Financial freedom is in reach if you start planning now, but that can be tough when you're busy with work and life. You may not know where to find a good adviser, what to expect from the process, or how to get started. You're not alone, so we're pleased you found us.
For 15 years we've helped time-poor executives, business owners and successful families achieve their goals and live their best life with the benefit of affordable, professional financial advice. But don't take our word for it, see what our clients say.
My introduction to FMD 10 years ago facilitated an unexpected life change - to my delight, retirement was a possibility far earlier than expected. The strong relationship built to support my wealth management has given me peace of mind, removed work stress from the equation and contributed greatly to my happiness. I love my life and truly enjoy every day - I don't know how I ever had time for work!
I have been working with FMD Financial for the past five years. They are a professional and knowledgeable and they've helped me make the most of my money. Lauren Abela is my trusted financial adviser and has been able to help me develop a portfolio of investments that supports the needs of my growing family and my future wealth.
Jason Calleja was a source of great comfort as he provided us with all the information we needed to ensure a smooth transition for Dee's mum. He explained the legislation, prepared financial spreadsheets with projected multi-year income and costs, arranged tours of aged care facilities; liaised with Centrelink. Jason continues to be responsive to our ad hoc questions.
Our clients are hard-working professionals with serious careers, big passions and busy lives. They don't have the time or interest to watch every market move or keep track of every change in superannuation, tax or investment legislation. Instead, they trust us to build a sustainable financial plan and grow their wealth as life changes.
Whether you need to plan for retirement, set-up a Self-Managed Super Fund, protect your income, build a high-performing investment portfolio or manage the impacts of an inheritance, divorce or redundancy; our six pillars of advice will ensure every base is covered.
Our advisers are true professionals qualified in financial planning. They're also footy fans, parents, foodies and explorers. They're serious about your money, but know your life is more important.
Our founding directors mentor the next generation to deliver full and frank, client-centred advice with integrity and excellence. With an average tenure of 10 years among our team, you'll be choosing an adviser who'll be there throughout your career and into retirement.
We're looking forward to meeting you and helping you achieve your financial goals.
We'll be in touch to confirm your meeting your adviser soon.
You may find the answers to these questions useful when deciding to meet with an adviser.
Successful people are used to handling thier own finances, but you may reach a point where financial management becomes too complex or time consuming and the consequences of finacial mistakes far-reaching. At this stage it's wise to turn to a professional adviser who can help you build and protect wealth over the long-term.
If you value receiving expert advice (perhaps you're an expert in your field!) you know the importance of sitting down face-to-face to solve problems or improve your position. Our advisers don't give advice over the phone to new clients because we have a duty of care to consider your overall situation. That's best done in an inital consultation at our offices in Melbourne, Brisbane or Adelaide. We'll pick up the tab for the first meeting!
Much like a personal trainer or career coach, your FMD adviser will help you set financial goals and hold you accountable. So you need to be ready to improve your financial position. If you are time-poor, have unresolved financial or investment decisions, need to plan for retirement or are facing lifestyle or career change, seeking advice can be a great relief. Many of our clients are successful executives or business owners who value expert financial advice so they can focus on what they do best.
The title 'financial adviser' is often misunderstood, partly because it is used to describe advisers that work for or are affiliated with banks or superannuation funds. FMD Financial is not owned by or affiliated with another financial institution, and we charge a fee for service based our clients' individual needs. When choosing an adviser look for someone qualified and experienced, who is happy to offer client references. Choose someone you like and feel comfortable talking to. Over time they will become an important person during life's biggest challenges, like redundancy, divorce or the death of a loved one.
Our clients know quality advice is an investment in the future and they partner with us for the long-haul because their investment pays off. We're committed to being open and transparent about our fees and what you can expect from our advice process so more people can experience the confidence and that comes from getting good advice.
