Working with a financial adviser helps you create a clear plan for your future, stay on track toward your goals, and avoid costly mistakes. We provide advice tailored to your unique circumstances, not a one-size-fits-all solution.
That’s perfectly fine. We can review your existing investments, superannuation, and insurance policies to make sure they are still appropriate for your goals and needs. Where it makes sense, we’ll work with what you already have and recommend changes only if they genuinely improve your position.
Our fees are always explained upfront — no hidden costs. Depending on your needs, we may charge a flat fee, an ongoing service fee, or a one-off advice fee. We believe in complete transparency.
We schedule regular reviews (usually annually) to keep your strategy up to date. However, you are welcome to reach out to us at any time, we are here to support you whenever you need.
Life happens and we do our best to plan for it. If your situation changes (new job, inheritance, illness, family changes), we can review and adjust your plan to ensure it remains aligned with your goals.
We do not hold or invest your money directly. Your investments are held securely with reputable platforms and institutions. We act as your strategic adviser, guiding your decisions with care and expertise.
Default insurance through your super may seem convenient, but it comes with major limitations, including no trauma cover, reduced income protection periods, and stricter claim conditions due to being underwritten at claim time, not up front. The cover often decreases over time, doesn’t include valuable features like TPD–Own Occupation, and can be changed at any time by the fund trustee. In our experience, we often find we can secure cover with more features, greater flexibility, and stronger protection, for less than what you're currently paying for your default insurance.
This will differ from person to person as there are several factors that determine the cost of your insurance premiums, including: the amount insured, age, gender, occupation, premium structure, which features are selected, whether you smoke, whether there are any existing health risks.
It’s simple. We offer an initial consultation, no obligation, no cost where we’ll get to know you, discuss your goals, and explain how we can help. From there, we’ll map out the best next steps for you.
