What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Superannuation, investment and insurance broking are the services that come through most strongly in feedback for this Brisbane practice, and the recurring theme is the depth of the relationships clients build with the advisers. Customers in several reviews describe long associations spanning years, with one noting three years of continuous work and another referring to many years of being looked after by the same team. The praise that recurs centres on thoroughness and meticulous attention to detail, particularly in retirement planning, estate planning and restructuring investments for tax efficiency.

Reviewers repeatedly mention prompt responses to questions, including phone calls to explain matters rather than relying on written replies alone, and the care taken to understand life goals before shaping strategies around them. Stephen, Brett Cribb, James, Angela, Irma and Tran are named across accounts, with clients describing them as approachable, knowledgeable and genuinely invested in client outcomes. Superannuation entitlements and protections for families feature in the work described, as does guidance through the transition to retirement. An observation shared by more than one reviewer is the confidence clients feel in having their finances managed by advisers who explain complex details clearly and remain available for ongoing assistance.

Always great to meet with Steve, Tran and Angela. I have been with Stratus for many years and have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone who values thorough, professional and honest financial advice. Thank you to the team for taking care of me.

Closing in on 20 years with Brett and the team has seen our portfolio grow in absolute terms but more than that, they take the complex and deliver value with advice and management of structure, ESS, direct/indirect investment and the other rewards which characterise the health-tech sector. The significant work done behind the scenes provides peace of mind and certainty that this complexity is being well managed. The old adage holds true - engage professionals if you care about quality. Thanks Stratus.

All of the members of the team at Stratus Financial are truly professional and are focused on delivering the best possible client outcomes. They continue to invest time to understand my life goals and then shape financial strategies to support achieving them. Their customer service is excellent. I highly recommend them to anyone who is seeking knowledgeable, experienced and trustworthy advisors to partner with you to plan and manage your financial future.

A friend referred Christine & I to Brett and the Stratus rest of the team 4 years ago as we were looking for professional help to get better organized, restructure our investments for tax efficiency, maximize superannuation entitlements, and finally ensure protections were in place for ourselves and the family into the future. A lot of effort went into the initial activities; working with us overseas, that was handled with empathy, quickly, efficiently and reasonably priced, leaving Christine & I as satisfied customers. We're happy to refer others to Stratus.
