Financial Advice That Understands Your Journey

Your service to South Australia Police deserves financial advice that understands your unique challenges and opportunities. With shift work, demanding roles, and the unique structure of Police Super and Super SA, your financial world is often more complex than most.

We understand that complexity better than anyone. Our founder and CEO, Brett, proudly served in SAPOL for more than a decade as a patrol officer, detective, and investigator in Serious Fraud. He knows first-hand the challenges, sacrifices and opportunities that come with a police career — because he’s lived it.

Since leaving SAPOL, Brett has built a team around him who share his depth of understanding and who specialise in guiding SAPOL members through every stage of their financial journey. Together, they bring experience, empathy and a practical knowledge of how to help you make the most of your career and retirement options.

  • 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.

  • They Are Easy to Work With

    They Are Easy to Work With

    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. I have been a client of Pride for over 10 years and I think the sign of success for any external partner is that they are easy to work with, responsive, active at developing and ensuring they are constantly learning new things and most importantly, are passionate and driven to not just help you achieve your goals but overachieve them. Repetitively winning practice of the year demonstrates their commitment to all of these things.

  • 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.

  • 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.
