Clients Stories

Financial goals are different for everyone, so we ask our clients what is important to them… “What do I want from life? What are my dreams and hopes for my family?

  • Some want to see how they can pay down debt quicker
  • Families who want to send their children to private schools and save for possible tertiary education
  • Often retirement is on the Horizon and they are looking forward to travelling, a few have come to us with plans to buy a caravan and take off for a few months
  • A common theme is family – many pre-retirees are cutting back at work to look after their grandchildren and want to make sure they can afford to do this, and spoil the grandchildren as much as possible
  • Clients wanting to start a small business so need advice about funding their venture as well as making sure they can afford to give up full time work while they focus on their new business.

Our 6 Life Journeys helps clients see what stage they are at in their life.  Lets see what our clients had to say about their journey with us.


"I found the meeting with Scott and Shaun very interesting. Everything was explained very clearly and questions that I asked were answered exceptionally well. I felt quite comfortable listening to Scott and Shaun. They did not have to stop and think how to reply to anything that I asked. Please pass on my thanks to both Scott and Shaun for making me feel very welcome. I left Horizons Wealth feeling very happy with my interview and all the results." - Lyn

"Two years ago my life changed suddenly with the unexpected death of my husband and I found myself in a situation I was not in the least prepared for. I had very little experience of financial matters and thus no idea how to manage the situation I found myself in for the best outcome."

"Horizons Wealth were recommended to me and they have more than lived up to that recommendation. They were able to put in place a superannuation pension and advise me on my transition to retirement requirements to maximize my contributions. This plan will more than meet my needs and I feel very secure about my financial future."

"Throughout this process they were professional, supportive, kept me updated on progress and made sure I understood what I was putting in place. I would have no hesitation in recommending Horizons Wealth to anyone who finds themselves in need of professional, ethical, impartial financial advice." - Meredith 2018
