On every visit we have with Hock it always educational and enjoyable. He always ensures we fully understand our investments and tax strategies. He has a strong desire to educate and inform both me and my wife. He is genuinely excited about saving us tax and planning for our future, even though our numbers are probably a lot smaller than his usual clients.

We first visited Hock at a time of uncertainty where we were considering multiple options to better secure our financial future. Hock was patient in talking through our options, taking the time to understand our needs. He provided multiple investment and superannuation options, educating us through the process so as we understood each strategy, working towards being able to better manage our money independently. We benefited with Hock working in cooperation with other financial service providers to provide further advice across our complete financial situation. We are very satisfied with the advice provided by Hock, feel confident of our financial future and would have no hesitation in recommending him to others.

Hock gave me advice in relation to my superannuation and my husband's superannuation. His advice helped me to make choices/decisions that best suited my personal circumstances. We were able to talk through different scenarios and options, as well as work out some strategies for the coming years to achieve the best possible outcomes. The advice given was exactly what I was looking for and provided in a timely manner.

Hock has given me ongoing excellent advice in relation to paying off a loan, investing in super and managing it. He always explains things in a clear way and I have found that he has educated me about financial matters over time. I feel very confident that the advice Hock has given me will reap rewards. I have already paid off a mortgage in a very short period of time and then built savings for the future. i always receive Hock's full care and attention every time i need it.
