[su_spoiler title=”Do you need Financial Advice?” style=”fancy”]

Our financial future is extremely important and the complexity of life has proved that achieving financial goals is not as simple as putting money away in a bank. Therefore when it comes to wealth creation, retirement planning and protecting your future, seeking professional advice from a financial planner is essential.

Financial planning is a specialist profession and you should make sure that you are getting advice from a properly qualified person. A financial planner will help you reach your goals; even if retirement may seem a lifetime away, the sooner you start planning the more likelihood you’ll have to achieve financial independence and peace of mind.

[su_spoiler title=”What sort of advice do you need?” style=”fancy”]

Advice you seek from a financial planner can be either holistic advice or scaled advice.

For confidence that every aspect of your financial situation is thoroughly considered, choose comprehensive holistic advice. Generally, holistic advice will cover strategies to not only build wealth, but also to manage expenses, protect your family, lifestyle and assets, plan your income for now and in retirement, and determine how to pass your wealth onto the next generation, all in a tax effective manner. Regularly reviewing your circumstances and objectives is an important part of holistic advice, and ensures you stay on track to achieving your dreams.

Scaled advice is means that you could see a financial planner for a particular purpose that is most relevant to you at any point in time – without the need to go through a holistic process that takes your full financial situation into account. While scaled advice can make financial planning more affordable, it’s important to not lose sight of the bigger picture. This is where a professional financial planner can help you to take a step back and review your total financial situation.

Topics your financial planner can advise you on include:

  • maximising your super
  • tax effective strategies
  • transition to retirement
  • retirement income stream options
  • retirement planning including 54/11 and age retirement
  • investments – inside and outside of superannuation
  • life and income protection insurance
