Insurance & Wealth Protection
The foundation of all financial advice should be protecting the family and/or business from the unexpected that occurs in everyone’s life at some stage.

I feel 100% advised, guided and supported to achieve the very best outcomes towards my journey to retirement and beyond. My fabulous team of Belinda and Melissah could not have understood my desires and explained the options available more clearly. I felt totally heard and supported in a very professional yet wonderfully friendly atmosphere. I am totally confident that my team are very much advising and acting in my best interest, and with total transparency and explanation given in all decisions. I feel a sense of relief that my future is in good hands. Thank-you.
Bass, T - 2023
Niki has been excellent and along with the excellent reviews of the company, the main reason we chose RFS to invest our funds. Niki is extremely knowledgable and patient and has been very helpful regarding out NZ super funds and the process to get them across to Australia. The other adviser companies we met with prior to selecting RFS were vague on this issue and also were not as thorough as Niki regarding the entire investment process.
KERRY, R - 2022
Thank you again for all of your professional advice, thorough follow through, friendly and caring demeanour and brilliant service. We have felt this the whole way through the process from Belinda to yourself (Melissah) with reception’s friendly phone manner in the middle. What an amazing company you are. I have been spreading the word to all.
TANYA, M - 2022
After leaving a insurance prominent provider that lacked all things customer service, our expectations have been very much met. As expats, i found your firm on the net, and with that Darko and Talia. Brilliant support, advice and customer service. Very happy with our new support team.
JASON & EMMA - 2020
Thanks Troy for all the extra work you are doing to safeguard our assets and minimise the exposure to volatile funds.
DAVID & JULIE - 2020
Excellent service from the whole office, (I) can’t fault anything. Everytime (I) call I can speak to anyone and they are always very helpful. Very grateful for your service and special mention to Darko, Talia and Jenna.
JENNIE - 2020
There are many reasons this company has won so many awards and continues to rapidly grow. We find the level of intelligent highly skilled individuals, combined with transparency and honesty, the most attractive and noticeable qualities. We feel absolutely confident that no matter what comes our way in the future, good or otherwise, we can rely on RFS to guide us in the right direction. They are a complete fit.
STUART AND MICHELLE, D
We live overseas and it can be hard to obtain help with time differences and connectivity etc. Darko and team have been brilliant. Straight advice, great trouble shooting. All you want in a firm that helps manage your family finance and insurance needs.
JASON & EMMA - 2020
Thank you to Troy and Paul…we are well informed
because of your emails. For us at the moment, it is important to survive this
dreadful virus. We know our money is in safe hands.
Please stay well.
DIETER AND ZITA, L
In all my years in the political, public and business arenas, rarely have I found a professional advice agency with such commitment to their clients; an extremely high work ethic; high professional standards; and, a noticeably high level of staff moral and comradery. I have no hesitation what-so-ever in recommending Troy Theobald and the team at RFS Advice.
TED AND SUE, S
Thank you for managing my investments so professionally. One of the best decisions I have made was contacting RFS Advice for financial planning advice.
