"Phil is very knowledgeable in his work, and is able to explain his views in terms easy to understand. Overall, very helpful and valuable."

"Phil provides useful and relevant advice in a way that I can understand, enabling me to put definite plans in place and feel confident in my choices. He is very knowledgeable and answers even the most basic questions with patience and in an easy to understand manner."

"I saw Phil for a financial check-up appointment to review my investment strategies. I found him to be knowledgeable and friendly, and picked up well what my needs were, consistent with my risk profile. Useful discussion consistent with my desire for a more simplified strategy than I currently have. Happy to recommend him to others based on my experience. Had to wait for the appointment some months. He is obviously popular."

"My appointment with Phil was excellent. He had all the documents prepared and laid out for the meeting. It was relaxed and supportive of my plans and provided solid advice of how I should save, spend and invest."

"I was so grateful Phil was able to fit me in at short notice as I was a bit anxious about potential unemployment for a few months. He was able to answer all my questions in a simple, objective way and used some handy modelling tools to run through a few different scenarios for a potential retirement date. It all just made sense and gave me a lot of confidence in his advice. The simple flat rate for the visit was greatly appreciated too. I highly recommend Phil Thompson's Rise Financial."
