Over the course of about 3 years we have become so comfortable with Luke we feel like we are talking to family when we meet. Luke has been honest and straight forward from when we first met and has certainly led us in the right direction in preparation for retirement. Luke always responds quickly when we have a query and is very patient with our quirky ideas. We are very grateful for our relationship with Luke.

We had a great experience with our last visit, now that hubby is 67yrs of age, they guided us in a few ways to repay our 2 loans. We couldn’t be happier and alot less stress considering, Warren couldn’t receive his full pension because I’m still working. We highly recommend Direct Wealth to anyone who wants financial advice of any kind. Very professional and understanding. Many thanks to Peter for many years and to Jason, who is now looking after us.
Cheers, Ronona and Warren Cuffe

Can’t speak highly enough of the advise that Joel & the team at Direct Wealth have supplied. Joel is always available when we need to contact him & answers our questions with ease. We have delt in the past with other super companies & have found Direct Wealth the easiest & most professional to deal with, we have no hesitation in recommending Joel & Direct Wealth to our friends & family.

My husband and I couldn’t recommend Luke highly enough to look after your financial dealings for your retirement. We feel in good hands with his vast knowledge and his amazing ability to provide us with prompt advice. Luke is astute and has great personality, our catch-ups are never boring 😊

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.

my wife and myself were introduced to Ben Marlow of Direct Wealth for a discussion on looking after our superannuation & pension requirements. I was a little doubtful at first as the fund i was with was performing ok for me. Ben gave us his background on financial planning and we had a second meeting with Ben. After this meeting my wife and myself decided to let Direct Wealth look after our finances. We could not be more pleased with our switch to Direct Wealth as the team there are so helpful and keeping us informed on our financial matters. I would recommend to anyone Direct Wealth for looking after their financial planning.

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.

I was impressed with the level of service and knowledge Lyle and the office team offered me for the obtaining of my first home loan!
Overall, the financial advice I received was invaluable in securing my first home loan! I highly recommend calling Sally to arrange an appointment with Lyle for a master in professional advice for any significant financial commitment or goal!

Cannot recommend them highly enough.

I had a fantastic experience with Direct Wealth! From the very beginning, I felt comfortable with the entire process. Kirsty and the team were professional, knowledgeable, and always available to answer my questions. They took the time to understand my needs and provided tailored advice that I could trust. I highly recommend Direct Wealth to anyone looking for expert financial guidance. Thank you for your exceptional service.

The Direct Wealth team were a pleasure to deal with. Kirsty was efficient and extremely flexible with fitting in around my work schedule.

Kirsty broke everything down and made the entire process seamless. Kirsty communicated everything clearly and walked me through step by step which I am so thankful for.

I couldn’t recommend highly enough!

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.

Our association with Luke Youd began around 5 years ago. His advice, guidance and expertise has steered us safely, successfully and profitably to a great semi retired lifestyle, arguably, 10 years or potentially more, ahead of schedule. We count ourselves very fortunate to have Luke in our corner. He has our sincerest thanks. If there were more stars we’d click everyone of them.
google
Always very helpful and prompt in taking care of our needs. Provide good information on handling of our accounts.

I’d give more stars if I could…the best service ever! Caillin and Ben H. went above and beyond for me…I couldn’t be happier! Thanks so much for all your hard work! I would highly recommend Direct Wealth…especially Ben and Caillin!

Sam and Ella were excellent in providing general information for my parents who are looking to retire. Whilst we aren’t at the stage to utilise the service we are very impressed by their professionalism and genuine care.

My wife and I have had Lyle as a financial advisor for a number of years and watched our portfolio grow. Lyle consistently provides us with excellent advice and his communication is outstanding. He provides us with constant support with the correct guidance extremely quickly when needed.
I have recommended many personnel to Lyle. The feedback I obtain from these personnel is that Lyle is excellent.

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 🙂
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 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.

Very knowledgeable and experienced team. Provided very professional advice & information & I would highly recommend.

My wife Jackie & I have recently completed an annual review with Kirsty. Whilst we have been looked after by Kirsty for a few years now we continue to be impressed with her knowledge, professionalism & lovely outgoing manner.

We have been working with Brett for some years. We first met Brett when we were in need of assistance with super and he helped us navigate our way to the happy future we have today. We have since undertaken full financial planning with Direct Wealth and we are immensely pleased with the guidance and advice. I could not recommend a better financial planner to assist manage your future.

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.

I recently had a follow up meeting with Luke Youd who has now joined the Direct Wealth team. As usual the meeting with Luke was very informative and he is always generous with his time to explain things to me – regardless of how obscure my questions might be.

I have great confidence in my dealings with Luke going forward and also with the friendly Direct Wealth staff in general, who are helpful and proactive with their communications with their clients.

More than happy with Ben’s service. Worked with him for 3 years planning retirement, and I’m now making the transition next month! Very excited and looking forward to working with Direct Wealth moving forward!

Ben Marlow was initially thrust upon us after the amalgamation of our accountants with Direct Wealth and this is without doubt one of the best financial outcomes to have happened to my wife and I. Initially I was sceptical of his enthusiasm and apparent desire to nurture and improve our financial stability moving towards retirement. Ben has tailored his communication style to not only be relatable to us but also educational and has further embedded our trust in his advice with proven outcomes. I would absolutely recommend Ben to any prospective client.

I had an excellent experience with Direct Wealth and Kirsty in setting up my personal insurances. The team are incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to understand my unique needs and circumstances. She explained all my options clearly and helped me choose the best coverage to protect myself and my family. The process was seamless, and I felt confident and well-informed every step of the way.

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!

Our circumstances changed and we needed advice fast. Lyle took the worry and panic away by setting up our portfolio to ensure our future is protected.
Lyle is professional, courteous and truly cares about his clients. His knowledge is exceptional and he is efficient.
Our family has total trust in Lyle and the team at Direct Wealth, knowing that they have our best interests in mind.

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.
