When money feels complicated, real life gets put on hold

You know the feeling. You read financial articles, listen to money podcasts, and even chat with friends about investing – yet somehow end up with more questions than answers.

Meanwhile, big life decisions wait in limbo:

  • Are we saving enough for the future while still living well today?
  • How do we turn good income into genuine financial progress?
 

At Financial Purpose Wealth, we focus on what actually moves the needle – the 20% of actions that drive 80% of your financial results.

Werner Jansen van Vuuren

Financial advice without the confusing jargon and rigid fee structures

Hey there. I’m Werner (pronounced Verner).

My mission is to make financial advice accessible to more Australians.

The traditional financial planning model can deter people from getting advice because they feel trapped in complex, jargon-filled relationships where they don’t understand what they’re paying for.

We do things differently.

We believe success means empowering you to need us less over time, not more.

We offer service options that fit your needs – from one-off scenario sessions to help you weigh up the options for a big decision to full-service financial advice with ongoing support.

Clients tell me working together feels like a weight lifted – they finally have someone who makes money matters clear, actionable, and even (dare we say it) enjoyable.

I’ve been working with Werner for 3 months via weekly zoom meetings to set my finances up for the long term. So far we covered budgeting, investing in shares and superannuation and insurances and property investing. Werner has been very responsive and professional in helping me get the foundations right for my financial goals. As someone in their 20s, I am glad I took the big step in seeking out professional financial coaching. Highly recommend his service.

Kim & Ryan - 42 & 45 ACT
★★★★★
I’ve been working with Werner for a few years now and I can say he has been the best financial planner I’ve had out of the 20+ years I’ve been engaging in financial planning services. Werner’s communication is top shelf and he never leaves you wondering what’s going on or where he is up to. He is responsive and flexible and increasingly supportive to my ever-changing needs and goals. Werner respects and celebrates that everyone has different financial profiles and he optimises this for me. Thank you team!
Jordan - 39, NSW
★★★★★
Werner has been an excellent asset to my partners and my wealth creation, the team he has  been superb in communication and expertise. Also, Werner has skills in relationship coaching! Haha. My partner and I had some difficulties in the adjustment, with Werner’s help he got us both on the same page. We are now 6 months in and on our way to getting our 2nd investment property next year. Best call I ever made was calling him for help. Thanks legend
Tamara - 34, NSW
★★★★★
Coming from someone who had always taken risk with my money, came to realise that there was a lot of past traumas and money habits that came from my upbringing. It wasn't until I started to work with Werner and created discipline in my wealth, I started to see the wealth grow, because I created a new habit and followed a really sustainable system that has now shown that progress is being made with wealth creation. This has been the best decision, not only for me but for my partner. HIGHLY recommend Financial Purpose Wealth
Sophia - 51, NSW
★★★★★
I was referred to Werner's independent financial advisory service by my VERY well-trusted mortgage broker. But I was halfway through the Melissa Caddock podcast- So I was a bit wary! Fear not! Werner is passionate about making your money work better for you with the minimum of fuss, with clear explanations, and with thoughtful regard to personal circumstances. I highly recommend Werner's service for WOMEN also.
Mandy - 45, NSW
★★★★★
This was the first time I used a financial adviser, so I was quite hesitant and uncertain about what to expect. I have to say I have been pleasantly surprised by Werner. No jargon, practical, educational and fun actually! Werner has an easy going way that has resonated with me. He has gone above and beyond. No shortcuts. My eyes have opened to what's possible with my planning and I have gained so much more clarity and control about where I am heading. Thank you!
Andrea - 28, QLD
★★★★★
As a young person with no prior experience with professional financial advice, I was very fortunate to have had Werner reach out to me through Bark. He is a highly educated and capable individual who is organised, methodical, and overall trustworthy--a rarity given the nature of the industry. I appreciate his combined personal and research-based approach to financial planning, as well as his honesty and no-nonsense method of delivery. I highly recommend Werner if you are looking for an advisor who cares deeply about creating the best possible outcome for his clients and ensuring financial security.
Lynda & Steve - 58 & 65 QLD

It is an absolute great experience working with Werner. From the initial chat we had to actually meeting to discuss my financial options and plans he’s been very professional. He took the time to patiently discuss with me my options and the implications of my decisions to my future financial well-being. But what stands out the most was his willingness to listen and get to know more about me and provided valuable insights along the way. highly recommended.

