Financial success can look very different for everyone, whether it’s living debt-free, building an investment portfolio, or prioritising superannuation for early retirement. No matter what financial success looks like to you, there’s one thing that can accelerate your journey there, and that is a strong relationship with an expert Financial Planner.
When looking to engage the services of a local Geelong Financial Planning firm, it is important that their service offerings can accommodate your lifestyle and needs. Perhaps you are time-poor and prefer phone appointments, or value an active role in the management of your investments with regular reviews. At the Hrkac Group, our Financial Planning team are there when you need, and how you need, but there are certain times when scheduling an appointment may be required to keep you on track for financial success.
As a part of an ongoing advice service arrangement, your Financial Planner should review your financial position at least once a year. At this annual meeting, your Financial Planner will perform a thorough review of your position and current financial strategies. In particular, they should consider the following;
Marriage, a new baby, death, divorce, moving home, the loss of a job and any other major life-changing event can impact your goals, taxes and debt significantly. Ideally, you should consult your Financial Planner if you’re going through any significant life changes at your earliest convenience.
Purchasing a new car, a new home, starting your own business, or acquiring a large debt can also massively impact your financial plan. Your Financial Planner can help outline the advantages and disadvantages of such major financial decisions, and make amendments to your financial strategies to accommodate.
If you have inherited a large sum of money or received a significant bonus or promotion at work, a boost to your finances could be a good prompt to meet with your Financial Planner. Your taxes, strategies, and the structure of your portfolio may be impacted. Your Financial Planner can provide insights and recommendations for investing your new windfall.
For any major changes to your estate plan, you should meet with your Financial Planner to ensure that your financial plan is structured correctly in light of the changes. Of course, your Financial Planner cannot offer legal advice, but they can ensure that your existing investments and strategies are supportive of your estate plan.
Preparing for the comfortable retirement you have earned through years of hard work should be at the top of everyone’s list. Whether it’s a distant thought or just around the corner, a Financial Planner can help determine your retirement income needs, maximise your retirement savings and give you the support you need to retire comfortably.
Whether you’re a sophisticated investor, highly diversified or simply prefer to actively monitor and engage with your portfolio, a more regular formal review may be beneficial. The right Financial Planner will be able to tailor an ongoing service package to meet your needs and offer monthly, quarterly, or biannual review services.
One size does not fit all when it comes to financial advice. Aside from initial meetings and annual reviews, financial advice can be beneficial at the many, various turning points in your life. You should always feel comfortable contacting your Financial Planner any time that you are making important decisions that may impact your finances.
