Our clients include successful professionals and high-ranking executives from some of Australia’s leading companies, so we understand the unique pressures you face. We support you with exclusive investment opportunities and sophisticated strategies to manage your growing wealth, including salary packaging, tax-effective investing, and tailored strategies to manage a concentrated exposure to your company’s stock.
A personalised financial plan
We follow a disciplined wealth planning process, designed to unlock your financial potential and create a holistic plan for every aspect of your financial life:
1. Understanding
Every client is unique, so we begin by exploring your lifestyle aspirations in detail, helping you to create concrete and measurable objectives to act as the centrepiece of your plan. We’ll also clearly outline our services and our fees, so you’ll know upfront what our advice will cost and what you’ll receive in return.
2. Strategy
Once we know where you want to be in life, we’ll develop a strategy designed to help you get there. First, we’ll review your existing investments to ensure they support your goals, identifying any gaps and emerging risks that could impact performance. Then we’ll create an ongoing strategy to maximise your financial potential and protect the lifestyle you have worked so hard to build. We’ll document our suggested approach in a detailed Statement of Advice, setting out your investment, superannuation and wealth protection options, and bringing your financial strategy to life.
3. Implementation
When you’re happy with your financial plan, we can help you execute it, building and managing your portfolio of wealth creation and protection solutions. In doing so, we work in close collaboration with you and other professional advisers, like your accountant, to achieve the best possible outcomes.
4. Review
We’ll meet with you regularly to advise you on your progress and keep you informed about new opportunities, emerging risks and regulatory changes. So you can relax and enjoy life, confident that your financial future is in good hands.
