Organise, grow and spend your money with confidence
We help Aussies make savvy financial decisions.
You don't want to be chained to your desk until you're 67
You see everyone else around you getting ahead, and although you earn a decent income, you feel like you are spinning your wheels financially and get that little pang of guilt when you spend money.
You picture all the exciting things you will do with your time when work becomes optional, and you're not running around after everyone. But, you have no idea when you will have enough money to wind down or pull up stumps entirely from your day job.
You are not alone. We'll help you figure it out.
We help you get your money sorted
At Apex Advice we want to help you find that financial sweet spot where you can enjoy your money now (guilt-free) and make smart moves for your future.
Control
Get your money organised and working on autopilot, so you aren't hanging out for your pay to hit the bank account.
Clarity
Feel clearer and better about your money, knowing you are making the most of your financial situation.
Confidence
Pull the trigger on big life choices like working less, starting a business or saying goodbye to work completely.
We want to know your 'why'
We know it's a head spin trying to make sense of all the information in the media and on Google about money. And a lot of the advice is geared towards older people on the precipice of retirement.
At Apex Advice, we make financial advice simple and accessible to a younger cohort of busy professionals, like you, who want to live it up now and save for the future without sacrificing either.
We sort out the unsexy stuff like super and insurance, but what makes us tick is helping you identify and accomplish what matters most to you. It's why we get to know your 'why' before we help you with the 'how' of your money.
We have been working with John Manserra from Apex Advice for a few years now. John has a knack for simplifying complex financial concepts, making it easy for clients to understand and make informed decisions. John has helped us get clear on our priorities and helped us craft a strategy which aligns with our goals. Working with John has given us a sense of financial security while we work towards financial freedom. I recommend his services to anyone seeking expert financial advice.

John has tailored a plan that is specific to our goals and we can for the first time in years see a light at the end of the tunnel. I would highly recommend John to anyone who needs guidance on how to get ahead in life."

I’m time poor and worry about having my affairs in order. As soon as I met John I knew we would have a fabulous working relationship. He developed a strategy, explained everything and put my mind at ease. Great man - I trust his expertise and I think I’ll be using his skills and knowledge for as long as he will have me as a client.

I have worked with John and team for over 7 years now, and they have been outstanding in helping me plan my finances.My financial situation is in a much better place due to their guidance and support. I have gained confidence with working with my money and now make better choices when it comes to my finances. John has excellent communication and always takes the time to talk me through everything, so I understand, especially when it comes to Superannuation. Not only is John a superb financial advisor he has also been like a mentor to me, and I couldn't recommend him and his team enough.
Kate P.
Highly Recommend - Prior to engaging with John & The Apex Advice Team, I was financially disorganised & uncertain about my direction. Now after working with John & the team, I know I always have the right money in the right place at the right time. I now have full confidence in my direction. Things are explained clearly so I know exactly what we are doing & why.

Everyone needs to use Apex Advice for their financial planning. We wish we had contacted John years ago. John met with my wife and myself 3 times to get to know us, what we were looking for in retirement and what our current financial position was. John confirmed that we could have more than we thought and outlined how it could make it happen, all at no charge. It was an easy decision to then sign up and put our financial security into John's hands.We have recommended that our kids should ring John and see what he can do for them. So should you.

John & the team have been absolutely fantastic to deal with.From my first interaction, John has been very professional and provided outstanding advice. Nothing is ever too much trouble and things get done very efficiently. The team have put some new practices into place that are super easy and I don't have to worry about a thing! Can highly recommend John & the Apex Team!!
Gabrielle C.
I never really saw myself as someone who would use a financial advisor but I took the plunge a few months ago and it's been the best decision I've made in years.John listened to our goals and provided some much needed guidance on how we are best to achieve them. He has given my wife and I clarity and a simple plan to follow.Johns extensive knowledge on often confusing subjects such as insurance, tax, banking and superannuation has really taken the stress out of all decision-making in these areas.After a few small tweaks to how cash now flows, I feel like I actually have more money which is always a great feeling.
Joseph F.
John made all the confusion around money management simple and easy to follow. He did all the background research and hard work to make my choices simple. John and his team were prompt and had all my paperwork organised within a couple of weeks. I would highly recommend for anyone who wants to get a head start on their finances.
Bryana B.
Since moving all of our financial planning to Apex my wife and I have been blown away with the expertise, energy and communication that John has provided us. We feel as though we now have a greater understanding as to how our super, insurance and investments are set up and working for us. We finally have our financial future in the right hands!
Ryan O.

HIGHLY RECCOMENDOver the weekend I had to do a bit of reflection to appreciate where I’ve come from.There is no words that can explain how truley grateful I am to have met John. I perviously had a bad relationship with money due to past relationships and felt hopeless to fix my financial situation.Now almost 18 months on I am debt free and well on my way to achieing my goal of buying my first home. With John 's stratagies I now look forward to getting paid to see my balance grow and have a healthy relationship with money.Thankyou so much to John and the team at Hillross Geelong for all your help, you’ll never understand how much I appreciate it!!!

shaun B.
I couldn’t recommend John more highly. He helped to better understand how my income could easily support my investment and travel related goals. With John’s help I feel like I’ve had a pay rise and never feel like I’m hanging out for the next pay day to come. A big thanks to Mim for all her assistance as well, you are wonderful!
Tessa M.
John's guidance has helped my wife and I plan financially for our future as we move into our retirement years.I highly recommend John for his integrity, diligence and personal approach.
David R.
I really like the way John works, taking into account 'less straightforward' financial periods and also prioritising life goalsmuch appreciated!
Nicola G.
I was working a full-time job that paid quite well. Although, I still had a few credit card debts, and absolutely no savings.So, I seeked for help! Most of the financial planners I met, gave me a 'cookie cutter' advice on 'how much money to save before retirement', and on 'why I should buy a property'. It didn't resonate with me at all.John's first question was, "what is you ideal way of living?"I wanted to work for myself, travel and learn.Over the course of the next month and 4 meetings, John educated me in terms of basic financial literacy, and laid out a plan to get me out of debt while also saving money for my future business.In 9 months, I was debt free, started a small kombucha brewery, and planned a 2 week backpacking trip to Tasmania.If you want a humble and friendly dude that knows the game, listens to your goals, and then backs it up with result focussed solutions, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND JOHN!
Haan H
I couldn't recommend John more highly. I have worked with John on both a personal and professional level. It is obvious that his key strengths are attention to detail and the ability to adapt to each clients individual circumstances.John takes pride in listening to his clients objectives and and then implementing a plan of attack to reach such goals.
Daniel R.
John provides me with comprehensive advice on a range of financial products, from insurance & superannuation to investment portfolios. I have always been impressed with John’s professionalism, and personal service. John has always gone the extra mile to ensure his advice is tailored to my specific circumstances & needs.

John has been amazing with clients. His honesty and integrity had made all Monday matters feel easy!

Whatever the financial position you are in, whether it be having surplus funds to invest or just looking to formulate a strategy to get ahead, John and co have a wealth of knowledge to share, a track record of achieving excellence and a personable and sensitive nature.
