• George Graham July 2020

  I have been using Anthony Stedman at Lifetime Financial Group for almost 4 years now.
  After working as an Expat in Australia for many years I knew basically nothing about Australian Super .
  
  Turns out I didn’t need to, because Anthony sorted out everything , from arranging initial transfer of funds from my UK pension scheme to non concessional payments etc to build an SMSF that now supports my retirement needs.
  
  Anthony tailors my fund after taking into account my requirements for income as well as my appetite for risk.
  His advice to me has been excellent and on many occasions has gone beyond just financial planning into sharing life experiences that have been excellent in my avoiding pitfalls.
  
  In the current financial turmoil we find ourselves in it is important to have your interests looked after by someone whose judgement you trust, I am so grateful to have had Anthony recommended to me 4 years ago .
  Initially I was attracted by the truly competitive rates he was charging for his services , but the attraction has grown to be so much more than that .

• Daniel B January 2020

  We are really lucky to have found Anthony and the team at Lifetime
  
  Total professionals, responsive and consistent with advice.
  
  Incredible support in Australia, and the 20+ years I’ve been living/working outside Australia.
  
  They break down the risks, fees for investments/insurances/planning and the reality of life experiences (related to family costs, etc…) Never let us down, and been firm and blunt when we sought high-risk options. Then leave us to decide.
  
  But beyond all that – they really do care about us as clients and give a level of service like a mentor or a wise uncle/aunt would. You can't fake sincerity and passion.

A very well run and professional business.

His advice has been exemplary, and I strive to ensure I follow his recommendations. We have regular reviews, through emails, phone calls and face to face meetings.
