I’ve had a very positive experience with Alaina and the team at Direct Wealth. Their clear guidance—especially around superannuation and planning for retirement—has helped me feel more confident to make informed decisions. Professional, easy to deal with, and highly recommended.

We work with Lyle Filer and have found him to be a very approachable, knowledgable guy. We really appreciate his great attitude, advice and helpfulness in our financial journey. He respects our opinions which makes us feel comfortable working with him. Thanks Lyle 🙂

My finances were a real mess and I was spending all my superannuation so I came to Freedom Planning with very little idea about how to solve my financial problems. Alaina was amazing. I now feel really comfortable where I am financially and I’m actually starting to understand a little bit about the financial world.
google
Alaina and the team are absolutely fantastic. I went into my first appointment knowing that I wanted a better financial plan for my future, but with no clear idea of what that needed to look like. Alaina was very thoughtful, thorough and genuinely interested in gaining a clear understanding of what was important for me. She gave me options that were simple, very achievable and provided the clarity for my financial future that I really needed. The entire team are really authentic and friendly. I highly recommend Alaina and the team. Top notch!!!

My wife and I recently started working with Nathan from Direct Wealth to review our superannuation, personal insurance, and overall financial strategy. Nathan took the time to understand our goals in detail and explained each recommendation in clear, simple terms, and provided well-structured options that made it easy for us to make decisions. We appreciated his thoroughness, patience, and the fact that he considered both the short-term and long-term impacts of each change. If you’re looking for a financial adviser who will take the time to tailor a plan to your situation and walk you through it step-by-step, we highly recommend Nathan.

I would thoroughly recommend Ben Marlow from Direct Wealth – he has been of great assistance with his advice and helping our family navigate the financial maze, so as to avoid any pitfalls, ensure all compliance is covered and that mum consistently gets good returns on her investments. He is very professional and knowledgeable, always ready to explain and ensure that he is providing her with the very best options to meet her financial goals.

Your support, guidance is much appreciated.

My partner and I had a fantastic experience with Direct Wealth as first-home buyers. Victor Larder, our mortgage broker, made the process smooth and stress-free by staying on top of everything and keeping us informed at every step. His professionalism and attention to detail gave us confidence and peace of mind.

We were also impressed by Stef Wagner, the loan officer assisting Victor, who was efficient, responsive, and always ready to help. Thanks to their expertise and dedication, we secured the perfect loan for our first home. I highly recommend Direct Wealth to anyone looking for a reliable and supportive team!

Lyle was incredibly approachable & provided me with amazing advice, support, guidance & knowledge. I had anxiety around access support around my finances, but Lyle made me feel at ease & as though nothing was too much trouble to ask. Highly recommend! 😊

We engaged Erin Truscott to do a retirement plan for us and we found her very professional to deal with. From the start we felt we could put our trust in her and she has put some amazing strategies in place.
google
My journey and experience with Direct Wealth so far has been nothing but positive. Erinn and the team have been friendly, professional, highly informative and quick to respond to any concerns. I’d been toying with the idea about engaging with a financial advisor for some time but I knew that following the initial meeting that it was definitely something that I wanted to pursue.

We’ve been working with Kirsty at Direct Wealth for close to 3 years now. We couldn’t be happier, her advice is clear, tailored and has helped us feel confident about our future. We consider her a friend, she always makes time for chats about life and our fury friends along side business. Highly recommend Kirsty and the team at Direct Wealth.

Great friendly service and financial support from Erin at Direct Wealth for my transition into retirement.
google
Up until meeting Erin, I wasn’t at all confident with the advice given to me by other advisors. The Financial modelling particularly gave me piece of mind that I will be ok far into the future. Erin also had great understanding and empathy for my past experiences. As a woman, for me, this was a critical component for trusting her advice. I simply can’t recommend her highly enough. She is also just a lovely human being 🙂

I recently had an initial meeting with Sam Dwight at Direct Wealth, and I couldn’t be more pleased. I’ve always approached financial planning with some caution, but Sam’s approach immediately eased my concerns. He took the time to genuinely understand my personal circumstances, financial goals, and concerns without rushing into advice. Sam was incredibly friendly, courteous, and professional, making me feel comfortable and heard. His transparency and honesty came through at every step, and I left feeling confident about the next steps. I highly recommend Direct Wealth and in particular Sam to anyone seeking thoughtful, trustworthy financial guidance.

Sam & the Redcliffe team are amazing, they have managed my finances so well I can retire 2yrs earlier than expected.
Cannot recommend them highly enough.

Direct Wealth have always had a fantastic, client focused, efficient relationship with their clients, and we are very happy with the way that they interact and work with us to ensure a safe, secure, profitable outcome for us in our retirement.
Their client service is a personal relationship which suits the way we prefer to operate, but it makes our financial planning very easy, yet driven by a professional commitment to best practice in their field.
We are very happy to be clients of Direct Wealth.

Since changing over from another Financial Advisor to Direct Wealth two years ago I find them to be a very professional and knowledgeable business. I recently had my yearly review with Ben, and I was very impressed with the way my finances are being looked after. I look forward to my next review. I would certainly recommend Direct Wealth to any interested prospective client.
google
Initial chat with Ben. Found him very patient, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. Ben also came across as proactive – when presented non-financial industry information relating to an industry specific risk in a space that was removed from the finance industry, and that he wasn’t previously aware of – Ben indicated that he would go away and investigate that further risk so he could be informed for his other clients. Ben followed through on call times, and emails when he said he would send them. Cannot comment on the service beyond that. Would recommend as someone who was approachable and easy to talk to.
google
I had the pleasure of working with Ben for my financial planning needs, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. From the outset, Ben demonstrated a deep understanding of financial strategies and an impressive ability to tailor his advice to my personal situation. His approach is thorough, clear, and remarkably effective.

Ben took the time to explain complex concepts in a way that was easy to understand and always made sure I was comfortable with each decision. His attention to detail and proactive communication helped me feel confident about my financial future.
google
I highly recommend Ben Marlow at Direct Wealth. Ben consistently provides outstanding financial advice. His guidance is always timely and informed. He’s been an invaluable partner in navigating our financial journey, offering tailored advice that perfectly suits our current situation. Thanks Ben!

Ben Marlow from Direct Wealth has been a sound financial advisor for me and my wife for multiple years. Ben’s positive attitude, willingness to adapt and understanding of the financial system have helped us greatly. I highly recommend using Ben and his team.

We have been under the financial guidance of Kirsty for our future plans . At first it was such a daunting decision but Kirsty was happy to explain and answer all of our questions in a friendly and open manner. We are very happy to be with the team at Direct Wealth.

My wife and I met with Kirsty and she made us feel at ease with explaining how she would invest our money for retirement and resolved concerns we had. Kirsty was very thorough and made us feel comfortable with our decision to utilise Direct Wealth.

Just started with this company and my adviser is Erin. So far I like everything about them and her- very friendly, relatable, down-to-earth and approachable. I am glad I found them and looking forward to see what comes next!
