Posted on Google helen tia toaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Progressive Financial Solutions were exactly what our family needed when trying to navigate my Mother’s transition into the Age Care System. Progressive Financial Solutions were able to assist with not only providing financial advice but also were able to elevate the burden on the family regarding any communications with Centrelink so our family could put our energy into caring for my Mother in her time of need. I can’t recommend this company highly enough. The entire team was personable, attentive, and genuinely caring. It’s rare to find a company that not only delivers excellent results but also makes you feel valued every step of the way. They took the time to listen, understand what we needed, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Their professionalism is matched only by their kindness — you never feel like “just another client.” It’s clear they take great pride in their work and in building lasting relationships. If you’re looking for a company that combines skill, integrity, and heart, this is the one to choose. Thankyou Progressive Financial Solutions from the Kenny, Palmer and Tia-Toa familiesPosted on Google Teresa DovileTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Jess is a pleasure to deal with and is always there to answer our questions. Thank you Joe and Jess for all your guidance and support very much appreciated.Posted on Google Trevor GTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My family and I visited PFS follwing advice from a previous satisfied customer to manage my elderly mother's finances and assist with moving to aged care living. From the virst consultation, Joe, Paul and Jess spoke through all the complexities surrounding aged care and broke it down into simple terms. Their guidance and advice was clear from day 1 and all matters they agreed to take care of were. This left my family with no stress and difficulties and allowed us time to focus on mum and her transition. As a result, mum is now happily living in aged care and all of her finances, from personal savings to investments and even pension matters through Centrelink have been dealt with by PFS. I can't thank Joe and his team enough, espcially Jess for their professional but also family like manner of conducting business, Do yourself a favour and contact them if you're in a situation approaching retirement or an elderly family member is.Posted on Google Johnny VF SixtytwoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

At Progressive Financial Solutions, we tailor our services to your needs, and so our fees reflect the complexity of your situation.
We offer an obligation-free initial consultation where we get to know your financial position and goals. After that, we provide full transparency on any costs involved so you can feel informed and confident before moving forward.
Choosing the right advisor is about trust, connection, and shared values.
In your first meeting with us, we encourage you to ask questions about our process, our philosophy, and how we work. With over 1,400 clients served since 2001, many of whom we’ve supported across decades, we believe in relationships that grow with you.
For many of our clients, financial advice pays for itself in clarity, confidence, and long-term strategy.
We help you make informed decisions, avoid costly mistakes, and plan for what’s ahead. Whether you’re preparing for retirement, managing wealth, or investing for the first time, our advice is built around your goals, not just your numbers.
The best time to start is when you’re thinking about your future.
Whether you’re approaching retirement, running a business, receiving an inheritance, or simply wanting more control over your finances, we’re here to help. We guide clients through every stage of life, with personalised plans that adapt as you do.
Your first meeting is a chance for us to get to know each other. We’ll take the time to understand your financial position, your goals, and what matters most to you. There’s no obligation, it’s simply an open conversation to explore whether we’re the right fit to support your journey.
Our advice is completely personalised, ongoing, and built around you. Unlike banks, we don’t work from a limited range of in-house financial products. As independent advisors, we take the time to understand your full financial picture and recommend strategies that are tailored to your goals, not tied to sales targets or quotas. It’s a long-term relationship, not a transaction.
Whether you’re just starting out or planning ahead, there’s value in having the right financial advice. Book your obligation-free first appointment with our Melbourne-based team and take a confident step toward your financial future.
