  • Many Thanks to Pride Advice

    Many Thanks to Pride Advice

    5 months ago, I sustained an injury outside of work which still today has not healed, and have been unable to work since. My income protection has come to the rescue and has supplemented all that lost income, something I thought would never have been needed. Not only has it relieved the pressure financially, but mentally it had been an incredible comfort and relief and removed all stress and strain. Instead of being forced financially to return to work prematurely, and risk aggravating or causing further damage, I can instead focus on my recovery and healing correctly and returning to work when it’s safe for me to do so. Income Protection has proven to be such a blessing indeed, and can’t imagine the situation we’d be in if we didn’t have it. Many thanks to Pride for their management, guidance and overseeing of my claim.

  • Well Worth the Peace of Mind

    Well Worth the Peace of Mind

    We can not recommend Pride Advice highly enough, to not only look after our finances, but also to take care of Centrelink for us. We have nominated Pride Advice as our nominee for Centrelink, so they can update and sort out any issues that arise. The fee to have Pride Advice negotiate Centrelink is well worth the peace of mind, and our sanity knowing that it is done correctly. We can go about our daily life, go on holidays in our retirement and not even think about any of our finances, knowing they are being expertly handled. Thank you Andi for being so patient with us, and your knowledge dealing with Centrelink is priceless.

    In particular, I would like to say that I have always found the staff at ‘Pride Advice’ polite and friendly, and that they have always gone beyond what could normally be expected to be of help.

    Making a decision to work with a Finance Adviser is almost as intimate decision as choosing a partner. You need to trust them and know they will have your back and keep you safe.
