What Our Client Have To Say

Sam and the team have been amazing since we started with them around two decades ago for both property and motor vehicle leasing. The most valuable benefit to us has been the ability to ask their advice and possibilities available to us at any point in time as our position changes. Their knowledge is confidence-inspiring, and takes the guesswork out of the equation. This saves us a lot of time as they have done all the research for us already. We’re a customer for life and would wholeheartedly endorse them to any and all of our family and friends.
Cameron and Dani, Berowra

Thank you Sam, Kirsty and Claire for delivering and delivering with a smile. As a team you’ve truly gone above and beyond to help us achieve the result you have in our financing arrangements.
This was a result our incumbent bank of 15 plus years was uninterested in even attempting.
Dom and Zoe, Seaforth

Dear Sam and Jason
I just wanted to say thank you so much for the help you have given me in finding the right vehicle for me and then sorting the finance out for me.
The service I received was exceptional and the help and support provided in getting everything complete in time was better than any I have received before.
It’s great to know there are still people out there prepared to put 120% into getting their clients what they nee.
Thank you again, I will certainly recommend Astute to all my friends and colleagues.
Sam, Central Coast

Sam and the team did everything to get us our finance and in a short period of time. Very grateful for his knowledge and persistence to navigate through a stressful time.
Alanna, Kingsford

My praise and recommendation for the team at Astute Manly is endless. My case was anything but easy, yet the entire team were constantly on the ball, if not already ahead of the game.
Sam, Claire & Kirsty orchestrated a superbly choreographed routine delivering a stress-free process with solid and sound support every step of the way. I thoroughly enjoyed working with each of them, their flexibility and accommodation working across crazy time zones was outstanding. Not only are they top of their game, they are lovely people.
I honestly couldn’t have achieved the desired result without them. Do yourself a favour and get Astute onboard today!

“We have utilised the services of Sam Ayliffe and his team at Astute Manly for over ten years.
The level of service we have received is always beyond peer and nothing is ever too much trouble. Even though we are based in regional NSW, distance is never an issue because they are always on the front foot in regards to communication and paperwork.
Due to the trust that we have in Sam, we have referred our family and friends to Astute Dee Why many times without hesitation.
Stuart and Sarah, Murrumbateman
