Planning and Consolidation

Planning your next chapter, your way

You’re probably beginning to think more about retirement. You may be ready to step back from full-time work, start accessing super, or just want to know you’re on track for the kind of lifestyle you have in mind.

Maybe your circumstances have changed — through a career pivot, business sale, redundancy or divorce — and you’re thinking about life after full-time work earlier than expected.

Common goals at this stage include:
  • Understand super access and contribution rules
  • Plan a step-down or full retirement
  • Protect and grow wealth in the lead-up to retirement
  • Clarify income and lifestyle needs
  • Finalise estate and legacy planning
  • Review risk protection
Planning and Consolidation: Comprehensive advice strategies
  • Layered strategies for wealth and legacy
  • Advanced tax considerations like capital gains tax planning
  • Education and investment bonds
  • Transition-to-retirement income strategies
  • Maximising super contribution strategies and perhaps some withdrawal planning
  • Tax effective investments and cash flow advice
