I have known Michael for a couple of decades and have found the team at Bountiful Wealth, knowledgeable, approachable, and great value for money.
Let's face it, you get what you pay for, and NO ONE can afford to get their choice of Financial Advisor wrong.

Mark White

I have been with my financial advisers since arriving in Australia in 2003 and had long and fruitful relationships with the 3 financial managers that I have had. Michael and his team are friendly, methodical, and efficient. The advice that is offered is tailored to your specific needs. In my time I have had to transfer multiple overseas pension funds to Australia, manage the sale and reinvestment of rental properties and transfer to retirement for both my wife and I due to ill health. The majority of this has happened in the last 4 years or so with Michael guiding us along the way. If you want someone with YOUR wealth as their main concern, I recommend Bountiful Wealth.

Russ Noonan

Mark has always contacted me personally whenever it is required or as a check-up. This is usually done over the phone with a follow up message by email. When I have contacted the office with a query he has always called back with the advice for the problem. When going over the information in his office, the information was well presented on the large screen in front of us. This made it easy to see what was being discussed and how it impacts on me. So far this has been very helpful in all aspects of the portfolio/superannuation. Mark is always very polite and calm when dealing with me.

Steve

With the help of a large screen, Mark made it easier for us to understand how he was going to make our investment grow.
