How We Do It
At Austin's Financial Solutions we believe inputting our clients first. We work with our clients in a consultative approach in order to design a specific Wealth Management Program that can address their wealth creation, protection and distribution needs.
Our programs are designed to assist clients to continually assess their goals and objectives, to set new priorities if needed and to execute strategies to attain them.
Traditional financial planning tends to focus on life stages or events such as retirement, buying a new house or losing a job. This can often lead to a client's initial strategy becoming outdated through legislative changes or as a client's goals and objectives change. In our view financial planning is not an event, it is an ongoing consultative process of assessment and adjustments.
To assist with this process, we utilise a unique tool called the Wealth Management Plan. We have identified four key areas of an individual's financial life that require constant review and maintenance to maximise wealth potential and protection. The plan enables us to regularly measure our joint progress and status against these four key areas, whilst overlaying with a client's specific goals and objectives.
The four key areas are:
1. Asset and income protection (protection)
2. Investment and cashflow planning (creation)
3. Debt management (leverage)
4. Estate planning (distribution)
