“Kearsten and Cynthia at Addi House have been approachably professional in all of our (online) meetings. My husband and I have gained much peace of mind in having the support of an unbiased financial advisor who has our best interests and wishes forefront in planning for our transition to retirement. They are on the ball with changes to the finance laws and how that affects our super, investments etc, and are proactive in supporting us to make the changes required with our banking and superannuation infrastructure. As a (contractor) medical professional with a non-salaried position and fluctuating income, I have always struggled with standard financial advice. The team at Addi house "get" my circumstances, and I am grateful that I found them, even though they are 800km away from my home. ”

David R
“Kearsten and Cynthia have been my financial planners for a year now and we've found them to be exceptionally valuable to helping us getting our ducks in a row and feeling better prepared for the future. Their advice always takes into account our short term and long term goals. Knowing that someone is keeping an eye on where we want to be long-term, even while our short-term plans might change, makes me feel confident that we're still heading in the right direction. They've given us reassurance, helped us make better decisions, and helped us put back-up plans in place for any curve balls life might throw at us.
I previously worked with Kearsten and Cynthia for several years and always valued their integrity, honesty and passion. When it was time for me to find my own financial planner, I knew that I wanted to work with them. Their independent, unbiased advice model, and refusal of commissions means that I can trust the advice being given is tailored to me and my situation, and isn't just based on what will give them the best commission. I'm looking forward to working with them for many years to come! ”
