Stephane Coiffic

Our initial meeting with Vanessa Scott a few years ago, we felt totally comfortable with signing up for our smsf, and shortly after our personal finances. Vanessa has truly been amazing and we have every trust and faith in her, and that she really does have your best interest at heart. She is genuine and down to earth, along with a great sense of humour. We would not hesitate in recommending anyone looking for someone to help with managing their finances.
