Josh and Sam are really knowledgeable and accommodating. They have helped us to restructure our financial life, and provide us with certainty and hope for the future. Josh also helped us to refinance our home to fund our renovations. We're so glad we became members of Pursue Wealth and wouldn't know where we would be with out them.

The team at Pursue Wealth helped me get my first home loan! they were fantastic, friendly and professional from start to finish. Tom my Mortgage Broker was very thorough and answered all the questions I had. Tom was reliable and kept open communications with all relevant stakeholders involved. Overall I felt confident with the recommendations provided and will continue to use this service in the future! Thanks again Pursue Wealth :)

Sam and Josh are so warm, friendly and approachable, they make the often daunting experience of financial planning completely painless. Sam is so generous with her time and wisdom, and is gently guiding us to where we want to be with clear goals and solid strategies. With her wealth of knowledge (love a pun) and personable delivery, we feel better informed, relieved and actually excited about what the future holds. The peace of mind that comes with her expertise is invaluable. Can't recommend them highly enough.

Josh, Tom and by extension Pursue Wealth are the best!!!! They are great communicators, professional and reliable. Best of all - they fight for you which for my family and I was invaluable. We had a tricky finance approval period to which they navigated the process with skill and expertise. It is greatly appreciated on our end. We are now homeowners!!!

Pursue Wealth were extremely helpful in our efforts to buy our first home. Josh assisted us and what I liked the most is that he is a highly skilled financial adviser and not just a mortgage broker which means he will go above and beyond to assist us, taking into account our whole situation while assisting us.I believe it is hard to find that level of service anywhere else when looking to secure a loan.

Both Tom and Josh went above and beyond their duties. They responded to all my questions straight away and always had an answer for me. I am a bit older to be getting a loan but they assured me the whole way through the application that it would be ok. Loan approved and in my new home all due to their hard work. Thanks heaps. Would highly recommend you both.

I was a bit hesitant and apprehensive going in but Josh made all the time to explain my future in simple terms. He provided the information I needed to feel at ease, to commit to it and after only a couple of months, I’m seeing genuine and honest growth for my future. The plan is tailor made to me, suits my needs and fits in my budget.Very excited about the future financially and really happy with the progress in such a short space of time.

If I had to describe Peruse Wealth, I would say that they are a team dedicated to assisting their clients achieve their goals and protecting their financial future. I have been working with Sam and the team for just under 12 months and have seen a remarkable difference in my money management strategies. I would recommend them to my closest friends and family knowing that they would receive genuine and professional financial advice.

Poor service from Josh Wingrove, not intersted in helping me at all. Do not trust this company, all they want is to take your money not help you gain control of it. AVOID!

The team at Pursue Wealth tick all the boxes that make a fantastic advice team. They focus on the individual and their personal goals to create a plan you know has been tailored to make sure you achieve what you want in life! Their support team is also really friendly and prompt to reply to queries. I've worked with PW for the last 12 months and would recommend them to anyone driven to get the best out of themselves.
