After reaching a crossroad in my financial life I felt the need to consult with a Financial Advisor, and not knowing which way to turn, Robert’s name was mentioned. Having already had some unfavourable experiences with other Advisors in Melbourne, I was initially hesitant to try “another one” when I found myself having to make a significant financial decision quickly. I contacted Robert for advice. As a novice (and still am) Robert’s ability to clearly explain what and how he would take me forward put me at ease and filled me with confidence. Since then, I have had nothing but good consultation from Robert and his wonderful and experienced team. Their approachability, friendliness and trustworthy professionalism is the best around.

I was finding it increasingly time consuming to manage our investment portfolio. By engaging Consortium Private Wealth administration and advice service’s it has now resulted in significant time savings, reduced administration, and increased transparency. Easy access via the web site ensures the ability to monitor the progress of our investments and maintain control over our finances without the worry of the day-to-day administration. 

A number of years ago, a friend of mine in the Wimmera strongly recommended that I contact a Robert Goudie in Horsham to discuss my retirement plans as I had mentioned that I was thinking of retiring in the next 8 to 10 years. At the time I was employed as Public Servant in Melbourne and made contact with Rob, an appointment was arranged, and it has now turned out to be the best I have ever made. My financial skills had been very limited and after a couple of visits Rob had me on a plan that was very easy to understand and was always available to discuss any issues, I had with my Statement of Advice that he had written for me. When in Melbourne he would always ring and give me the opportunity to meet with him to discuss my financial plans. I have found the whole team at Consortium Private Wealth very approachable and friendly, and I firmly recommend the professionalism shown by Rob and all his staff. I have now retired and living in Perth (W.A.) and I am still proud to say that I am a clint.

I am an auditor of and mentor to, financial planning businesses throughout Australia. To this extent I have provided consulting services to some 31 Australian Financial Services Licence Holders reviewing the activities of some 800 financial advisers. Occasionally I come into contact with a business whose method of operation deserves particular mention. Consortium Private Wealth in Horsham is one of those businesses. It is worth extracting a comment of mine from my most recent review report. “This is an excellent business, extremely well resourced with excellent support staff and an impressive presentation in the community.” Robert provides both holistic and targeted financial planning advice to suit the wide variety of the needs of his clients in order to help them to realise their personal and financial goals. I have no hesitation in recommending Robert to anyone who seeks guidance in financial matters. 

Over a period of 15 years, Robert has managed and taken care of any of my financial concerns and given me clear explanations regarding my situation, always offering sound advice. Robert has gone beyond the ‘call of duty’ in many instances for me. His professionalism is outstanding, and I would not hesitate to recommend his services together with his team. If you are looking for trustworthy financial advice, then Robert Goudie at Consortium Private Wealth is the person to see. 

When we retired and sold the farm, we needed someone to help us with our finances to see us through the rest of our lives. We spoke to Robert Goudie and found him to be very understanding and approachable. He made sure he took the time to explain all aspects of his advice and showed great patience in his explanation during the times that we didn’t understand something at first. He has a very caring manner and made sure he identified all of our needs. Robert is reliable, approachable, and trustworthy, all the things you need in someone who is going to be involved in your business for a very long time. We have recommended Robert to our friends and family and are confident to do so. 

The important thing for us was to find some flexibility which allowed us to secure our lifestyles appropriately whilst not being too damaging to our weekly financial allowances. After working closely with Ashley, the suitable services were found. The process which Consortium Private Wealth developed to work with us allowed us to feel comfortable and confident throughout. We were continuously communicated with and provided with a number of options which allowed us to achieve a very satisfactory outcome. We continue to be impressed with the professionalism of the Consortium Private Wealth team and we look forward to continuing our relationship and are comfortable in recommending others to also turn to Consortium Private Wealth for their financial solutions. 

Overall, an excellent 5 years of performance as a trusted financial adviser. A 10 Star Rating 

Robert and his team at Consortium Private Wealth were a great find for us. When looking for advice on financial planning, we were immediately put at ease by Robert’s professional manner, degree of understanding of our needs and his helpful advice on how best to achieve our goals. Robert took the time to fully understand our position and continues to give us valuable advice and insight into the best way to achieve our goals. We would happily recommend Robert and the Consortium Private Wealth team in Horsham to anyone looking for personalised financial advice. 

Ashley is very efficient and knowledgeable with a friendly approach in helping with parents aged care requirements. 

My wife Fiona and I have been clients of Rob Goudie for just over 12 months. We have found his advice has been common sense, his understanding of our needs is comprehensive and his attitude both friendly and professional. We have a young family and our confidence in Rob has meant we have peace of mind about our financial affairs. Rob is a realist, he knows he won’t get everything right all the time, but the principles that are laid out at the beginning mean we know we are on the same wavelength. This means we get to spend more time on the trampoline with the kids than trying to make sense of the ever changing domestic and global investment environment. 

We are very confident & comfortable in Rob’s advice; he is pleasant, and we would recommend his advice to anyone. He also manages our son’s financial affairs, and they are very happy about Rob’s advice. It is pleasing to us as Russell’s parents that his financial future is in fine hands. 

I found Ashley to be an effective communicator and very understanding of my needs. 

Robert Goudie has been our adviser for seventeen years, so we have no hesitation in recommending his financial services. We have high confidence with Robert and his staff as they are honest, pleasant and have good integrity. Nothing seems to bother them. It is a pleasure to talk with Robert as he talks in a financial language we can understand. 

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. 

We have always found Rob to be helpful and courteous, no question is too small or difficult. Always up to date with strategies and advice. The weekly updates and alerts are informative and timely, and we appreciate the personal advice and insight he and his team provide. 

I’ve always found Rob to be very knowledgeable and helpful. What I like best is that it doesn’t matter if you’re one of the richest people around, or a battler – he treats everyone equally. The same applies if you have a simple little question or need in depth advise. 

Ashley provided us with very valuable and timely financial advice when our mother moved into an aged care facility as a permanent resident. The information has assisted us to ensure that Mum’s existing assets are protected and that she is receiving the maximum Centrelink benefits that she is eligible for. 

All my experiences with Robert and Ashley have been very good, and with Robert organising my retirement plans has been very rewarding over the years. Ashley has been very helpful regarding aged care affairs also. 

I would like to congratulate you on winning the Services-Professional category at the 2014 Wimmera Business Awards held at the Wimmera Events Centre. This award is a testament to the hard work by you and your team in providing people of Horsham and indeed the region with not only specialist financial planning but also excellent customer service. I am aware, from personal experience, that the team at Consortium Private Wealth are passionate about their business and confident and professional in their friendly approach to clients. 

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. 

On the suggestion from our accountant that we needed a financial health checkup, we were directed to Rob Goudie at Consortium Private Wealth. Rob took the time to listen to our family/business circumstance. He has been able to review & update our insurances/income protection. The whole team have been welcoming, friendly & accessible. We feel more at ease with the direction our finances are going and are very keen to be included in future investment/finance seminars. I think the best outcome is being able to deal with someone local who is easily contactable. All round, a really pleasant and easy experience! 

Rob Goudie’s professional, yet friendly approach to his clients is highly recommended. His specialised computer program allows us to check the daily activity of our investment with ease. We are confident in associating our business with Rob, because of his honesty and integrity; we have no hesitation in recommending Rob (and his staff) to implement an effective and compatible ‘financial future’ for you. 

We have found Robert to be a genuine and honest adviser who uses a careful approach to handling our retirement superannuation. He is friendly and approachable, and his manner instils confidence that he is working for the best possible outcome for us.
