Advice Solutions

Stage 1: Initial Evaluation

During the first meeting:

  • We explain how we operate;
  • We give you an experience of what you can expect from us;
  • You get to decide whether you feel comfortable with us;
  • We get to decide whether we can add value and work together: and
  • We discover insights into the dangers and opportunities you face.

This is important because the relationship can last for many years. If we both agree we can be of assistance, we typically proceed to the next stage. There is no charge for the initial evaluation.


Stage 2: Discovery
We spend considerable time discovering ‘what’s important to you’ and gathering necessary information about you; your current circumstances, family, business; work and employment; including finances, assets and liabilities. A detailed questionnaire will be completed covering aspects of your financial life.
This step involves:

  • Specifying needs and objectives;
  • Identifying personal values; and
  • Identifying specific lifestyle goals.

Having gathered all relevant information we will identify issues that may be pertinent to you. As an example this may include estate planning and tax planning. Having determined these issues in order of priority, we can begin to investigate solutions, develop plan(s) and begin producing strategy options.
Another important part of the discovery is analysing your investor risk profile. It is crucial for us to determine and understand your attitude towards investment risk, your investment timeframe, where you are in your career or business and what your lifestyle revolves around.

Stage 3: Strategic Advice
We will outline clearly and concisely our understanding of your issues from the discovery phase, and if possible, this will contain a course of action. Typically the advice will be a combination of our input and recommendations together with other professionals, ie. your existing accountant and solicitor.
Our advice will cover your asset protection, growth and distribution issues. This provides a solid cornerstone of your strategy. If appropriate you will receive detailed cash flow projections. This will allow you to make informed ‘trade-offs’ on decisions, which effect your ability to achieve your goals. Peace of mind is all about having the confidence that you are ‘on-track’ to achieving your lifestyle goals and fulfilling what’s important to you.

Stage 4: Implementation
Following your agreement and acceptance of our advice, we will arrange for implementation. In implementing, we will co-ordinate with professionals as necessary and as agreed by you.
