I’ve worked with Ryan and his team at Everyday Wealth for over 10 years now, and I can’t recommend him enough. He’s always understood exactly where my family and I are financially and kept the focus on what’s genuinely right for us. What stands out most is how genuine he is, and how excited and invested he is in his clients succeeding and building a better life. That enthusiasm comes through every time he explains something. It’s clear he actually cares, and it reflects the way Everyday Wealth as a whole looks after its clients. Working with Ryan and Everyday Wealth has taken a real weight off my shoulders. I don’t lie awake worrying about my finances or retirement, thanks to the advice he’s given me over the years. I know my family’s long-term future is secure, and that peace of mind is worth everything.

Ryan and the team at Everyday Wealth have been a godsend for our family. We met Ryan 7 years ago during difficult circumstances and he has helped guide us through life’s changes, in our case starting a family, buying our first home and moving interstate. Ryan understands our goals and his advice has been invaluable. His advice allows us to life a happy and financially secure life, something that wouldn’t have been achievable had we done it on our own. Highly recommend!

Ryan & the team at Everyday Wealth could not come recommended highly enough. From when my partner & I engaged their services, they've always been incredibly easy to work with and thorough. They take the time to ensure you understand the more complicated aspects properly before implementing anything & they don't push products on you if your goals don't align. They helped us establish our SMSF properly, ensuring compliance & assisted us with the tricker bits including obtaining adequate insurance policies. Their detailed projection work gives us the peace of mind to make calculated financial decisions knowing where we'll be in X many years.

I was previously managing my own shares, but because of the higher brokerage fees I would wait until I had saved enough to make each purchase worthwhile. At the time, I thought that was just normal. During our initial consultation, Ryan pointed out that I could actually be missing out on potential gains by doing it that way. Ryan took the time to clearly explain how the platform he uses works, show me examples, and walk me through what the investment portfolio would be invested in. Everything is now much more set-and-forget, with the platform taking care of the buying for me. I also really like the projected performance graphs and the six-monthly catch-ups to review how everything is tracking. Overall, Ryan has made the whole process much easier to understand and manage, and I feel much more confident about my investing moving forward.

I have been a client of Everyday Wealth for a few years now and I am very happy with Ryan’s advice. Ryan has been clear every time and has tailored my finances to my personal requirements and not generic for everyone. He explains things properly and answers questions honestly and directly. The bi-annual review meetings are important and it’s good to keep up where you’re at or what you need to do. Ryan is very professional and explains how my finance is going with my best interests first. Thanks to his guidance, I feel far more secure and optimistic about my financial future. I cannot recommend Ryan and his team highly enough. Very professional and knowledgeable.
