Froffytop2024-11-04 Always professional service from Gerard Homan FP and the knowledgeable team at Beaches Financial Manly Vale on Northern Beaches. Cannot recommend them Highly enough! Bernadette McCarthy2024-10-23 I met with Gerard for some mid-life financial planning following a separation from a long term partner. He was incredibly knowledgable, helpful, and empathetic to my current situation. The planning advice he gave me will have a real lasting impact on my financial future and security. He is super easy to talk to and has a real knack for explaining things to your knowledge level...which, in my case, was minimal! :) Five shiny stars for Gerard! chris toriggino2024-08-12 Gerard's financial advice has been clear, accurate, and has helped guide my personal financial goals.
