Why our clients love what we do

  • 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.

  • Communication Has Been Excellent

    Communication Has Been Excellent

    I wasn’t happy with my financial adviser and when talking about it with a friend, they suggested that I get in contact with Pride Advice. On meeting with Tracey she mapped out how my financial future can look and explained why I should take certain steps to improve my financial outcome. Since switching to Pride Advice I have had exemplary service from Tracey and Brett (Owner) and their team. Communication has been excellent, which is so important, particularly as we are in the current world financial woes.

  • Pride Advice Has Helped Me

    Pride Advice Has Helped Me

    I have been a long term Client of Pride Advice and like a lot of people always wondered “are personal insurances and the premiums I pay worth it?” I have recently been diagnosed with Cancer and am now undergoing Chemotherapy. My Doctor has told me I will need at least a year off of work due to the nature of what I do. Pride Advice have helped me to make a claim on my insurances and thankfully I now have an ongoing income and a lump sum in my bank account. This has taken a lot of pressure off financially and I can now just concentrate on getting well. I’m very grateful that I had good cover in place and some support during this challenging time in my life.

Financial Trends and Economic Factors in Adelaide
Impacts How We Provide Financial Advice and Planning Services

Adelaide continues to enjoy a stable economy, supported by traditional industries like manufacturing, defense, and agriculture. Emerging sectors such as renewable energy, technology, and healthcare are also contributing significantly to economic growth.

Population growth remains steady, positively influencing the housing market and local economy. The Adelaide housing market has seen moderate growth in 2024, with property values stabilising after significant increases in previous years. The demand for housing remains strong, particularly in suburbs like Glenelg, Unley, and Norwood, which are known for their desirable lifestyle and investment potential.

Adelaide is a leader in renewable energy, with ongoing investments in solar, wind, and now hydrogen projects. The South Australian Government’s commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 has spurred further growth in this sector. Government incentives and support for innovation are fostering a vibrant business environment, encouraging new ventures and technological advancements.

Adelaide has shown robust recovery from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, with government stimulus packages and support for small businesses playing crucial roles. The local economy is experiencing growth, with increased consumer confidence and spending.

Understanding the local financial trends and economic factors in Adelaide can significantly impact the financial advice and planning services you seek as individuals. Our objective is to ensure that our clients are well-positioned to take advantage of the unique economic opportunities in the region, aligning your financial goals with the local market dynamics in Adelaide.
