The best!Adrienne Hilton Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Having had Daniel Thompson's assistance with financial planning over many years I can highly recommend his services through his business New Era Financial Planning. Daniel's experience and knowledge has allowed him to provide advice and benefit us across multiple generations of our family. He supports our young adult children in starting their careers and assists them to make well grounded and informed financial decision (an essential time to start we believe), he supported myself during my working career and now recent retirement and also my elderly parents. We highly recommend Daniel for his professional, intuitive approach with access to broad resources as well as carefully considered solutions that are underpinned by his proactive responses to our needs.Louise Davis Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

My partner and I were very new to the world of financial planning and we had been trying to break into the property market. Daniel quickly made us feel at ease and he took his time to really understand our financial circumstances. Daniel is able to take complicated financial concepts and make them accessible. We felt understood and established a trustworthy working relationship with Daniel and his team and they were super flexible to work with (invaluable when you're working full time with young children!) Now that we have bought our first home, we're keen to build on the advice Daniel has given us and we're looking forward to working with him in the future.Naomi Starmer Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Client Stories
James, Melbourne
“So much clarity. Money mostly seems like a sensitive topic and other companies pushed me back as ‘too young’ to take on as a client… The peace of mind from a plan unique to my lifestyle is honestly a gamechanger.”
James had been trying to break into the property market for a while. With our advice and support, we ensured his property purchase went smoothly. He’s now in his own home and couldn’t be happier.
Jess & Aaron, Melbourne
“Working with Dan has been great. It’s nice they’ve taken time to create that level of trust, which we really wanted when it came to our money… The flexibility to meet up at any time is invaluable.”
Jess & Aaron had been tracking along reasonably well and were ready to invest for their future. We set their financial foundations, a safety net and helped them build their investments and get on the path to financial freedom.
Ash, Melbourne
“So much clarity, now I have someone who mentors my investing decisions.”
Ash wasn’t sure of the right way to start & build his portfolio. With our help, Ash purchased an investment property in 12 months, fast-tracking his goal of financial independence.
Louise & Alan, NSW
“Daniel listens carefully to your needs and goals, then carefully assesses and advises you on an appropriately tailored all-around package to provide financial protection and the means to achieve financial security.”
Louise was worried about her financial security when finishing work. With the right planning and strategy over the last half a decade or so, Louise has now retired early, along with Alan. They now spend their time travelling & visiting family .
