in his service and has always kept in contact with us as market conditions or our own personal circumstances have changed.
Phil has been professional in all our dealings with him, including our regular reviews and his excellent communication skills have kept us informed and up to date at all times. I have no hesitation in recommending Phillip to other prospective clients looking for professional financial planning services.

Phillip has taken the stress out of our retirement plans and the tools used allow us to clearly see a bright future with the necessary contingency plans.
His encouragement and interest in our overall financial wellbeing is highly valued. We have no hesitation in recommending Phillip to anyone wishing to strategically enhance their financial position.
