Just completed another annual review with Dan at Approved Financial Planners. It is so nice to see such positive and pleasing results as presented by Dan and to know our financial planning is in good hands. Ongoing planning and advice from Dan is always welcoming and if Dan is not available, we have found Christa the office manager always willing and able to assist and deal with any queries we may have. So, needing a financial adviser then contact Dan and his team at Approved Financial Planners

Thanks Dan and Staff for the annual review. The forecasting for retirement and the software used was very illustrative and useful to understand. Growth in funds and super has been robust in the last 12 months and advice for the next 12 months taken on board. Look fwd to making a few tweaks to the portfolio once the report is completed.

He offers a comprehensive yearly review of my investment portfolio, pension balance, cash flow & estate planning. Dan stays up to date with current trends in finance which gives me confidence that my financial plan is aligned with current best practices.

Hi People - just a quick note letting everyone know that AFP have been nothing but totally professional with my business over the past few years. Tracey has been my latest advisor and I have nothing but praise for her friendliness, approachability and advice covering everything from the value of second-hand cars to having my will updated.

Daniel has been providing me with Financial Planning for several years now. My financial literacy is pretty poor so it's great to work with someone who explains things in a manner that is easy to understand. I'm a visual person, so I like that he is able to plug figures into charts and quickly show me the outcomes of various scenarios. Daniel is gives great advice, is realistic about my goals and is also an easy person to talk to.

We have been clients of Approved Financial Planners since 2018, and we couldn’t be happier with the service they’ve provided over the years. Daniel Stevens has been an exceptional adviser, making us feel like so much more than just clients. His advice has been instrumental in our financial growth, helping us stay focused on achievable goals while always keeping our best interests at heart.

One of the highlights of working with Daniel is the annual catch-up—he takes the time to truly understand where we are in our financial journey and provides tailored advice to keep us on track. It’s clear how much he genuinely cares about helping us reach our goals.

Having worked with Approved Financial Planners for years, we can confidently say their expertise and dedication have made a significant difference in our lives. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for professional, personalised financial advice.

I have know Andy Van Geyzel since June 2013, and in that time I have come to trust him and his financial advice. I find in any relationship personal as well as professional respect and trust is important. Andy is kind respectful, really cares about his clients, and it shows. This is an expanded review. My adviser is now a delightful person a living legend 🙂 Tracey Corbett, previous Agents Andy and Raf and now Tracey instill trust in people who are their clients, that is a rare quality gift. Support staff, they know who they are a treasure are brilliant at their jobs. Until proven otherwise, everyone at Approved Financial Planner really care about people, and it shows.

We met with Tracey Corbett on Monday night the 9th September. Tracey has a perfect balance of being friendly and remaining professional. This is so important in this digital age where we don't all "subscribe" to the virtual meeting, but require the face to face time, so any questions or issues can be discussed, clarified and corrected.
Despite meeting in the late afternoon Tracy had all the time in the world, and at no point did we feel "rushed"
We can highly recommend Tracy as your advisor!!!

There is significant uncertainty in the economy and Daniel devised an investment plan that suited to our particular needs as we approach retirement.
