About the company

Blue Lantern Financial Services is a financial advisory practice based in Sydney. It operates on a fee-for-service model, with more than 75% of income derived from fees and the remainder from insurance brokerage. Investment commissions are rebated in full.

The practice provides independent financial advice to young professionals, growing families, and clients in pre- or post-retirement planning. Its services include financial planning, superannuation and SMSFs, retirement, property, shares, risk and insurance, lending, investments, and estate planning. The practice's advisory success has been built through referrals from existing clients.

What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Mortgage broking and property investment guidance define the work of the practice, and its clients tend to stay put. A number of customers describe relationships stretching past the ten-year mark, covering refinancing, new purchases and self-managed superannuation funds, with loan structures reviewed proactively rather than left alone. John Micalizzi is named often, praised for his lending knowledge and for arranging finance on first investment properties; Joe is credited with smooth refinancing and patient support; Richard and Adam are mentioned for their willingness to explain options at length while decisions were weighed.

A point that comes up often is the transparency of the process, with advisers described as responsive, calm and clear about each stage of a loan application. Reviewers frequently point to how seamless the experience felt, particularly when refinancing and a fresh purchase were handled together, and favourable rates were secured as a result. The practice also assists with private finances and investment property portfolios. What clients value most is advice that stays available after settlement, leaving them confident about decisions and inclined to return for the next transaction.

Have been with Blue Lantern Financial Services for nearly 8 years for all our refinancing and investment properties and they have been fantastic to work with. They’re professional, clear in their advice, and genuinely focused on helping clients make confident financial decisions. We felt supported with every step of the way and really value their expertise. Thanks Joe and the team.

Joe and the team at Blue Lantern have been assisting with our private finances and SMSF for over 10 years now and words cannot express the thanks and appreciation I have for them. They have made it so easy to finance, re-finance, update, renew, everything. Nothing was too hard and they were always there ready to help. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing assistance or just advice.

Ben at Blue Lantern Financial Services has been absolutely amazing! At a stage in life where we’ve got young kids, a mortgage, and want to secure our financial future with the right safeguards in place, his guidance has been invaluable. He’s professional, responsive, and takes the time to explain everything clearly, making what could be a stressful process feel easy and well thought out. We really appreciate his expertise, attention to detail, and friendly approach — nothing is ever too much trouble. We couldn’t recommend Ben and the Blue Lantern team highly enough!

Joe and his team were incredibly helpful throughout the entire process, guiding my wife and me every step of the way and making everything so easy. They were always available to chat, answer any questions, and provide support. Once again, thank you for assisting us with the bank loan process.

We have engaged with Blue Lantern for the past 4 years and it has been a productive relationship. The process, engagements and outcomes meet all our expectations and we are always assured of the best outcomes. What I also value in Blue Lantern, is the access to advisors and brokers - we talk on the phone and sort things out in a timely manner.
