When new clients approach us, it can be with many and differing perceptions of what we do. Are we investment advisers? Stockbrokers? Tax experts? Superannuation specialists? Financial coaches, retirement planners, insurance advisers etc etc.

The reality is we are mixtures of all or many of these perceptions and in fact may have differing roles for each and every client.

From a client viewpoint, what is important is that we have capability in many areas of finance and investment. Sometimes this capability allows us to recognise that certain elements of our expertise are not required for your situation. Sometimes it helps us to make the difficult decision to inform a potential client that we may not be the most appropriate firm for their needs.

Most importantly, we have developed skills and undertaken significant education to allow us to assist and educate our clients to help navigate an increasingly complex financial world. The internet has given us all access to so much information. Unfortunately that much information can create paralysis!

We can help simplify, quantify, calculate, educate and advise, both now and for many years to come, including across the following areas:

• Cash flow, savings and debt management.
• Strategies to maximise after tax income and savings.
• Development of programs to enhance wealth and financial security.
• Advice and collaboration to implement investment strategies.
• Ongoing advice and education to ensure risk and return are appropriate and well understood.
• Where required, assistance with family and business insurance and estate planning (through qualified professionals).
