Cameron Kelly has de-mystified the navigation moving from a locked down deferred superannuation fund to another fund with an allocated pension. He has provided high quality advice and expertise in allowing me to make confident and informed decisions about my financial future. Having an actively managed super fund allows me to take immediate advantage of market changes. Essential Planner staff are brilliant and very helpful with superb customer service with all enquiries, ensuring immediate follow up and resolution of issues that may arise. The package provided by Cameron through consultation meets our current and future financial needs. I strongly recommend that others consider Cameron Kelly and Essential Planner to manage their superannuation financial situation.
