We have been with Sydney West Financial Services for almost 10 years now mainly dealing with Shitij Mann. I cannot recommend him and his team highly enough. He is a very intelligent person with a vast knowledge of the finance sector. His advice to us has been exceptional and has helped us to grow our wealth which without him we would not have been able to do. Thank you Shitij and your wonderful staff.

We have been dealing with SWFS for over 12 years and found the staff are very friendly and more importantly, very knowledgeable in their industry. We have been guided through the transitioning process from a working life to retirement seamlessly with SWFS restucturing our finances where we can now enjoy and live comfortably with the ability for our wealth to grow. We have recommeded SWFS to family and friends and they also speak highly of the services SWFS have offered them.

I have been with swfs for many years and have been very satisfied with the help I have received on many levels.It has been comforting for me to have personal contact with my advisors, Shitij Mann and Stephanie Middlebrook and more recently Angela Woo. They were always available if I needed help with my superannuation and this personal contact is something you don't always get in many super funds.Stephanie has regularly provided me with advice and this has been backed with sound financial reasons and options so that I was able to play a part in any decision making that affected my super and my financial future wellbeing.Charges have always been explained clearly and have always been well with the Government guidelines.I am now in pension phase and the sound financial advice I have received has meant I have been able to live comfortably even after the death of my husband.I have been with this firm through Superannuation planning, Retirement planning and now Estate planning and i am very satisfied that my interests have been uppermost throughout this process.

SWSFS have been our Financial Planners for many years. During this time we have found they always go beyond expectations to ensure we are kept up to date on what is happening with our account funds. Their support and advice during our transition to retirement made the experience easy! They keep us updated on economy changes and work with us to ensure our funds are safe. We would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone looking for professional financial advice.

For over 10 years, Shitij Mann and his team at Sydney West Financial Services has been our trusted financial advisor. His professional and indepth advice in the Financial, Superannuation & Investments, Personal Wealth, just naming a few, is second to none. He doesn’t just provide advice, he genuinely cares about all his clients and family members and unlike others, takes the time to understand your needs and goals for the future.Due to the expansion interstate and the huge expansion in the number of clients Shitij is servicing, Stephanie Middlebrook, then became our Planner with Shitij overseeing all the strategies. We were also very very happy with her services including her lovely and caring personality. She went on maternity leave last year and we now have Angela Wu, another brilliant Planner like Shitij and Stephanie.I can’t recommend SWFS enough. I feel our financial goals would not be where they are today if not for Shitij and his team guiding us. Thank you very much, Shitij, Stephanie & Angela !
