What Our Clients Say

Passionate, professional and principled are the key qualities Will brings to his practice as a financial planner. But of course Will is more. Will is truly dedicated to bettering the lives of those affected with disabilities – the individual, their families and friends. His own experiences provide him insight only those affected can truly understand. He knows financial advice requires an holistic approach. His unique and highly specialised offering through Health & Finance Integrated provides a platform for highly specialised skills in delivering a truly comprehensive financial advisory service. In referring my clients to Will they never fail to provide glowing feedback, particularly at the joy of being treated with dignity and respect while receiving intelligent and practical advice. It is a privilege and a joy to know Will and of course those who are fortunate enough to have Will as their adviser are equally privileged.

For a little over a year now William has been providing us financial advice. William has demonstrated expert knowledge, professionalism and integrity in addition to being extremely supportive in helping us to achieve our financial goals. I would highly recommend his service.

When our youngest child Max was diagnosed with Autism early last year we were not at all prepared for the enormous impact it would have on our lives. There were so many new things to consider. Our first concern was obviously for our son and how we could give him the best possible chance at an independent, fulfilling and meaningful life. After trialling several different interventions we saw very little change. Finally, after months of research we found an intensive evidence based intervention that showed promising results for children just like Max. Of course there was a catch. The financial cost averages between $20,000 & $50,000 per year. I initially contacted HFI looking for advice on accessing my super however after a short phone consultation with Will it was clear we needed to look at the bigger picture and seek solutions that would not only facilitate Max’s early intervention but also serve us long term. Will has extensive knowledge and experience in the many issues families like ours face, not only during this early stage of Max’s life, but also the costs involved with future school placement, independent living and inevitably what will happen when we are no longer here to care for him. As well as providing financial advice, Will is a professional and passionate advocate who displays a genuine desire to help others. A truly rare find in the world of finance and definitely not what I expected. In short, Will is one of the good guys! I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone. Thank you Will!

I received a compensation payout as a result of medical negligence which left me a paraplegic and amputee in September 2011. My GP referred me to William Johns and within minutes he had explained to me in layman’s terms how he could achieve my brief, when none of the other planners I met could. I dread to think what my financial and personal situation would be like just 12 months after the compensation payout and I thank God & Mr William Johns from the bottom of my heart that I crossed paths with him & the impeccable service of HFI.

I have worked as a professional within the health and disability sector for 20 years. I met Will through my work and I admit to an initial skepticism around his specialty in health and disability as I had never met anyone in finance who claimed to understand the needs of anyone with a disability and actually did! After spending some time around Will and watching him interact with my clients with a disability and seeing first had the care he took and genuine empathy and understanding he had my skepticism was replaced by admiration. Will has a genuine heart for helping people with a disability and complex health needs and he has the intelligence and skills to back his compassion all the way. I watched him navigate complex negotiations with banks and insurance companies, lawyers and corporations with ease and grace. I was impressed enough to go to him with my personal finances. I have two children with special needs and am a sole parent. Will dedicated himself to achieving the best outcome for me and my children’s financial present and future. He researched my options tirelessly and went above and beyond his job description to ensure that we got the best deals possible. I recommend Will to all of my clients now and indeed anyone I come across that needs a financial planner that will go the extra mile with integrity and skill. Will is a genuine advocate for the rights of people with a disability and his actions match his words. I am grateful to have met Will and I feel a sense of hope for the future of my little family for the first time in a long time.
