I've only written one other review in my life because I expect it should be the norm that people do a good job. However, our experiences with WestPac Wealth Partners exceeded our expectations and warranted a shout out! Management of finances is critically important! My husband and I were recommended to WestPac from some friends of ours. We needed an overall comprehensive review of our finances to help plan for retirement. Trusting an entity to make decisions with our life's finances is not something we were just going to do with anybody; therefore, word of mouth was the first test. The financial planner who worked with us had clearly done his homework with the documents we had sent prior to our meeting that included a long list of questions. The nice aspect about WestPac is that finances are considered from a global holistic viewpoint, rather than from just one or two areas. Our planner's insight brought up situations that we had not considered, much less understood how they would affect our finances in the future. That was critical in showing how to grow our portfolio in the best way possible for our individual situation. Certain decisions we thought were right, turned out not to be beneficial for us and our planner took the time to clearly explain (and show) us why. Suffice to say, WestPac has earned our complete trust with the care and knowledge they have shown for us as individuals. Our children are also now being guided by other planners within WestPac who have tailored financial portfolio's to where the children are in their respective lives. Thank you, WestPac, for truly caring about people! read more
