Financial planner Gold Coast

Wealth, retirement and investment planning through New Wave Financial Planning, working alongside the accountants who already know your business.

Financial planning on the Gold Coast, alongside your accountants

New Wave Financial Planning is the group’s licensed advice division. Its planners work in the same building as the accountants who already look after your business, so the advice on your super, investments, insurance and retirement is built from the same numbers as your tax plan, and the two never contradict each other.

What we help with

  • Superannuation and SMSFs, including whether a self-managed fund suits you, with New Wave SMSF.
  • Investment advice: how to hold wealth outside the business, in which structure, and in what.
  • Personal insurance: life, total and permanent disability and income protection, inside or outside super.
  • Retirement planning: what you need, when you can stop, and how the business sale fits in.
  • Wealth and estate planning, working with New Wave Law on wills, powers of attorney and succession.
  • Budgeting and cash flow for owners whose personal finances are tangled up with the business.

Why plan with the firm that does your accounting

Most business owners’ wealth is their business. The decisions that build personal wealth, how you pay yourself, how much goes into super, whether the premises sit in the fund, when to sell and how the proceeds are taxed, are accounting decisions and financial planning decisions at the same time. Splitting them between two firms means two sets of advice that do not quite agree. Here the planner, the accountant and the lawyer sit in one room.

Who we work best with

  • Business owners doing $1M and up who want their personal position planned as carefully as their business.
  • Founders within five years of a sale or a step back.
  • Families building wealth across a business, property and super.

How it works

  1. Free discovery call (30 minutes). Where you are, what you want, and whether we are the right fit.
  2. Fact find and advice. A licensed adviser gathers your position and prepares a written Statement of Advice.
  3. Implementation and review. We put the plan in place and review it with you each year, alongside the tax planning meeting.

Fees for advice are agreed in writing before any work starts.

Before you ask

Financial planner Gold Coast: the questions we get.

Why have a financial planner in the same building as my accountant?

Because the advice stops contradicting itself. Your accountant knows the business, the entities and the tax position; your planner knows the super, the investments and the insurance. When they share a client file and a corridor, a decision about taking profit out of the business, contributing to super or buying a property is made with both in the room. This is general information about how New Wave Group is set up, not personal advice.

What does a financial planner help a business owner with?

Typically superannuation and SMSF strategy, investing outside the business, personal insurance such as life, total and permanent disability and income protection, retirement planning and the transition to it, and estate planning alongside New Wave Law. For business owners the common thread is building wealth that does not depend on the business selling for the hoped-for price. General information only; the right mix for you is personal advice.

Is the first meeting with New Wave Financial Planning free?

Yes, the first conversation is free: a meeting to understand your situation and what you want, and to explain how advice works and what it would cost before anything is prepared. If advice is appropriate, the fee is agreed in writing before any work starts. This is general information; whether advice is suitable for you is determined in that first conversation.

Is financial planning advice from New Wave licensed?

Yes. New Wave Financial Planning’s advisers are Representatives of NWG Financial Services, Australian Financial Services Licence No. 538619. Personal financial advice is only given by licensed advisers after considering your objectives, financial situation and needs, and is set out in a written statement of advice.
