1,000 Five-Star Reviews & Wealth Advisory of the Year 2025!

It’s a double celebration at Empower Wealth! This year, we’ve been named Wealth Advisory of the Year 2025 for the second year in a row, and we’ve also just reached another milestone — between our Melbourne and Sydney office, we’ve received 1,000 five-star Google reviews from our clients!

For us, these two achievements go hand in hand. Awards are always an honour, but what matters most is knowing that our work is making a real difference in the lives of everyday Aussies.

Why We Do What We Do

Behind every review and every award are real people. Each five-star review represents someone taking a step closer to financial clarity, confidence, and peace of mind.

Take Adam, a first-home buyer who began his journey with zero knowledge of the process:
“As a first home buyer with 0 knowledge of the process and how everything worked, Bradley and his team at Empower Wealth made sure that I was completely equipped with the knowledge and tools to purchase a place of my own. No question was too small, no bit of knowledge was assumed, just professionalism and help all of the way through! I will be pushing all of my family and friends in their direction in the future.”
— Adam D, NSW

For Rachael and her family, the story was about growth and adapting their plan as life changed:
“4 years ago we invested in our first Property plan put together by Empower Wealth… now with 2 kids in tow we felt our lifestyle was pulling us in another direction. We knew straight away Empower Wealth would be our first point of contact for a plan review and it was exactly what we needed. We always come away with more value than ever expected, we wouldn’t be in the financial position we are today without the Empower team. Highly, highly recommend!”
— Rachael C, NSW

And then there are long-term clients like Sam, who rely on multiple services over many years:
“I have worked with Empower Wealth for many years and rely on them for mortgage broking, accounting, and buyers agency. I have recommended my friends and family to Empower Wealth as a trusted and reliable provider in this space. The business aligns to Bryce and Ben from the Property Couch podcast and I always feel I am safe and supported with Empower Wealth.”
— Sam G, VIC

These stories from first-home buyers, to families, to seasoned investors are the real markers of success. You can read more here >

Wealth Advisory of the Year 2025

Being recognised by Pan Finance as the Wealth Advisory of the Year 2025 is a privilege, and it reflects the approach that has guided us since day one: putting people first, focusing on education, and always acting with integrity.

It’s not the first time we’ve brought home the award either — you can read about our 2024 win here — and this year’s award sits alongside several other industry awards we’re honoured to have received such as:

Customer Service of the Year – Australian Broking Awards
Property Investment Adviser of the Year – PIPA Award
Top 25 Brokerages in 2025 – The Adviser Award

We’re proud of these acknowledgements, but while the trophies are special, they’re not what drive us.

The real reward comes from helping people move closer to their goals — whether that’s buying their first home, expanding an investment portfolio, or planning for retirement.

Everyone’s journey is different, shaped by unique circumstances and goals. That’s why each Property Portfolio Plan is tailored to the individual — not everyone needs two to four investment properties.

And that’s why it’s not uncommon for us to say to a client: “Now isn’t the right time to invest — your focus should be on your family or career first.” Sometimes the best guidance is: “You’re already on track — you don’t need us right now, just keep doing what you’re doing.” And often, it’s about being upfront: “We don’t want you to overstretch your budget. Property is a long-term game, so let’s set realistic expectations today.”

Milestones That Matter

This year has been full of moments that remind us why we do what we do:

16,885 clients helped so far. This is the real metric that matters most to us. It’s displayed throughout our office and shared at every team meeting as a reminder that helping clients is why we are here.
Delivering over 5,000 Property Portfolio Plans, giving Australians clarity and direction for the future. Read more about that milestone here.
Consistently achieving a Net Promoter Score (NPS) of 91, far above the financial industry average (see benchmark). This shows just how strongly our clients feel about recommending Empower Wealth to others.

When we talk about milestones, they’re never just numbers. They’re proof that more families are reaching financial peace, step by step.

Education at the Core

Education remains at the centre of everything we do. It’s why we continue to share insights on The Property Couch podcast — now celebrating a decade of helping Australians understand money and property in plain language.

It’s also why we published our latest book, How to Retire on $3,000 a Week, which breaks down the frameworks that give Australians the confidence to plan their retirement with clarity.

By combining education with personalised planning, we help people not only learn but take action.

Looking Ahead

Awards and reviews are wonderful, but they’re not the finish line. The true measure of success is the difference made in people’s lives — the families who now feel confident about their retirement, the investors who’ve built secure portfolios, and the first-home buyers who’ve finally turned the key to their new front door.

That’s what keeps us motivated, and that’s why we’ll continue working with Australians to help them design their lifestyle, build wealth, and achieve financial peace.
