By admin | Estate Planning, LIfe Lessons | 0 comment | 21 March, 2017 |

ARE YOU PREPARED ? INSURANCE ? Last week my brother-in-law had to undergo surgery. It was a planned surgery and considered quite routine by the surgeon. He should have been in and out in just a few days, home and rested and then returning to work. What we didn’t know when he went in forRead more

[kkstarratings] Some people think that their ‘Will’ will cover everything. Many people may be surprised to learn that estate planning covers more than ‘Wills’.

DIVORCE Well, it’s happens to lots of marriages these days. Half in fact. Staggering numbers but it is reality.

INDUSTRY SUPER VS FINANCIAL ADVISER

By admin | Blog, Estate Planning, Shares, Options trading and other investments, SMSF & Superannuation | 0 comment | 9 May, 2016 |

Industry super versus  financial adviser. Oooooh we just said a swear word – “financial adviser”.  There is a stigma that surrounds the financial planning industry, stemming from the industry super funds and a very successful marketing campaign that has run on TV.

LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP – GET ADVICE FIRST

By admin | Blog, Estate Planning, Rental / Property Investment, Small Business, Tax time / planning | 0 comment | 9 February, 2016 |

Accountants are always advising their clients to contact them prior to making any decisions. Once people hear this, they think ‘how much will it cost?’. They don’t think “how much will l save in the long run?”. So instead of calling us to get advice first, they make the decision on their own. Then laterRead more
