Ashley helped me to work through the maze of funding life in the aged care facility and the best strategies to put in place without eroding any savings my Dad had accumulated.
Being clients of Robert Goudie’s for a number of years now, we have always found him and his staff’s professionalism and customer service to be of the highest standard. We first spoke to Robert in 2003 when we decided to retire from farming. After the very first visit we had great confidence in his planning skills and immediately had him draw up a financial plan which suited us. To this date we are extremely happy with the excellent service he provides. We have recommended Robert to many of our friends and have great confidence in recommending him to anybody in the future.
Ashley assisted our mother to settle into aged care. He was very professional with his advice and went above and beyond to assist Mum. We are very satisfied with Ashley and would have no hesitation in recommending him to others.
Ash was very down to earth and friendly, he had excellent listening skills and gave professional, informative advice. Ash has life skills that made us feel he understood. We should have done this years ago.
“Ashley was able to clearly explain the financial implications associated with Permanent Residential Care, for my brother in the West Wimmera Health Service’s Rainbow Hostel and suggest the best options currently available. I also appreciate the fact that he sent an email on our behalf to the Financial Administrator for the West Wimmera Health Service advising her of the discussions we had and the rationale behind not completing the Income and Asset Assessment Forms for Centrelink.”
In the time we have had Robert Goudie as our adviser we have always found him friendly and approachable. Robert is always ready to advise, yet there has never been any pressure to follow him. His methods have made for ease of administration of our super investments, even though we live some distance from Horsham. We feel we have full control of our funds with Robert always a willing listener and he has given us confidence to make decisions. Under Robert’s guidance we have seen our investments grow steadily at realistic and satisfactory rates, well above what we would have imagined had we gone it alone. Robert has helped us by giving us a strong understanding of the intricacies of the share market and the benefits of the service he provides.
Big compliments to Rob Goudie and Consortium Private Wealth. While setting up our own business, Robert’s elaborate and ubiquitous advice assisted us in structuring the purchase of the business and business property in a way that minimised the levels of debt and risk taken while providing significant ongoing tax advantages. Robert coordinated and liaised directly and very effectively with the myriad of other financial professionals to ensure that the transaction was completed on time, which allowed us to focus on other important tasks. Robert’s profound understanding of the Self-Managed Superannuation Fund rules and regulations has provided us with the flexibility to utilise our superannuation assets to help achieve our business goals which will most certainly secure our financial future. The efficient staff at Consortium Private Wealth are to be commended for their constant follow-up to ensure that all elements of the complex strategies were pulled together.
