WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING
Reviews
My meeting with Daniel was very positive as we discussed a range of issues in relation to my superannuation and my financial and personal health which were pertinent to me. Also looked at what if cash flow scenarios in regard to bookkeeping opportunities and creating a new super fund if matters come to pass. Also the coffee and biscuits were great.
Dan genuinely cares about my personal circumstances and supports my finacial goals as an individual with specific needs.
The team at Approved Financial Planners has been amazing in supporting and guiding us through the development of a financial plan for our future. From the beginning, they took the time to truly understand our goals and objectives, making us feel heard and valued.
What stood out was their ability to present tailored scenarios with adjustable factors, helping us make informed decisions with confidence. They also went above and beyond by assisting with the implementation of important elements such as insurance and wills, giving us peace of mind that our family's assets are protected in case of the unexpected.
We’re incredibly grateful for their professionalism, care, and expertise. Highly recommend their services to anyone looking for reliable and thoughtful financial planning.

I have been with Approved Financial Planners for a long time now. Great Advice and service. Tracey has a wealth of knowledge and has helped me achieve my financial goals with ease.
On March 6 both Cindy and I had our annual financial review with Approved Financial Planners in Floreat WA. Our financial planner is Tracey Corbett and this is our second year where Tracey has been our planner and her advice has been very informative and is explained in such a way that both Cindy and I can understand. All sections of both our financial plans were presented and explained in lay-man terms.
We are both looking forward to seeing Tracey next year for our next review.

I am extremely satisfied with the services provided by Tracey at Approved Financial Planners. I appreciate the attention to details, the follow up, the prompt responses, the patience in assessing and explaining options. I also appreciate the attention to customer also provided by the rest of the team. Highly recommended !
Just completed another annual review with Dan at Approved Financial Planners. It is so nice to see such positive and pleasing results as presented by Dan and to know our financial planning is in good hands. Ongoing planning and advice from Dan is always welcoming and if Dan is not available, we have found Christa the office manager always willing and able to assist and deal with any queries we may have. So, needing a financial adviser then contact Dan and his team at Approved Financial Planners

Thanks Dan and Staff for the annual review. The forecasting for retirement and the software used was very illustrative and useful to understand. Growth in funds and super has been robust in the last 12 months and advice for the next 12 months taken on board. Look fwd to making a few tweaks to the portfolio once the report is completed.
I've been working with Dan for over 10 years & I have been consistently impressed with his level of professionalism and expertise.
He offers a comprehensive yearly review of my investment portfolio, pension balance, cash flow & estate planning. Dan stays up to date with current trends in finance which gives me confidence that my financial plan is aligned with current best practices.
I appreciate his strategies to maximise my superannuation, ensuring I'm on track for the future.
I also want to mention the support from his team, they are friendly & professional.
I highly recommend Dan.

Hi People - just a quick note letting everyone know that AFP have been nothing but totally professional with my business over the past few years. Tracey has been my latest advisor and I have nothing but praise for her friendliness, approachability and advice covering everything from the value of second-hand cars to having my will updated.
Tracey is our new planner. We find her to be friendly and very down to earth. We appreciate having things explained in terms we understand. We hope to have a long relationship with her in her role as our financial planner.
Attended a meeting with Tracey Corbett to review financial situation. Meeting went well, Tracey is always very helpful and would recommend Approved Financial Planners to anyone seeking financial advice.
We are happy with their service and their advice. We followed their recommendations and we now have achieved our goals in the short term. We recommend them.
Daniel has been providing me with Financial Planning for several years now. My financial literacy is pretty poor so it's great to work with someone who explains things in a manner that is easy to understand. I'm a visual person, so I like that he is able to plug figures into charts and quickly show me the outcomes of various scenarios. Daniel is gives great advice, is realistic about my goals and is also an easy person to talk to.
We have been clients of Approved Financial Planners since 2018, and we couldn’t be happier with the service they’ve provided over the years. Daniel Stevens has been an exceptional adviser, making us feel like so much more than just clients. His advice has been instrumental in our financial growth, helping us stay focused on achievable goals while always keeping our best interests at heart.
One of the highlights of working with Daniel is the annual catch-up—he takes the time to truly understand where we are in our financial journey and provides tailored advice to keep us on track. It’s clear how much he genuinely cares about helping us reach our goals.
Having worked with Approved Financial Planners for years, we can confidently say their expertise and dedication have made a significant difference in our lives. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for professional, personalised financial advice.

A relaxing experience for such a burdening issue. Tracey and her team have welcomed us to her flock with an attitude rarely seen these days, 'anything is possible'. Thankyou for making our finances seem 'too easy'. We will recommend this Company to all that need financial help.
We have been with Approved Financial Planners for a few years now, after being referred by a family member.
We have found the staff to be attentive, knowledgeable and approachable at all times.

We have been consulting with Dan and the team at Approved for several years now and have been very pleased with the level of service. They have gone above and beyond to make sure we receive up to date advice and plan financially what is best for our current situation. The team's industry knowledge and attention to detail allows for strong communication and trust in the process. Approved's online portal also provides an easy to use platform for predictions, goals and portfolio snapshots. Highly recommend Approved Financial Planners for all your financial planning needs.
Daniel has assisted us in our financial strategies for over a decade. We are business owners and our circumstances have changed often over the years. With Dan's deep knowledge, professionalism and genuine care of our well-being, his advice has been invaluable. Our annual reviews have become more like catching up with a genuine trusted friend.
Dan and the team at Approved FP have looked after me really well for the past several years and I highly recommend them. They provide sound financial advice and are well organised with all the documents which gives me great comfort knowing that my future is in good hands!
I have know Andy Van Geyzel since June 2013, and in that time I have come to trust him and his financial advice. I find in any relationship personal as well as professional respect and trust is important. Andy is kind respectful, really cares about his clients, and it shows. This is an expanded review. My adviser is now a delightful person a living legend 🙂 Tracey Corbett, previous Agents Andy and Raf and now Tracey instill trust in people who are their clients, that is a rare quality gift. Support staff, they know who they are a treasure are brilliant at their jobs. Until proven otherwise, everyone at Approved Financial Planner really care about people, and it shows.
We met with Tracey Corbett on Monday night the 9th September. Tracey has a perfect balance of being friendly and remaining professional. This is so important in this digital age where we don't all "subscribe" to the virtual meeting, but require the face to face time, so any questions or issues can be discussed, clarified and corrected.
Despite meeting in the late afternoon Tracy had all the time in the world, and at no point did we feel "rushed"
We can highly recommend Tracy as your advisor!!!

Our experience with Daniel was excellent. He is very knowlegeable and clearly explained the investement options available to us including both the short and long term implications of asset growth. There is significant uncertainty in the economy and Daniel devised an investment plan that suited to our particular needs as we approach retirement.
Thanks Tracey for your knowledgable advice and keeping us on the right track through our retirement. You answered our questions beautifully and put us at ease. We can confidently recommend Approved Financial Planners to our friends in the knowledge they will give honest and professional advice.
I write this review, with my heartfelt thanks for the professional, caring assistance given to me by Approved Financial Planners, following the death of my husband in January this year.
Our financial planner, Tracey Corbett, provided invaluable assistance steering my family through the paperwork required to settle my late husband's estate. Her caring, professional approach helped me negotiate the more difficult financial aspects of this task by offering time and support that was most appreciated.
My husband's passing has dramatically changed our circumstances and at this time of review, Tracey's planning skills are clearly evident as we chart my way forward. In the the following months I will be confident to proceed, knowing that the support of Approved Financial Planners staff, especially that of Tracey, will enable me to achieve a sound financial future.
