Working with Erin from Direct Wealth, I can’t speak more highly. Erin is extremely knowledgeable and informative with a fantastic demeanour – not bothered by all of my questions. I originally went to look at investment advice and options, but Erin has gone the extra mile and provided additional financial wellbeing enhancements which I’m excited about! Feels like I’m in good hands and excited to work with Erin and the Direct Wealth team.

Our friends recommended Direct Wealth to us through their own experience of dealing with them.

We contacted Direct Wealth and our financial advisor was Sam Dwight. Upon meeting Sam we immediately felt relaxed and comfortable with his advice.

We found Sam to be very professional, caring and knowledgeable to assist us with our retirement and superannuation goals. He was always available and quickly responded to any questions or concerns we had.
We would highly recommend Direct Wealth and Sam Dwight.

Satisfied Client

“I can’t recommend Direct Wealth more highly.

Erin has been my advisor for some time now, taking care of my super and life insurance needs.

I’ve since gotten to know Simon, who is a wealth of knowledge.

Both of these guys are a breath of fresh air and a pleasure to deal with.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Rarely does someone come to us wanting to build wealth and never touch it!

Our clients usually have financial goals that are connected to life goals – our main purpose is to figure out what kind of life you want to live and work with you to make your ideal a reality.

By asking questions and discussing what you want to achieve with your life, we’ll bring to light what working with a financial advisor is like, how our process works, and how we’ll help you get to where you want to be.

The goal is to give you everything you need so you can make an informed decision about whether or not working with us is the best option for you.   

Then, we begin to establish, protect and grow your wealth. We make sure everything stays on track and your finances continue to work hard for you throughout the years.

The best part? Your financial plan isn’t about scarcity, forced savings, and not having fun. We’ll build all the freedom you want into your plan while keeping your end result in focus. 

With our support, you can enjoy continuing confidence and peace of mind from knowing that you’re on track. We’ll also be here to support you when things don’t quite go to plan – because that’s life! 

Our clients tell us feeling comfortable about retirement is mainly about knowing “Can I retire when I want and have enough for long enough?!”

“Enough” is different for everyone and can change over time. We can also influence “Enough” by proactively suggesting strategies to not only maximise the years leading into your retirement, but the decades prior to this, so you aren’t left wanting with no time to act.

We complete and provide you with detailed financial projections, giving insight into what kind of life you can expect to live. We make sure there is enough to last so that you don’t fall short, while creating options if there is a gap.

All of this is provided in a way to balance the life you want to live tomorrow without sacrificing the life you want today.

Typically, financial planners love to show portfolio reports and take inventory of your current assets and liabilities, with little discussion as to how this actually impacts your life for better or worse.

Our focus is on providing regular progress updates to you celebrate your successes, make course corrections if things have changed or aren’t important to you now, and proactively review your financial products and strategies.

All of this is to provide you a sense of working towards an outcome rather than just talking about it, while recognising just how far you’ve come along the way.

We don’t like to be too ostentatious with our claims, but we do offer a highly competitive option for those who need an honest, genuine and truly supportive financial advisor in Brisbane.

Of course, the quality of our service shows is reflected in the results. 

We strive to provide our clients with nothing but the best, and we believe that shows through in the real feedback that we receive (which you can see above) and our numerous industry awards.

We also have a high client retention rate, so we must be doing something right!
