Tara, 46 - 55 years, Ross Creek, VIC
"Arlan is friendly and thoughtful, knowing I’m going through a tough time with my separation. Whenever I ask for help, he responds immediately. I was surprised he replied over the weekend telling me to relax and that he’ll look into it on Monday, and then I had an email on Monday to ease my mind. Great job Arlan, and thank you."

Janine, 56 - 65 years, Ararat, VIC
"When we first decided to look for a financial adviser, we were unsure where to start. We contacted Arlan to have a chat to him about our future financial needs, we found him down to earth and easy to follow. He explained to us our options leading into transition to retirement and growing our wealth, making sure we understood the full benefits & risks with suggestion he made. We decided to give our portfolio to Arlan over 2 years ago as his knowledge of the current trends, regulations & growth for our investments is unbeatable, and we have not looked back since. He is very approachable on even the simplest of questions, and prompt to reply to calls or messages. We would highly recommend his services to anybody."
