Your financial situation is unique and understanding it fully is the first step toward building, growing, and protecting your wealth. A comprehensive financial health check can help you identify opportunities, manage risks, and ensure your strategy aligns with your life goals.
At Matthews Steer, our experienced Wealth Advisers work with individuals and business owners in Melbourne to deliver tailored, strategic advice across all areas of your financial life.
Superannuation: Plan for a Comfortable Retirement
- Do you know how much you need to retire comfortably?
- Have you considered your overall retirement strategy?
- Are you maximising your super contributions, including salary sacrifice opportunities?
- Do you have multiple super funds that could be consolidated for simplicity and efficiency?
A thorough review of your super can help you achieve long-term growth, reduce unnecessary fees, and make the most of government incentives.
Budgets and Cashflow: Make Your Money Work for You
- Do you have a plan for your savings and future life events?
- Are you clear on how your cashflow affects your wealth creation strategies?
Understanding your budget and cashflow is key to making informed decisions about spending, saving, and investing – and ultimately growing your financial security.
Estate Planning: Protect Your Legacy
- Do you have a current Will, and is it up to date?
- Do you understand what happens to your assets when you pass away?
- Are you aware of the tax implications for your estate?
Effective estate planning ensures your wealth is distributed according to your wishes and minimises unnecessary tax burdens for your beneficiaries.
Insurance: Safeguard Your Financial Security
- Are you adequately insured for Life, TPD, Trauma, and Income Protection?
- Would you like an independent review of your insurance needs?
- How would you fund living costs if you were unable to work?
Insurance is a critical part of any financial plan, providing protection for you and your family in case of unexpected events.
Investments: Align Your Strategy with Your Goals
- Do you have a clear investment strategy?
- Are your investments aligned with your goals and risk profile?
- Are you satisfied with your investment returns?
A well-structured investment plan can help you achieve your financial objectives while balancing risk and reward.
Debt Management: Stay in Control
- Is your debt being regularly reviewed and managed?
- Are you aware of the interest rates you are paying?
- When was the last time you discussed your loan terms with your bank?
Managing debt effectively can reduce financial stress and free up resources for investment and savings.
Tax Strategy: Keep More of What You Earn
- Do you feel you pay more tax than necessary?
- Are you using strategies to legally minimise tax and build wealth?
- Are you receiving the right guidance from your accountant?
Tax efficiency is an essential part of wealth creation and professional advice can help you make the most of your income and investments.
