R & B van Zyl

When we retired and sold the farm, we needed someone to help us with our finances to see us through the rest of our lives. We spoke to Robert Goudie and found him to be very understanding and approachable. He made sure he took the time to explain all aspects of his advice and showed great patience in his explanation during the times that we didn’t understand something at first. He has a very caring manner and made sure he identified all of our needs. Robert is reliable, approachable, and trustworthy, all the things you need in someone who is going to be involved in your business for a very long time. We have recommended Robert to our friends and family and are confident to do so. 

“I found Ash very easy to understand…Whenever I put my ideas etc forward, he was able to deal with what I was saying and get back to where he left off. Very thorough operator who included both Marg and myself in the convo. Was a pleasure to deal with a person with such a laid-back nature and not only that, they know how to make a cup of coffee also. Well done Ash…10 out of 10.”

Robert was recommended to us by our accountants when we were seeking a financial adviser. We have been entirely satisfied with the advice and planning he has done for us, and we have appreciated his genuine desire to do what is best for our future. It is always a pleasure to have a chat with Rob as he talks in a financial language we understand. The staff at Consortium Private Wealth add to a friendly and happy environment. We would sincerely recommend Rob & Consortium Private Wealth to anyone who needs financial planning and advice. 

“We recently saw Ashley for some advice after we had to put my Mum into permanent care. She has dementia. In what is already and absolutely horrific time, my Dad had the added burden of needing to come up with $350,000 deposit. We spoke with Ashley about financial options with a combination of savings, part pension and superannuation, with payment options for the nursing home while still being able to live a decent lifestyle on what money was left over. Ashley was outstanding, his knowledge of the industry and the legislation was outstanding, his advice was, in depth and accurate, he gave options, and he made it very simple for us to understand. But above all, he was understanding and caring. I would recommend Ashley for anyone who has an aged care related financial situation. You will get the best advice from someone who is empathetic and understanding. Thanks so much Ashley.”

“Olivia was very informative and professional in supporting me on my wealth journey. Olivia was able to explain information clearly and made sure I understood throughout our discussions. Olivia displayed her confidence, skills, knowledge, and passion within her work, and she was very supportive. Olivia provided a summary of our discussion and provided options that best suit my situation. I would recommend Olivia to others.”

“Rob’s first-rate advice and service has assisted us greatly with the planning, setup and management of our finances for retirement. Highly recommended.”
