What sets Freedom Financial Planning apart is how they really focus on your specific wants and needs rather than trying to squish you into a product set that suits them. We have had outstanding service and outstanding returns over our long association and now have financial freedom as we approach retirement that we would never have had without them. A million thank yous

I have been with Freedom Financial for a number of years now. It was recommended by a friend who had enjoyed very reliable service for many years.Since becoming a client, I have enjoyed advice whenever I needed it. While I was working part time, I needed to engaged regularly with Centrelink to advise changes of salary. It was very taxing to spend so much time on the phone. Freedom took over the Centrelink involvement entirely. The fees were worth that alone!! My Superannuation and finances became more manageable and I was better off as a result of suggestions made to me. More recently, I have inherited funds and had significant help with investment and more broadly Retirement Village living.Most importantly to me, I have always found them to be scrupulously honest and I could not recommend them more highly.Specifically, I have dealt with Mark Struik, but Stephanie is now my friend’s Adviser and she has always been more than delighted.

We were with another company for many years, and never had any contact with them, and they charged so much and did little. Freedom was recommended to us, and after 5 years of ongoing easy to understand friendly meetings, the results are very pleasing.

Derek Griff

Freedom have managed my Super Fund over many years and provided sound advice throughout, with regular market correspondence and detailed reports including any sudden changes to the market or government conditions that they considered relevant to my portfolio.For the most part, Kate has been my personal financial planner. Kate has arranged regular one on one meetings with me or impromptu meetings at my request to clarify, explain or make changes to my portfolio depending on market conditions or at my requests.Kate has been a trusted, professional financial adviser to me personally and always made herself available at any time. On the rare occasion when Kate has been unavailable for personal reasons, there has always been another financial planner made available immediately. I can’t speak highly enough of Kate and her willingness to make sure that I receive the best support, understand market information, provide logical advice with a way forward and this is all managed with a minimum of fuss.Derek
