Empowerment in Action: From 5,000 Plans to Global Recognition
What if financial peace could be made predictable? In an age of financial noise, bold promises, and “silver bullet” strategies, some advice stands out for a very different reason: it’s built to last.
This year, Empower Wealth returns to the global stage with its second consecutive Pan Finance Wealth Advisory Award, a recognition that reflects not flashy growth or hype, but the consistent delivery of personalised, education-led advice that helps Australians build lasting financial confidence.
Over the past 12 months, that commitment has taken shape in a number of ways. From expanding tools and resources to reaching new milestones in client support and education, the work continues: quietly, purposefully, and with impact.
Read on to explore how Empower Wealth is turning its mission into measurable outcomes.
Plans That Start With People, Not Products
Empower Wealth’s advisory approach is built on the understanding that every financial journey is different. With in-house specialists in property planning, mortgage broking, financial planning, buyers agency, and tax and accounting, the firm brings together multiple perspectives to create one integrated plan.
That approach has helped people at every stage of life, from first-time buyers to investors and retirees, to navigate complex decisions with clarity and purpose.
In 2025, the firm reached a new milestone: over 5,000 Property Wealth Plans delivered, each tailored to individual goals, timelines, and risk profiles.
“We’ve never viewed our work through the lens of awards or growth for its own sake,” says Ben Kingsley, Founder and Managing Director. “Our focus has always been on the person in front of us, making sure the advice we provide fits their life, and helps them move toward financial peace.”
Learning That Leads to Action
Empower Wealth places education at the centre of its model, operating on the belief that informed decisions lead to better outcomes. That philosophy has shaped The Property Couch, a podcast co-hosted by Ben Kingsley and long-time business partner and Buyers Agent, Bryce Holdaway.
Now in its tenth year, the podcast has reached more than 17 million downloads and remains one of Australia’s most trusted property and finance resources. To year also saw the duo release their latest book: How to Retire on $3K a Week. Offering practical frameworks and guidance designed to help readers of investing level to build passive income and long-term financial confidence.
“For us, it's about more than just property,” says Bryce. “It’s about helping people to reach financial peace and create their lifestyle by design. It’s about giving them back their time, freedom, and peace of mind.”
Moorr: Making Your Financial Picture Make Sense
Education is powerful, but it becomes truly effective when paired with the right tools. That’s where Moorr comes in. Moorr is a free personal finance platform developed by Empower Wealth to help everyday Australians track, plan, and project their financial journey with greater clarity. Users can monitor cash flow, debt, assets, goals, and long-term net position in one place.
In the past year, Moorr has added two new revolutionary features designed to make financial management more accessible:
- MyKNOWLEDGE, a curated library of educational content for users at any stage of their journey, and
- MyPROPERTY, a dashboard that helps property owners and investors track performance, test cash flow scenarios, and better understand their overall wealth position
As Ben explains, these tools are designed to support action, bridging the difficult gap between education and execution.
So, What Does Success Look Like?
Awards like Pan Finances are deeply appreciated, but for Empower Wealth, they’re a reflection of values in action, not the destination.
The firm measures success through meaningful metrics:
- Tangible improvements in client financial wellbeing
- Lasting educational impact
- Ethical, sustainable delivery of advice
- Deep user engagement with its tools, content, and community
In addition to Pan Finance’s recognition, 2025 also saw Amanda Jachowski, one of the firm’s Qualified Property Investment Advisers (QPIA), named QPIA of the Year by the Property Investment Professionals of Australia (PIPA). It highlights the growing recognition of a values-led model that prioritises ethics, education, and long-term client success.
With a rolling Net Promoter Score of 90, the message from clients is clear: Empower Wealth’s approach is working, and it’s making a real difference.
A Future Built on Empowerment
As Empower Wealth continues to scale its services and tools, one thing remains unchanged: its mission to help Australians gain the confidence, clarity, and control to create a life by design.
That journey might begin with a podcast, a chapter in a book, or a few insights inside Moorr. It might continue through a personalised wealth plan or an advisory conversation that reframes someone’s financial future.
Wherever it begins, the destination is always the same: financial peace.
“Awards are always an honour, but for us, the real reward is seeing another family put their plan into action—another client taking that next step toward a life by design,” says Kingsley.
