Leading Advice provides an outstanding service and has a fantastic team. Katrina Haskew has been our adviser for over three years, and we cannot recommend her highly enough. Katrina meets with us regularly to discuss our plans, making proactive suggestions and giving wise guidance. She is an absolute legend—genuinely caring, trustworthy, helpful, and incredibly honest. Thanks to her expert advice and meticulous planning, I retired comfortably at age 62. If you are looking for a financial planner you can truly trust with your future, Katrina is the absolute best!

I've known Katrina for something like 8 years now, and she's always given the most practical and straight up advice. She's gone against options that would have lined her pocket, and focused on making sure that I had the best option for my situation. When it comes to financial advice, Katrina is as trustworthy as it gets for me.
