My advice to people who need help with their finances is not to be embarrassed about it if you have no idea, just start. That’s what I did and it was humbling to realise how much I didn’t have in place. My adviser Nicola stepped through everything with me, explained concepts clearly and backed everything up with emails. I now have my finances sorted. Thank you Nicola, PFAN and MS Australia for providing this service.

Client, Pro Bono Financial Advice NetworkIt’s pleasing to see we are connecting individuals who are living with MS, who cannot otherwise afford or access financial advice. We have much to do, to continue to promote the significant difference that financial advice can make, and to inspire advisers and partners to join us on our important mission.
