Financial empowerment & wealth coaching
With decades of awarded public and private financial and accounting experience, Cass Smith founded Freedom Financial Solutions FFS in 2022 in response to the increasing financial challenges and pressures faced by everyday Australians.
In particular, Cass is committed to helping people find ways to navigate the dynamic changes impacting their freedoms and human rights.
At Freedom Financial Solutions FFS we follow the ‘do as we do’ business model, rather than the more common ‘do as we say’ approach, and offer no incentive-based wealth creation and protection strategies, which is one of the many reasons we stand out from our competitors.
Our professional and highly experienced staff are open-minded, enabling you to speak freely in relation to financial and freedom-related matters.

We have been procrastinating about changing to a SMSF fund for years as we were apprehensive and unsure if it was the right thing to do.
After years of research and countless information sessions we decided to start the process of setting up our SMSF with Freedom Financial Solutions FFS.
Still unsure if we were doing the right thing, we were immediately reassured and confident with the guidance and assistance we received from FFS.
FFS team were very friendly, efficient and very informative on every step of the process, we were relieved that minimal effort was required from us through the whole process.
Our fund was set up in less than a month, FFS provided exceptional expert guidance and advice on every step of the way and we wish we had set up our SMSF years ago
I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you and your team for the excellent service you provided with regards to my SMSF. The perseverance and support your staff showed with the continual roadblocks by the ATO, MSBS & CBUS, was exemplary. The freedom and piece of mind I have now is liberating.
I’d been wanting to take control of my super for many years but been putting it off as I didn’t want to have another thing on my plate to learn and take care of. This was until I joined a Zoom with Cass Smith who explained the service, she provides with her company to not only set up your own SMSF, but also look after managing it.
I just wanted to thank each and every one of you for the highly professional and efficient way you have been through this whole process dealing which each hiccup with patience and grace resolving any issues quickly.
Particular thanks to Cass for having set up such a marvelous team. We look forward to interaction with other members of the team as we move forward. Thank you all once again for a great job.
I would like to thank the FFS group for the easy transition to financial freedom, your staff are always very helpful and I have recommended you to a number of people that are also jumping on board 😊 your tutorials on telegram allow a novice to educate easily in what was deemed once a complicated process, thanks again.
Well Cass I for one am so Grateful that I could achieve my super being placed in an SMSF and ultimately bullion. I didn’t think it was even possible!!! I still pinch myself every day that I did it when I did! I am in such a better place and feel more secure than I ever have done. You are to be congratulated that you are providing this service….and I will guarantee you, you will get busier now! It’s always unfortunate not everyone sees the end from the beginning. God Bless you a MILLIONFOLD for all that you are doing.
It was very clear to me how the fee structure works, and why there was the need for the $660 deposit. It was a no-brainer, so I signed & paid.
Choosing to setup an SMSF was a big decision for me, as somebody who is very technologically-literate, but not so financially-savvy. It has been a journey, and I must have watched every video from yourself and Mary-Jane in the month or so before I decided to pull the trigger.
I’ve found the team to be completely professional, helpful and efficient.
I’m now at the rollover phase, and I feel confident that I’ve made the correct decision in hitching my ship to you and your team. Keep up the great work!!
From the moment I applied and paid for my deposit each team member looked after me and kept me updated on where my application was at. I only asked once which was early on. I was completely aware that they were busy, so I just let them do their thing.
Thank you so much for coming back to me and for all the information. Everyone in the office is so helpful and so accommodating, I am so happy to have found you guys, it’s an amazing team! You all and Cass are so helpful and always informative. I am so excited with my next journey!!! Thank you!
It took only 19 days exactly for FFS to process my SMSF application, including receiving advice from the ATO, the bank and my previous Super Fund. It was a great job by the FFS Team. Only 2 weeks after that, my funds rolled into my new SMSF. It was very smooth altogether, with no drama. I am excited with the new journey with a great team.
The team at FFS were outstanding. My rollover was from Militarily Super, and I have been told by numerous Financial Advisors it was not possible to Rollover to an SMSF.
Well the team at FFS accomplished “the impossible” and provided support and solutions to every obstacle Military Super threw at me. I can’t rate FFS highly enough.
Over the last few months, I had learned that Super fund holders in the USA could transfer their hard earned Super to Gold, before they lost it all from a potential share market crash!
I honestly thought there was no chance I could as well. Until I watched a video with Voice of Freedom who interviewed Cass Smith from FFS I soon realised my wishes had come true and I could do the
same. I immediately set the plan into action and within a few weeks, I had my hard earned Super fund transferred to my own SMSF so I could take care of my own future.
The Team at FFS were brilliant – they did all the hard work. They advised the step by step plan they take, and kept me up to date throughout the whole process.
The team are professional and know their stuff. I could not have done it successfully without them. I AM So Grateful to the team!
Oceans of Gratitude!
Hi there Team… I would and have recommend your business / to anyone whom asked me about SMSF set ups….your team helped myself and husband to work through each step beautifully. Comprehending sometimes was a bit tricky but your team was terrific in helping us to get a handle on things….I have watched all of Caz’s you tube video’s and these were most helpful…thank you Team a job well done…
Hi all, I cannot thank Cass and her team for all that they have done in assisting me in organising my SMSF. They literally did everything to make this an easy process, even to the point that when my original Super Fund starting being difficult it took one email to the team asking for advise and simply being told “leave this to us” and sure enough it was sorted straight away. I would highly recommend Cass and her outstanding team.
We’ve recently moved 300km up north on 35acres and we wanted to take a moment to express our gratitude to Cass and the team, for the unbelievable job you all did in helping us finally get our super into gold and silver.
Your efforts throughout the process have been magnificent, holding our hand as we navigated through this long-awaited and unknown path. We are just so appreciative for all and everything that you all do to help, words just cannot say.
Our super is now safe and sound, where it belongs under our direct control!! Lol And we could not be happier and more grateful!
Cass, you’re a freakin’ legend woman! Thank you again for all that you do xx
Freedom Financial Services provided me an expert service that was an almost hands free option of setting up my SMSF. Delays happened with release of funds from my Super Fund, that blew out the time it took.
The men and women doing the hard yards were professional, persistent and approachable but also very busy. I recommend this business.
It was very daunting at first but once we had completed all of the necessary paperwork, away we went.
The super funds tried very hard NOT to transfer the funds but eventually we had our money safely put away. I have never had so much communication from our super fund, and they are still emailing me with deals.
I am so relieved to be a part of the SMSF, were we control our funds.
