We had a fantastic experience with Rhys and couldn’t recommend him highly enough. He was knowledgeable, responsive and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process.

Rhys explained everything clearly, kept us updated at every stage and was always quick to answer questions. He made the whole process feel straightforward and stress free, and we always felt confident that everything was being taken care of.

Professional, approachable and genuinely great to deal with. We would absolutely use Rhys again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great mortgage broker.

We have been working with Matt and Jordan for the last 6 years, during that time, we have successfully transitioned into retirement with their advice and guidance. We highly recommend CCW Advisory.

I'm relatively new to CCW and have only just started my retirement, so it's a bit too soon to talk about how successful the investment strategies will be. That said, I am very confident that they will be successful, based on the experience and wide industry knowledge that Ross brings to the program, and the eye for detail that Jordan had demonstrated over the short time I've been with them. I love that Ross is most passionate when he talks about the human side of retirement - it's not just a financial journey but an intensely personal one as well, full of changes that I hadn't thought about. I feel extremely well supported by CCW as I start that journey.

I would highly recommend any first home buyers looking for a mortgage broker to choose Rhys from Community Chapman Welsh. Over a 3 year journey to purchase a property, Rhys provided the greatest level of support, industry expertise and understanding of the goal. From analysing our starting situation, to putting a savings plan in place, to pre-approval and settlement, every stage was made seamless thanks to Rhys and Lisa. We even ended up buying interstate, so this review is for all of Australia. Thank you so much team, you are the best!

Stephen Reynolds was recommended to me when I was looking for assistance planning for my retirement. From our first meeting, Stephen listened, asked questions, provided options and advice and built a plan to suit my needs for a comfortable retirement.

I highly recommend Stephen for retirement planning.

We were introduced to Stephen Reynolds some 6-7 years ago when we were seeking financial advice related to early retirement.

As well as being a great bloke, Stephen has been an invaluable asset to us, providing ongoing, reliable, easy to understand, timely, professional, solid and sound financial advice.

The advice we have received over these years has varied from job redundancy, retirement planning and timing, superannuation (including establishing an SMSF), investment strategies, property purchases and divestments, taxation, estate planning, accounting and government/centrelink benefits.

Always cheerful and a pleasure to have a chat with, he makes himself available for consultation or to bounce ideas/questions/concerns off, sometimes at very short notice. He also has a memory like a steel trap. In fact it would be true to say we’d be lost without him!

We would recommend him highly if you're searching for a top form financial advisor.

After initially being recommended by a work college, we made an appointment with Chapman Welsh and there started our association with our financial advisor, Stephen Reynolds. From that day, we have been nothing short of totally satisfied by the whole financial process. From his extremely pleasant approach, to his ongoing professionalism, it has been a delight to deal with him on our financial matters.
As we have already done, we have no hesitations in recommending his service to family and friends as our future is much brighter now and yours should be too.
Call and talk to Stephen now !! You won't regret it.

After being introduced to Ross and Jordan 5 years ago, we have been extremely happy with the advice and recommendations made by them. Both are down to earth people who speak language that is easy to understand in a world that can be confusing when it comes to retirement planning. They have provided us with confidence that our plans for retirement are on track and achievable. I would highly recommend both of them to any prospective clients.
