What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Superannuation guidance and investment management form the backbone of the work this Cairns practice is known for, with clients repeatedly praising the depth of expertise brought to both. Zak Glatthor and Ian Byrne are named often, described as patient listeners who take time to understand individual financial positions and goals before offering direction. Reviewers frequently highlight clear, jargon-free explanations, noting that complex matters such as retirement transition and self-managed super fund portfolios are broken down into terms that make sense. Continuous monitoring of investments is another theme, with the team adjusting strategies to suit personal risk preferences and long-term objectives.

Prompt, thorough answers to queries, timely reminders about deadlines, and thoughtful discussion of the broader economic landscape are all mentioned as part of the ongoing support. The reception and meeting spaces are noted as clean and well organised, while the manner of staff is consistently described as welcoming and respectful. Some clients arrived carrying scepticism from past experience and report being won over by transparent, well-researched advice and practical retirement packages. Relationships spanning many years, steady handling of affairs, and guidance that clients genuinely understand round out the picture.

My first visit to Evolution Financial Cairns was a delight. The staff are very welcoming and respectful, the entrance and meeting rooms are clean and organised. I enjoyed a one hour meeting with Zak Glatthor, finding him a very patient listener and extremely knowledgeable regarding my financial requirements. Five star service and highly recommended.

Since late 2023, the team at Evolution Financial has played a critical role in my pre-retirement planning. Their clear, practical advice and deep understanding of the complexities surrounding superannuation gave me the confidence to transition from full-time work to a self-funded retirement. Their ongoing support—through lifestyle and goal-setting reviews, timely reminders about key deadlines, and thoughtful discussions on the economic landscape and investment strategies—continues to demonstrate their value. Evolution Financial remains a trusted partner in managing and growing my family’s financial wellbeing.

If you ever need someone who really knows their stuff in finance, Zac’s your guy! He’s super easy to talk to, happy to answer any questions and explain things in layman's terms, and you can tell he genuinely cares about helping people. My wife and I are very confident that Zac gave us the best guidance and direction. We wish we'd met him earlier. Zac is seriously an all-around great person!!

In the past I have had less than favourable experiences with financial advisors and entered this relationship with scepticism. My experience with Zak has been very different. He approaches financial advice with knowledge, common sense and transparent openness all communicated with clarity and honesty. He offered a complete transition to retirement package as well as a range of investment opportunities not offered by most financial advisors. Ultimately I believe he offers value for money.

Our dealings with Zak and the team at Evolution Financial has been second to none. Zak is always monitoring our investments to ensure the best outcome and is able to explain different matters in simple and clear terms so we can make the best decisions. I highly recommend this team of professionals.