I recently had the privilege of working with Werner who completely transformed my perspective on financial planning. From the very first consultation, it was evident that he was committed to providing a personalised experience that went beyond the numbers. His ability to listen attentively and ask thought-provoking questions not only made us feel valued, but it also enabled him to craft a financial strategy tailored specifically to our needs.
Kalani - 29, NSW
★★★★★
Werner was very helpful with his coaching, going into depth in the areas I didn’t understand and clarifying the areas I did, would highly recommend and look forward to working with again.
Dom & Mel - 47 & 46, NSW
★★★★★
Definitely the best financial adviser I have worked with. Werner is the first adviser we've worked with who actually cared about what we wanted and actively created a practical plan around our objectives, rather than just giving us a spreadsheet and saying they will see us next year. I'd would certainly recommend Werner to anyone looking for an adviser.
Mai & Chantra - 40 & 40, NSW
★★★★★
This is the first time we are seeking a financial advisor and Werner was very patient and explained everything in detail. His communication was prompt and he followed up regularly. Werner took the time to create videos to explain concepts to ensure we understood technical terms. We felt very comfortable with him. I would highly recommend his services.
Paul - 83, NSW
★★★★★
Werner - our interactions are well timed, and the outcomes are spot on. I feel secure with our retirement plan. Would highly recommend.

I love Werner's pragmatic views on planning and being optimistic for the future, while enjoying the present and what's important right now! He is very open and super easy to work with.

John – 38, QLD
★★★★★
I had a desire to take a bit more control of my financial future but needed someone trustworthy to provide me with the essential knowledge, tools and confidence needed to make smart choices. I decided to give Werner a go and I do not regret it at all. He provided all these things and, importantly, gave me space to arrive at my own decisions through my own reasoning. I would recommend Werner’s course to anyone who wishes to strengthen their financial position and increase their likelihood of financial freedom in the future. Thanks Werner!
Bek – 41, NSW
★★★★★
I couldn’t speak more highly of Werner, especially the guidance he provides. He is open and honest and genuinely wants to see people succeed in their endeavours. I had no financial knowledge and he made me feel completely at ease the entire journey and I was even able to learn new skills along the way too. I will be forever grateful, thanks Werner!
Ray – 65, NSW
★★★★★
Werner is very approachable and friendly, he took the time to help me understand the complexities of superannuation and communicated in a none hurried way the path forward. He answered all my questions promptly and accurately. I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone in need of financial planning.
Chris & Tess – 40 & 35, QLD
★★★★★
The moment I met Werner I knew he was someone I could trust. I interviewed several financial advisors and generally found out they were too costly or their 'too good to be true offers' had various hidden costs. But that's not the case with Werner. He is a diamond in the rough and as a professional life coach, I advise my own clients to see him when it comes to creating financial freedom. Don't look any further, Werner is your guy!
Stanley – 65, NSW
★★★★★
It is an absolute pleasure to be guided by Werner. He is very knowledgeable and he gives a 5 star service
Richard – 71, VIC

After several quotes, I chose to work with Werner to review my Superannuation position. I found his advice thorough and suitable to my needs. The process went very smoothly and all my discussions with Werner were very clear and understanding. Now that the rollover is completed, I am very happy with the service and my position and look forward to an ongoing relationship with the company.
Charity – 36, NSW
★★★★★
One of the best things that I did was choosing Financial Purpose Wealth to get advice and guidance on managing my money. It was my first time seeking expert advice and Werner (financial advisor) was very thoughtful, understanding and was invested in genuinely understanding what my goals and concerns were. This allowed us to come up with a strategy that worked for my personal circumstance. I would highly recommend FPW for those looking for expert and thoughtful financial advice and guidance.
