We’ve known Brent for a number of years, having worked together before he became our financial planner, so it felt natural to trust him with our family’s future. He brings the same care, integrity and practical thinking to our finances as he does to his business. Brent’s helped us put a clear plan in place to make sure our son will always be well looked after, which means a lot to us. And even when he’s not around, Tom, Caitlin and the rest of the team are always happy to step in and help — they’re great to deal with. We really value Brent's advice and the thoughtful way he approaches every conversation.

The Financial Planning section have been very professional, knowledgeable and efficient in their services to us. I like the fact that they have a few in their team so there is always someone who I can talk to. I am very happy to recommend this team for people seeking trustworthy Financial Planners.

I’ve been with Kenna’s nearly all of my working life- they really do provide the best advice and look after all my finance needs very carefully. Brent and Peter are fantastic, along with all the staff - they’re constantly up to date and make sure the organisation continues to evolve as the finance world does. Would not hesitate to recommend.

Our first experience with Kennas was in 1999 as an accountancy firm for our business. We were so impressed with our connection and service that it naturally progressed to Kennas Financial Services when we retired. We have always been treated as valued clients no matter what our financial standing has been. The service from Brent down to each of his team members has been second to none. Nothing is too much trouble and Kennas Financial Services has always tried to meet our wishes and expectations in a timely and friendly manner. We are without a doubt happy clients and part of the Kennas family. We can highly recommend their services.

We have been with Kennas for over 15 years, Brent Giles has set us up for our future in making our retirement secure and comfortable. Brent is a lovely man very approachable and very honest with any question we ask, we can ring Brent anytime if we are needing advice if Brent is busy with a client he will always ring us back. I talk to our accountant Dannielle often shes a lovely lady and is always helping me with our Tax and GST. The ladies at the front desk are very professional and friendly. Ian and Lenor Harvey

We have been a client of Kennas for nearly 40 years, and in that time, we have always experienced friendly service and timely advice which has allowed us to have confidence in dealing with other agencies eg. ATO and Banks. Although we have dealt with several Partners, we have especially appreciated the personal attention we have received and an understanding of our changing circumstances.
