I've been an FFA client for 18 years, which upon reflection I'm grateful to have been so and plan to continue into the future. They've provided me trustworthy advice as I'd transitioned from full time work to retirement. They've always ensured I'm comfortable with any ongoing changes with my portfolio to ensure it meets my needs. Made to feel valued with my regular personal meetings and monthly updates on financial matters of the day.

I had previously hesitated using a financial advisor, fearing that they would not invest my money in my best interests, or worse, misappropriate my funds. A trusted friend recommended I seek advice from Financial Foundations and on doing so I was impressed with the company’s professionalism in every respect - knowledge of global and domestic markets, an understanding of my needs, and an ability to manage my funds to my best advantage. I am now confident that my funds are protected and I will enjoy a future of prosperity, growth and hope. I believe my decision to choose Financial Foundations was definitely the right way to go and I would thoroughly recommend them to family and friends, and anyone else who needs expert financial advice.

We first came to Financial Foundations in the early 2000s as we were going nowhere with our then financial advisor. So on the recommendation of a work colleague we made an appointment with Neil Cox one of Financial Foundations founding members and we have not looked back. Sound financial advice from a dedicated team (thank you Ty Cockle and Kieran Menzie) have navigated us to a comfortable retirement position. So grateful this company was recommended to us - and we pass on this recommendation to future potential clients.

I have been working with Kieran for some time and have been consistently impressed with the quality of his support and guidance. He takes a considered, thorough approach, explaining each aspect clearly and ensuring I feel well informed and confident in every financial decision. Kieran demonstrates a genuine commitment to acting in my best interests, and his professionalism, clarity, and reliability have made navigating financial planning and investment decisions significantly easier. I would highly recommend Kieran to anyone seeking trustworthy, knowledgeable, and client focused financial advice.

Being a client of financial foundations I quickly realised how fortunate I was. Happy with my financial planner, exceptionally happy with my investment strategy along side the support and guidance that I wanted. More than happy with my investment returns and would recommend them as the “ go to” financial planning experts.

We have been clients of Financial Foundations for over 20 years and during this time we have received the utmost care and very best of financial advice. We have recommended FF to our family members and many friends. We have had awesome Financial Advisors, whose care to all details, keeping in contact with us, easy to talk to and developing friendship and trust is outstanding. We would highly recommend Financial Foundations and appreciate all they have done for us over the years, which has resulted us in confidentially enjoying our retirement, knowing our money is in excellent hands of our advisors.

Been a client for several years. The FFA team have helped set up my financial goals especially with Super. They're easy to deal with, have made my financial goals more of a reality, and keep me updated regularly.
