Maddern Financial Advisers

I’ve had an outstanding experience with this financial advice business from start to finish. What really sets them apart is their ability to make complex financial concepts feel clear, practical, and tailored to real life—not just theory. From the first consultation, they took the time to understand my goals, priorities, and concerns in detail. Rather than offering generic advice, they developed a strategy that felt genuinely personalised and aligned with where I want to be both short- and long-term. Their communication is consistently professional, transparent, and easy to follow, which made a huge difference in building trust and confidence. What impressed me most is their proactive approach. They don’t just set a plan and disappear—they check in regularly, adjust strategies when needed, and keep me informed about opportunities or risks I might otherwise miss. It’s clear they genuinely care about their clients’ success, not just transactions. I also appreciate their integrity. Every recommendation has been explained with both the benefits and potential downsides, allowing me to make informed decisions without feeling pressured. Overall, I would highly recommend this business to anyone looking for reliable, knowledgeable, and client-focused financial advice. They’ve made a real impact on my financial confidence and future planning.

The team at Maddern Financial has been incredibly helpful in simplifying what used to feel overwhelming - super, tax planning, and long term investment strategies. I've always felt heard, supported, and given advice that's specific to my goals and not generic. I'm very grateful for the clarity and confidence that Dennis, Lisa and the rest of the team have given me.

Always see their ad at Pentridge Cinemas. Can I take up the offer of a free coffee at the Malvern office?

I've relied on Maddern Financial Advisors for both accounting/taxation services and financial advice for over ten years and recommend them highly to anyone seeking truly independent financial advice, quality accounting services and tax advice under one roof. Dennis & Lisa make a great team!

At the end of last year, I engaged Lisa Morgan at Maddern Accountants to assist me with a complex Australian tax matter involving foreign income and direct enquiries to the ATO. From the outset, I explained that one of the main reasons I was engaging a new accountant was because I was looking for a more personalised service and better communication than I had experienced previously. I also made it clear that I was happy to make myself available for meetings, provide additional information whenever required, and pay for any extra time needed to ensure my circumstances were fully understood. Once I accepted the engagement and paid the invoice in full upfront, I found that communication became very limited. After payment, I didn't hear from the firm for a couple of weeks until I contacted them to ask when work would commence, as I was conscious of the ATO deadlines. Throughout the engagement, I regularly provided information and encouraged questions to ensure we had a shared understanding of the facts. However, I found communication remained brief and infrequent. On several occasions, I went weeks without receiving an update and had to repeatedly follow up to receive responses or copies of correspondence relating to my matter. Tax matters can be highly stressful and, in my view, responsiveness, communication and client care/customer service are just as important as technical expertise. Unfortunately, I never felt supported throughout the process and often felt ignored rather than treated as a valued client. Based on my personal experience, I would not recommend this firm to anyone looking for a collaborative, responsive and client-focused accounting service. I genuinely hope this feedback helps improve the experience of future and potential clients.
