Before we talk about portfolios, we walk through a structured onboarding process. It covers your current savings, income stability, debt obligations, and the time horizon you are actually working with. You will know exactly what to prepare, what happens at each step, and what we will not do during the first meetings.
Before we look at your portfolio, we need to understand your income, expenses, debts, and goals. The onboarding process is structured so that each step builds on the previous one, and you always know what happens next and why we ask for certain documents.
We start with a 20-minute call to confirm your objectives, check whether our advisory model fits your situation, and outline the documents you will need to gather. No commitment is required at this stage.
You upload recent statements, tax returns, and superannuation summaries through a secure portal. We review the material within five business days and flag anything missing before the next meeting.
We map your cash flow, existing investments, insurance coverage, and liabilities. This produces a baseline that shows your current position and the gap between where you are and where you want to be.
We present a draft plan with specific allocation ranges, contribution targets, and risk parameters. You review it, ask questions, and we adjust the assumptions together before finalising.
Once the strategy is agreed, we provide a step-by-step action list: which accounts to open, which funds to buy, what to roll over, and what to leave untouched. You execute at your own pace.
We set a quarterly check-in and an annual full review. Between meetings, you can submit questions through the portal, and we respond within two business days.
What counts as financial advice
