We've been using Financial Spectrum for a few years after they were recommended by a friend in the finance industry. Brenton, Thomas, Alan and the rest of the team are very thorough, efficient, knowledgeable, ethical, genuine and lovely to deal with. All parts of our financial lives are sorted from superannuation and insurance through to the finance of our businesses.

Brenton is a smart, savvy and friendly advisor who has worked closely with me to understand my financial drivers and aspirations, and to create a whole new financial trajectory for my future during the past three years.

Brenton genuinely cares about his clients. He’s the first adviser that I’ve met that’s taken the time to get to know me and understand my goals, challenges, hopes and fears. He’s very empathetic and there isn’t much I haven’t shared with him! Brenton was able to help me with everything I needed, including developing an investment strategy, switching my super to a fund with lower fees, putting insurances in place to protect my son and I, establishing my will and estate plan and changing my business structure to reduce my tax obligations. Thanks to Brenton, all of the financial tasks that have been hanging over my head for years are now all sorted and it feels great! I have so much more clarity and confidence about my current financial position, what I can achieve in the future and what I need to do to get there.

Was sceptical at first but was extremely pleased with every part of my experience. All the staff were friendly and helpful especially Hanna. The planner, Brenton was very knowledgeable and made everything easy for me with little finance knowledge able to understand. Highly recommend for everyone!

We have been clients of Brendon for over a year now and how our lives have changed. Previously we could see no possible way we would be able to retire comfortably and be debt free, but Brendon gave us a road map to get to that point in four years. Twelve months after committing to follow the his road map to retirement we are on course to our retirement. Thank your once again mate you have given us our lives back.

If you want a knowledgeable and honest financial advisor you can trust, I recommend you talk to Brenton Tong of Financial Spectrum. About four years ago when I was considering retiring I needed someone to review our financial situation and tell me if we had enough funds to retire. I searched for a financial advisor that was charging a fee for service rather than taking commission for products sold. My search came up with Financial Spectrum and I have been impressed with Brenton and his team ever since.
