Fee-for-service

How our fees are calculated

Get a free consultation

Our fees are tailored to each client’s individual situation. They are based on the level of support and strategies that your plan includes. To us, this is the best and fairest method: you pay based on the services we are delivering. There are no hidden costs or complex payment system – just a simple fee-for-service.

To determine the cost of our services for you, your adviser will get to know your situation, including your lifestyle needs and your goals, at your Discovery session.  At the end of this meeting, we’ll provide you with a transparent quote based on what services we recommend for you. You will have the opportunity ask any questions about our fees and strategy recommendations.

We do not accept conflicted remuneration and receive no commissions on superannuation or investments (we do receive commissions on certain life insurance products).

Breaking down our fees

We’ll tailor our fees to your situation, but they will always follow this structure. This is based on the different stages of work that we do for you.

There are no hidden fees and you’ll receive a detailed fee schedule that you can refer to at any time.

Commitment Fee

Price: ranges from $354 to $990.
Your commitment fee is for us to start creating your personalised strategy. At this stage, you’ll also receive a quote for all fees based on our recommended services.

Implementation Fee

Price: starts at $2,800 per person
Once you have chosen to become a client, we will implement your plan. This often includes setting up accounts, investments, superannuation planning, and activating other strategies.
The fee range will depend on the plan complexity. A portion of this fee is tax deductible, and some can be charged from superannuation.

Ongoing Service Fee

Price: Starting at $250 per month.
Following implementation, we will continue maintaining your plan, investments, and other strategies. Each year, we will complete a review of your progress towards your goals, and meet with you to discuss any changes you’d like to make. Our ongoing service allows you to have a financial professional on your side at all times.

THE VALUE OF ADVICE
How we add value

Holistic advice is about more than just money. It allows you to focus on what is most important to you and your family, and use your money with clarity and confidence to create the life you want to live.

But what is the actual value of advice? Well, we believe that our fees should be vastly outweighed by the enhancement to your life and finances that our advice provides, both in the value added to your bottom line, as well as in peace of mind.

Our holistic range of services are supported by our network of connections to some of the best complimentary service providers. Your adviser acts as a project manager to recommend when additional services might be needed. Clients extend our services at the end of each twelve-month period by signing an agreement for the next 12 months, however, you can request to change or exit our professional relationship at any time.

Our ongoing service allows us to be

  • Continually monitoring, adapting, evolving, and adjusting to any legislative or market changes, as well as any changes to your circumstances
  • Providing accountability and support for you to reach your financial goals
  • Updating your strategy as you reach financial milestones
  • Here to answer your questions and help with financial decisions
  • Providing ongoing investing and management, including rebalancing

THE VALUE OF ADVICE
What the research says

Russell Investments conducts an annual review on the value of having an adviser. In 2023, they found that the value that advisers added to their clients was 5.9% per annum, based on the benefits in their ABCT framework.

Research by Morningstar, published in the Journal of Retirement (“Alpha, Beta, and Now…Gamma”) demonstrated that better financial decision-making across asset allocation, withdrawal strategy, guaranteed income products, tax-efficient allocation, and portfolio optimisation can create an average of 29% more income for retirees! They also found that personalised advice and a combination of strategies could help 71.2% of households avoid an austere retirement.

David Blanchett wrote in “The Value of Goals-Based Financial Planning” (published in the Journal of Financial Planning), that research supports personalised goals-based investing, which can result in up to 15% more client wealth.

Insignia Financial, a top ASX200 company, published their True Value of Advice study in 2020, which found that 90% of clients who see an adviser say that it has left them in a better position. They cite improved mental health (50%), less stress (88%) and better relationships (41%).

Is Financial Advice For You?

Now that you know our fee profile and the value you will receive, it’s important to note that financial advice isn’t for everyone. We hope to help as many people as possible, but we may recommend that advice isn’t right for you at this time. If we cannot help, we’ll do our best to refer you to a service that can. This could be for financial reasons, or maybe you’re looking for a different style of advice or specialisation which we don’t offer.

For example: we don’t offer one-off advice. We also don’t provide advice on one area without considering your whole financial situation.
