Before we meet

  • A recent super statement for each account (or a myGov screenshot).
  • A rough idea of what comes in and goes out each month.
  • Any loans, and your home value if you own one.
  • Your questions. There are no silly ones.

In the meeting

We talk about you first: your family, work, what you want life to look like and what keeps you up at night. Then we look at the numbers together. You will not need to wear a suit, and neither do we.

By the end you should know whether we can help, and roughly how. There is no obligation to go further.

If you go ahead

Personal advice is set out in a Statement of Advice (SOA), which explains our recommendations, why we made them, the risks and the costs. We will give you our Financial Services Guide before we provide advice.
