Margaretha Gouwanda. Freelance Accountant.

I first met Diana in year 2006 at IT Show Roadshow. I started with a small endowment policy as I had just entered the workforce. Since then, Diana always arranges regular meet ups, at least once or twice a year, to review my policies. She recommends new policies and solutions to ensure that my family continuously has enough coverage to meet our financial needs at different life stages. As I have budget constraints at times, she will make adjustments to maximize my portfolio while keeping my premiums affordable. Diana is professional, meticulous, friendly and approachable. She is helpful and fast whenever I need to file any insurance claims, and this allows me to have a total peace of mind. She is now not only my financial consultant, but also a friend whom i can trust deeply.

Through it all, we have seen each other through major life events and she has always been there for me and providing help and support.

Looking forward to more professional advice and services from her in the future.

When I knew Diana through a mutual friend, she had already come with many years of experience in the industry. Diana was able to quickly identify the right policies and solutions that suit my lifestyle and family's needs. She was able to provide insightful advice that helped me understand the importance of building a portfolio to help support my children's future education needs. She will also help me navigate any paper work and claims processes whenever there is a need. Diana would also regularly check in with me to update on our situation. Over the years, she has become a reliable support. I am glad to say that she is now a personal friend that I will recommend to anyone who needs her expertise.
