Client Feedback

“We were referred to Ben Adams from a good friend of ours and sought advice from Ben regarding our overall financial planning situation. Ben provided us with advice regarding our superannuation funds, our home loan and also our personal insurance needs. Ben was able to provide a wide range of options in order to provide a tailored solution for our needs. We are very satisfied with the advice that Ben provided to us and we found this to be in a prompt and efficient manner. We also found that the support of Ben’s team was excellent and we would have no hesitation in recommending other people engage the services of Ben at Central West Financial Solutions regarding their own personal financial planning advice”,

Ben & Olla H. – May 2017

Ben has been a pleasure to deal with. He not only shows exceptional finance knowledge but also collaborates to make sure everything is understood and a benefit for all members of the family. I would highly recommend Ben and the team at Central West Financial Solutions.

Scott & Jenny O. Feb 2017

I have been a client of Ben Adams at CWFS for nearly three years. I had recently moved to Orange and had not reviewed my financial situation since starting a family. Ben was very patient and explained clearly all my options. With the minimum of fuss, Ben was able to sort out my financial security despite being thrown a few curveballs, including extracting superannuation from several UK funds.

Charlie W.

When I arrived in Orange in 1999 I was advised by my AMP agent in Broken Hill to contact Ben Adams. Since that time Ben has been my agent. I have to say, the suggestion has proved to be fruitful and also enjoyable. Ben has an understanding of my family situation, my lifestyle and work commitments. He has taken a real interest in me and has my full trust.

Kym K.

Retirement was something we anticipated eagerly but with some trepidation. It was a lovely bonus to find Tony Seymour and the ever helpful and always friendly people at Central West Financial Solutions. We know that, in their capable hands, our financial future is as secure as it can be in an economic climate that, as ever, has no guarantees.

Leighton and Lesley T.

We have been retired for 15 years & have enjoyed working with Ben on our Superannuation & investments. Ben has successfully guided us into funds which have provided us with a lifestyle we enjoy. We have faith in Ben & his integrity, this gives us great peace of mind.

Rhonda & Bob C. Feb 2017.

We would like to thank you for your advice and support over the past 15 years. Your professional but friendly manner has educated us in financial planning so we are better able to understand and plan for our needs in the future and for retirement.  We are better able to understand the intricacies of the financial market and therefore better able to cope with the volatility of markets.
