My husband and I have been a client of Stickman Wealth for 3-4 years. Berin's advice helped us buy our first apartment together and we're on track to pay off our home loan 17 years faster than pre-advice, despite the increase in interest rates.

I have been a client of Stickman Wealth since my 20s and the journey has been amazing. From the onset, they have been a guiding light in the often complex world of finance, holding my hand every step of the way.

Their expertise is evident in the way they simplify complex financial concepts, making them easy to understand. They have always been there to answer my questions, no matter how trivial, with patience and clarity.

What sets them apart is their genuine interest in my financial well-being. They have consistently demonstrated a deep understanding of my financial goals and have tailored strategies to help me achieve them.

Over the years, Berin has been not just been a financial planner to me, but a mentor and a friend. I am grateful for his unwavering support and guidance. I highly recommend Stickman Wealth's  services to anyone seeking a secure financial future. Their professionalism, knowledge, and dedication are truly commendable.

Berin and the team at Stickman Wealth are fantstic. They take the time to listen and develop an apporach unique to you, and it's not just "cookie cutter" advice. Berin always goes the extra mile, even if that means witnessing documents at 9pm to get a loan over the line for a new home... highly recommend.

  • “We’ve been working with Berin for three years and are thrilled we’re starting to see our investment building. With the cost of everything becoming more expensive and rising interest rates, it’s comforting to know we’re still making progress and staying ahead. Berin helped us get into our first home and put in place a plan to play it down more quickly from the beginning.”

    Peter & Kylie (31 & 29 y.o.)

  • “Berin gave me practical tools for thinking about my goals. He took all the worry away and spent time finding the best possible deal for my super and insurance. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Stickman Wealth, whether it’s sorting at your super or for more strategic investment advice.”

    Brook (36 y.o.)

  • “Berin has been really helpful building my financial knowledge and confidence. He ensured I was able to live in the now but also prepare for the future. One of the best things working with Berin is his supportive accountability. I am definitely more aware of my financial circumstances and over the years have been starting to diversify and build my finances.”

    Alice (36 y.o.)

  • “Berin helped me see that hiding my head in the sand was only causing me greater stress. He has patiently explained aspects of the financial system to me, so I’m better educated to make informed decisions. Working with Berin has helped me to identify and set goals and he is excellent at coaching me to achieve these. I’ve eliminated my credit card debt, increased my savings, set up a realistic budget and gained confidence about my financial future.”

    Jordan (48 y.o.)

  • “I no longer worry about my finances as I have peace of mind that I am in good hands. I’ve been a client for 6 years and am extremely happy with the very knowledgeable advice given. I have regular meetings where I’m kept up to date with the changing market and assess my future goals. Berin’s always available and happy to assist whenever I need further advice and to explain any other options. I’m a single lady and depend on my investments for a comfortable retirement. I have a sense of security and can sleep easy at night with the confidence that I’m being looked after.”

    Helen (75 y.o.)

  • “I have known Berin for some time now, it’s how he communicates with his clients that makes him stand out from the other financial planners I have met in the past, making it as easy as possible to make the right decisions.”

    Dimitri (45 y.o.)
