Seeking financial advice can be a great way to make the most of what you have today and prepare for tomorrow.
An adviser will work to first understand your individual circumstances and goals, before crafting a way forward. They can provide a clearer picture of your current financial position and help create strategies to achieve your financial goals.
Anytime is a good time to start thinking about and planning for your future. People often seek financial advice in preparation for, or in response to, certain life stages and events such as:
- Getting married
- Purchasing your first property – or your next
- Starting or growing your family
- Starting a business
- Career change or change in income
- Retirement
Some of the common ways financial advice can assist you include:
- Debt and cash flow management
- Wealth creation and protection
- Investment strategies
- Retirement and estate planning
To get the most out of meeting with an adviser, it is best to go in prepared, knowing:
- What you own: property, car, savings, super, investments, and the insurances you have in place
- Your debts and obligations: what you owe on your mortgage, credit cards, personal loans, car leases, student loans and any other debts
- Your income and living expenses
- Your financial goals and what you would like to achieve
