My meeting with Daniel was very positive as we discussed a range of issues in relation to my superannuation and my financial and personal health which were pertinent to me. Also looked at what if cash flow scenarios in regard to bookkeeping opportunities and creating a new super fund if matters come to pass. Also the coffee and biscuits were great.

The team at Approved Financial Planners has been amazing in supporting and guiding us through the development of a financial plan for our future. From the beginning, they took the time to truly understand our goals and objectives, making us feel heard and valued.

What stood out was their ability to present tailored scenarios with adjustable factors, helping us make informed decisions with confidence. They also went above and beyond by assisting with the implementation of important elements such as insurance and wills, giving us peace of mind that our family's assets are protected in case of the unexpected.

We’re incredibly grateful for their professionalism, care, and expertise. Highly recommend their services to anyone looking for reliable and thoughtful financial planning.

On March 6 both Cindy and I had our annual financial review with Approved Financial Planners in Floreat WA. Our financial planner is Tracey Corbett and this is our second year where Tracey has been our planner and her advice has been very informative and is explained in such a way that both Cindy and I can understand. All sections of both our financial plans were presented and explained in lay-man terms.

We are both looking forward to seeing Tracey next year for our next review.

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.

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.
