Gareth and the team are absolutely dedicated to making the right decisions crafted around you and your circumstances. I am so happy to have found Finsol. Modern, easy, and the communication is impeccable. I have no faults to say. Thank you Gareth I look forward to continuing working with you for many more years.
Thank you to Nadeesha Ranasinghe for her honesty and always being available anytime, even on the weekend, the best broker we could have ever hoped for and highly recommend her. We did it, and we got to celebrate this year’s Christmas in our place. Thank you from us and our boys. Have a Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year to the Finsol team.
Gareth and his team have done a great job of educating and tailoring an investment package that suits our needs. They are easy to talk to, and we look forward to a profitable long-term relationship.
Gareth and Matthew have both been extremely helpful and patient. They have explained every step of my portfolio set-up well and answered my multiple questions along the way. They understand my financial goals, and I have never felt pressured or uncomfortable at any stage in the process. I have even recommended them to a colleague!
This is a jackpot of a team that you don't come across too often these days. It is refreshing to have such attentive, detailed, and trusted advice on a wide range of financial matters, although I don't think I've had a chance to experience the whole range.
