We recently worked with Tim and the team at Apprise Harpel Group on the succession planning for our family business, and their guidance was invaluable throughout the entire process. Tim and his team took the time to understand our unique circumstances and helped us navigate what could have been a complex and emotional transition. Their advice was paramount in helping us evaluate different options and understand the potential outcomes for all parties involved. What stood out most was their ability to make everyone feel comfortable and included in the discussions. They clearly outlined the responsibilities of each person within the existing structure and provided practical, well-considered recommendations that focused on achieving the best possible outcome for the future of the business. We are extremely grateful for their professionalism, expertise, and support, and would highly recommend Apprise Harpel Group to any business owners looking for succession planning or financial advice.

Initially, I was quite nervous about the prospect of retirement. My primary concern being whether the funds would last the distance given the unpredictability of the financial world. Now, nearly a decade has passed and over that period, Joel and his team have proved that with their expert management, even limited funds can not only last but thrive, in an environment of market volatility. For me, their meticulous care passes what Joel calls ‘the sleep test’.

I first met Tim in about 2002/2004 when my fund was passed over to him and it was a "dogs dinner". Within 18months Tim had "whipped" it into a modern form and my super fund has not looked back since. I meet with Tim, Peter and Mary about every 6 months re my MODEST portfolio and have simple maintenance/adjustment discussions. So in this world where you second guess the validity of comm's especially to do with your finances I value their vigilance, guidance and consequently professional friendships.

Joel, Tim, Peter and Mary have been helping us over the past few years to get our finances in order. We own a small business and have a young family. They helped us clearly define our goals, helped us fund the purchase of our business property with tax effective means, reviewed our loans. insurances and super and helped us sort out our wills. They are also helping us by keeping us accountable for meeting our business goals. I feel more in control of our financial circumstances than ever before. The team has always been professional and lovely to work with. We never feel pressured to take up a product or strategy. They are great communicators and keep us in the loop constantly. They are upfront about their fees and the opposite of all the horrible financial planners you here of in the media. I would highly recommend them to anyone. Thanks guys for all your hard work and support

The team at Apprise Harpel helped me out navigating through the trauma of dealing with Centerlink. They put me on to my local federal MP and within 24hrs we had a positive result. I don’t believe that would have happened without their council and intervention. Thanks especially to peter.

I have been using the services of the Apprise Harpel Group for at least 6 years. In that time they have defined and implemented a financial strategy that will keep our family comfortable well into our old age. Recently they have taken the lead in navigating through the jargon and requirements that come with applying for a Centrelink Pension. It has been a pleasure to deal with them. I highly recommend Peter, Mary and Tim from Apprise.

Hey John,
Thanks so much for the kind words — really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
It’s been great working with you and your family over the years. Helping people put the right financial strategy in place and giving you all clarity around retirement planning, wealth management and long term financial security is exactly why we do what we do.
And Centrelink… well, we know that world can be a jungle. We’re glad we could step in and make the whole Centrelink Age Pension process easier, from the paperwork to the jargon to the rules that seem to change every five minutes. Helping clients navigate that side of retirement is a big part of the support we provide.
I know Peter, Mary and Tim will really appreciate the shout out — they put their heart into every client they look after, as we do as a team here at Apprise Harpel Group.
Thanks again for the recommendation John. It is greatly appreciated.

We’re wrapped to be part of your journey and here for you whenever you need us.

Joel and the team are warm and welcoming from the moment you step through the doors . My mum, after an illness was worried about the setup of her superannuation and tax issues, if something was to happen to her. We went to visit Joel, who worked with mum over a decade ago and he took the time to put her mind at ease and run through and double check everything. The piece of mind he left with mum, was so emotional she teared up. From my perspective, knowing she has been so looked after and set up well, means so much. Thanks Joel, appreciate your time and insight.

I find my annual reviews, are more like friends catching up. Joel and his team always make your needs and questions their top priority. They explain the market, if need be advise changing some of your holdings to more productive ones. Joel sends video updates throughout the year. His understanding of the long-term market is reassuring. Out of 10, I give 15.
