Financial advice · Sydney

Fortune favours the well‑advised.

Personal insurance, business protection and superannuation advice for people who take their financial position seriously — delivered by a licensed adviser, not a call centre.

Initial conversations are obligation-free.

PROTECT STRUCTURE RETIRE FORTUNA ACTIVE WEALTH · EST. SYDNEY

Three practice areas. One adviser across all of them.

Insurance, business protection and super rarely exist in isolation. Advising across all three means the pieces are built to work together — not sold to you separately.

Personal insurance

Life insurance advice for professionals, families and individuals — structured around what your income actually supports.

  • Life cover
  • Total & permanent disability (TPD)
  • Income protection
  • Trauma cover
  • Structuring inside or outside super

Business insurance

Protection for the people your business can't run without, and clean succession terms if an owner exits unexpectedly.

  • Key person insurance
  • Buy/sell (ownership) insurance
  • Funding & ownership structuring
  • Coordination with your accountant & lawyer

Super & retirement

Superannuation strategy for the accumulation years, and structured advice for the transition into retirement.

  • Superannuation advice
  • Retirement planning
  • Self-managed super funds (SMSF)
  • Contribution & pension strategies

Advice scaled to your stage, not a product list.

The right structure looks different for a 32-year-old surgeon, a family with a mortgage, and two directors who own a business together. We start with the position, not the policy.

Professionals

High incomes carry high replacement risk. Income protection and cover structured around your earning capacity, occupation class and tax position.

Families

Mortgage, school fees, a household that runs on one or two incomes. Cover calibrated to what your family would actually need to keep going.

Individuals

No dependants doesn't mean no exposure. Debt, illness and lost income still land somewhere — usually on you.

Business owners

Key person cover for the revenue you can't replace overnight, and buy/sell agreements funded properly so an exit doesn't become a dispute.

Pre-retirees & SMSF trustees

Contribution strategy, pension phase, and whether an SMSF genuinely suits your circumstances — or doesn't.

A defined process, in writing, at every step.

01 — DISCOVER

Understand your position

An obligation-free conversation about your circumstances, goals and what you already have in place.

02 — ADVISE

Written recommendations

A Statement of Advice setting out our recommendations, the reasons for them, and all costs — before you commit to anything.

03 — IMPLEMENT

We handle the paperwork

Applications, underwriting, fund transfers and structuring, managed end-to-end with you kept informed.

04 — REVIEW

Keep it current

Circumstances change. Ongoing reviews make sure your cover and strategy still match your life.

Happy clients spanning Australia-wide and international

We've built lasting relationships with professionals, families and business owners across Australia and internationally, helping them take control of their financial security and plan with confidence.

How Your Adviser Provides Advice

Statement of Advice (SoA)

If your adviser provides personal advice taking into account your objectives, financial situation or needs, you will receive a Statement of Advice (SoA). This contains the advice, the basis on which it is given, remuneration details and any associations that may have influenced the advice. You can request a copy up to seven years from the date advice was provided.

Product Disclosure Statements (PDS)

If your adviser recommends specific financial products, they must provide you with a relevant PDS or product brochure containing key benefits, risks and costs. Read these carefully before making any decision.

What We Expect From You

For your adviser to provide appropriate advice, you need to:

  • Provide accurate information about your financial needs, circumstances and goals
  • Read all supporting documents carefully to make informed decisions

Anti-Money Laundering

We are obligated under Anti-Money Laundering and Counter Terrorism Financing Act to verify your identity and source of funds. Your adviser will request identification documents such as passport or driver's license. This information is held securely. We cannot provide services if you are unwilling to provide this information.
