Chirnside Park, and the people in it

Our Chirnside Park advisers work with people across Melbourne’s outer east and the Yarra Valley, including Lilydale, Mooroolbark, Croydon, Kilsyth, Mount Evelyn, Healesville, Yarra Glen, Coldstream and Warburton.

The outer east sits where suburban Melbourne stops being suburban. Quarter-acre blocks give way to semi-rural properties, and a significant share of households run a business rather than draw a wage: trades, contractors, growers and the small operators that keep the Yarra Valley running.

Self-employment changes the shape of financial advice. Superannuation is voluntary rather than automatic, income moves year to year, insurance matters more because there is no sick leave, and the business itself is often the largest asset with no obvious buyer. Those are the questions we spend most of our time on here.

What we help with

Almost nobody arrives needing all five. Most people start with one and find the others matter more than they expected.

retirement-planning

Retirement
planning

Retirement planning.** When you can stop, whether the number is enough, and how to turn it into an income that lasts.
superannuation-planning

Superannuation

Contribution strategy, consolidation, insurance inside super, and making sure the structure still suits your stage of life.
investment-advice

Investment
advice

Portfolio construction inside the advice relationship, built around your goals and your tolerance for risk.
personal-life-insurance

Personal
insurance

Life, income protection, total and permanent disability and trauma cover, sized to what your family would actually need.
aged-care

Aged
care

A parent's move into care, the family home, means-tested fees and the timing of it all.
estate-planning

Estate
planning

Wills, powers of attorney, beneficiary nominations and what happens to super, which does not pass through your will by default.

Five stages,
not five hundred pages.

The first conversation costs nothing and commits you to nothing. From there it’s a documented process, and you see the reasoning at every step rather than a recommendation landing on your desk.

Evaluation

Where you are now, what prompted the call, and an honest answer on whether we're the right fit. Sometimes the answer is that you don't need us yet.

Strategy

We build the recommendation, document it, and walk you through the reasoning before you decide anything.
Written advice

Implementation

We put it in place. Applications, rollovers, paperwork, follow-up. You sign, we chase.

Questions to ask your Financial Advisor in Chirnside Park

Why see an adviser in Chirnside Park rather than in the Melbourne CBD?
Because you will actually see them. Our Chirnside Park advisers work in the area, know it, and are easy to get to without taking half a day off. The research, technical support and investment resources behind them are the same ones our Melbourne office uses, because it is the same firm.
Which areas do you cover from the Chirnside Park office?
Chirnside Park and the surrounding area, including Lilydale, Mooroolbark, Croydon, Kilsyth, Mount Evelyn, Healesville, Yarra Glen, Coldstream and Warburton. If you are further out, we can meet by video or arrange to come to you.
Can I meet by phone or video instead of coming in?
Yes, and plenty of our Chirnside Park clients do. The advice is the same either way. Most people mix the two: an initial meeting in person, then reviews by video.
What does financial advice cost?
Fees depend on how complex your situation is and what you need. We quote in writing before you engage, so you decide with the number in front of you rather than after the fact. The first conversation is free and carries no obligation.
Do I have enough money to need an adviser?
Advice tends to matter most at moments of change rather than at a particular balance. Retiring, selling a business or a property, an inheritance, a redundancy, a separation. If you are facing a decision you cannot easily undo, that is usually the point, whatever the number.
Can you help with Age Pension and Centrelink?
Yes. Working out entitlements, how assets and income are assessed, and how a decision about super or an investment affects what you receive is a routine part of retirement advice.
Are your Chirnside Park advisers qualified?
Yes. All of our advisers meet the education, training and ethical standards required to give personal financial advice in Australia and appear on ASIC's Financial Advisers Register. Individual qualifications are listed on each adviser's profile.
What is a best interests duty?
It is a legal obligation to act in your best interests when giving personal advice, and to put your interests ahead of ours wherever the two could conflict. It is the reason a recommendation has to be documented with the reasoning behind it rather than simply asserted.
Do you also do home loans?
Yes, through our Chirnside Park lending team. Advice and lending sit in the same group, so if you are weighing up a mortgage alongside a retirement or investment decision, both conversations can happen together.
