I am a self-funded retiree and met with Chris to discuss some superannuation matters. I found him to be very knowledgeable and helpful. He was able to explain in layman terms the information that I needed. Would definitely recommend.

Finally I found a financial advisor who isn't selling their own products! Chris is truly an independent financial planner who listened carefully to our wishes and took the time to understand our goals. The plan he has developed for us is straightforward to implement and thoughtfully structured to maximise our assets, providing greater financial security. We really appreciate his professional, personalised approach and would happily recommend Chris to anyone looking for independent financial advice.

We’ve utilised Chris’s services on a number of occasions and have always felt that we received honest, impartial advice. Chris takes the time to listen and carefully considers your individual circumstances before making his recommendations. He also provides alternative strategies that take into account your personal risk tolerance, allowing you to make informed decisions with confidence. We highly recommend Chris for his professionalism, knowledge and personalised approach.

Met with Chris yesterday for some general advice about financial issues and Superannuation. Found him to be knowledgeable and easy to talk to. He was happy to answer my questions and explain any aspects I didn't grasp. A very positive experience and I happily recommend him.

Aren't all financial advisors the same? No not really! I am not an expert in financial advice, but I am a different variety of career professional who has always used my experience to help people to the best of my ability. This is what I saw in Chris Cornish. This is what you need to know when you choose your financial advisor. Thanks for your time and advice Chris, we'll see you again!

Our meeting with Chris was informative and easy to follow. We are downsizing and sought a financial appraisal. A few discrepancies that we were unaware of were pointed out and guidance given. The 'Downsizer Contribution to Superannuation' options were explained and excellent direction given. Very impressed with his understanding, delivery, manner and every confidence in Chris. Thank you!
