We all know the importance of goal setting. As the saying goes, “if you aim at nothing you will achieve it every time”. Having defined goals and objectives lets you work towards achieving those goals and optimises your chance of success.
When it comes to financial goals, most people need to plan well ahead to ensure their long-term financial futures. Once you set your goal, a plan can be developed to navigate towards this goal. The route may include bumps and curves like raising a family and upgrading the family home, as well as stopovers like family holidays. But having a plan enables you to head in the right direction, confident that you have a plan to achieve your long-term goals.
Financial planning is more than just simply providing investment advice. It is a comprehensive process which takes account of your existing circumstances, helping to define your goals and priorities, so that appropriate and suitable financial strategies can be put in place to achieve your objectives. Such strategies may encompass superannuation and retirement planning, tax and estate planning, regular savings plans, as well as investment and risk management.
Financial planning is also a continuous process which must take into account changes in your needs, goals and priorities and the changing financial environment to ensure that your financial and investment strategies continue to be relevant.
Everyone’s financial priorities differ. For some they will be the children’s education and mortgage repayments whilst for others seeking financial independence will be the main priority.

We believe that, as accountants, we are in an excellent position to assist in determining appropriate financial strategies to meet your objectives and provide ongoing advice and assistance in a complex and ever changing financial world.

When it comes to building your wealth you are trying to reach a goal.
You need to know what you are aiming for and have a plan to get there.
The starting point of a sound investment strategy is to assess where you are now and where you want to be. You can then develop a strategy to get there. Once this has been done you can then assess the merits of different types of investment and how they can best work for you.
Our approach is to focus on getting the strategy right first. This will include doing a gap analysis so that the gap between where you are now and where you want to be is understood and a plan to bridge that gap can then be developed.
In light of the recent publicity surrounding the financial planning sector, it is fair to ask who you can trust to give you unbiased advice that is tailored to your needs. You want a trusted adviser whose only interest is to get the best solution for you. You want someone who is totally transparent, with no hidden agendas and who fully understands your position and aspirations.
One of the things we all appreciate is how quickly time passes. Each year seems to pass more quickly than the previous one and before you know it, a decade has passed! So it is important for us all to ensure that we make the most of life and the opportunities it brings. This includes planning for retirement.
You can never start too soon to plan for retirement. Building up adequate financial assets whilst raising a family, paying down the mortgage and achieving your lifestyle goals can be a challenge. Careful planning and discipline are integral to success.
There are many things to consider when planning for retirement. Things like: whether superannuation, which can’t be accessed till retirement, is preferable to other forms of investment; what is the most tax effective way to manage leave entitlements; will you be entitled to receive the government Aged Pension or other benefits; and will you be liable for tax during retirement.
So whether you are approaching retirement or planning well ahead of time, we can assist you in maximising the outcomes so that you can enjoy your retirement with adequate income.
Although there are a few notable individuals who have worked on into their 80s most of us will be looking forward to the time when we don’t need to work and can choose how we spend our time.
There are various ways in which people can provide for their retirement but the most common, the most accessible, and usually the most tax-effective, is superannuation.
Saward Dawson has specialist superannuation professionals who can assist you in optimising your superannuation outcomes. This includes strategies such as:
A SMSF is not for everyone. However, for many people who want to be actively involved in the investment of their superannuation funds or who want to hold a diverse range of investments including direct property, a SMSF is ideal. Our SMSF services include:
For some people, planning what happens when we die is a no-go zone. It brings up many emotions but it is an important part of keeping your affairs in order.
There are many things to consider when preparing a will. Questions like: what assets do I have; is my superannuation/life insurance part of my estate; who will care for my children; at what age should my children access the assets of the estate; what if one of my beneficiaries should die and under what circumstances; how is my business or family trust affected; and, what are the tax consequences of death.
Preparation of a clear and effective will is vital. Yet we never cease to be surprised by the number of people who do not have a valid will in place. If you die without a will, the cost and inconvenience to your family is substantial.
So why not start the conversation now? We will guide you through the process of ensuring that an effective will, that meets your desires and wishes, is able to be prepared. Your family will then have peace of mind knowing that if the unexpected should happen, your affairs will be in order.
