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.
