6 Nov 2025 A WORD OF CAUTION: ***** Be careful not to allow this organization to use you to promote itself with distorted information about you ***** After posting the review below I was presented with a thank you card signed by everybody in EFG. I was asked to photograph myself pinning the note up in my study, I did this and sent them the photo. Subsequently this photo and my review was posted on LinkedIn - but my pic had been severely cropped, cutting off most of my face and my picture and last name on my review had been changed. I emailed my financial advisor asking him to remove the LinkedIn post saying 'No need to reply'. The result? Three phone calls and an uninvited visit to my house. When I checked my emails before going to bed I found a reply. I sent an assertive email saying I was disgusted at the post, demanded it be removed immediately, that I was appalled that my 'No need to reply' had been disregarded four times, and suggested that an apology was in order, Next morning the post had been removed and I recieved my apology. 23 Oct 2025 I had been running my own share portfolio, but when Donald Trump took office the stock market took a haircut. This led to me handing over my financial affairs to Empire Financial Group. Kevin El is my advisor and I have nothing but praise for his impressive financial knowledge, his friendly, professional manner, and the trouble he took to assess my position and come up with a first class plan. I especially like the fact that no reverse mortgage on my house is needed. So if I ever need to move into a nursing home my house can be sold to finance it. Kevin is always available to take my calls and he responds to emails the same day. I feel in safe hands and I thouroughly recommend EFG to anybody looking for financial support.

We realised we needed help making the best use of our superannuation when retirement loomed. No more salaries and a finite amount of money to last us - a very scary prospect. We needed professional help. Research led us to Empire Financial Group. We had our first meeting with the very personable Mark Smith and knew he was a good fit for us. We felt that we and our finances were in safe, professional and knowledgeable hands with Empire and Mark. This has proved to be the case and we look forward to a continuing relationship with both Empire and Mark.

We have been dealing with ERG and the team for over eight years now, from our initial meeting back then which was with Chris we were listened to what our goals were and the team went to work. The plan that was set out for our future has reached and exceeded our expectations. We have worked with Nicholas for around 6 years now and he has a fantastic work ethic and goes over and above all the time and takes pride in his work and is genuinely interested in our family as it has grown over the years while been with EFG. Would 100% recommend to anyone who wants to be financially sound and you will receive professional assistance in reaching your goals.

Being closely involved in the financial advice industry over many years, I have come to greatly respect the professionalism, quality and breadth of advice provided to us by Nick Hart and the Empire team with whom we have been clients for a number of years now. They have a very good understanding of our investment objectives and circumstances, and we have found them to be proactive and quick to respond to events and queries. Very nice people to deal with, we continue to recommend Empire to family and friends.

The team at Empire Financial group have not only helped my Fiance and I personally but have helped some my team and clients as well. They are very professional, and we found they had a strategic approach to our situation taking into account our financial and retirement goals. We could not have been happier with the outcome they provided, and a very easy to follow step by step process to achieve everything we are hoping for. Nick and Raymond took the time to explain all different outcomes to us and we left feeling at ease and that our financial future is in good hands. We 100% recommend them to all of our family and friends.
