Financial advisors in Perth are nearly ubiquitous. There are seemingly so many financial planners around that we can get “placed on the back burner” by many. As a result, people who have worked hard to make a good amount of money may just be letting their money sit in bank accounts and making a minimal amount of passive income.

Our Process

At Approved Financial Planners, we make it easy for you to invest. We require an individual consultation and some basic information. We will assess your risk tolerance. When we have taken all of your individual factors into consideration, we will devise a financial plan that makes sense for you.

We will present that plan and with your permission, execute it for you. You spend minimal time and effort but are able to reap the benefits of our financial planning. After we know what you want, we can research investments for you and do all of the paperwork. That means all you have to do is sign the documents.

At Approved Financial Planners, we help minimise your market risk by diversifying your investment portfolio. We do check in on a regular basis so that we can adjust your investment strategy to fit your goals, current lifestyle and financial situation.

We provide a full range of financial planning services to our Perth clients, but one of the first things we will probably ask about is your level of debt. At Approved Financial Planners, we have a firm belief that the road to effective financial planning begins with taking charge of your debt level and your monthly expenditures.

We can help you set up debts such as credit cards, student loans, leases, mortgages and personal loans in a way that helps you minimise interest payments that could be spent towards securing your future.

Debt Reduction: the Plan

We will recommend that you ask yourself a series of questions to determine how much you know about your current debt load. This will help you determine exactly where your money is being spent and how much interest you are paying each month. If you don’t already have a debt reduction plan, we can help you formulate one.

We can work with you to create a plan that includes a date for paying off your loans and how much money you want to owe at various milestone dates such as five years from now.

We offer a full menu of financial services from our Perth office. We have financial planners and financial advisors who can help you plan your financial life from now through retirement. We can’t give any specific advice on this blog, but we would like to give you a general idea of what it takes to build a solid financial foundation.

The more solid your foundation, the easier it is for us to help you attain your financial goals. Here are some of the fundamental techniques that we can help you execute.

Budgeting

If you aren’t satisfied with your budget or your ability to create one and stick to it, we can help. If you have a consistent income and can stick to a consistent budget, it allows you to know exactly how much you can afford to invest every month. Once we know that, we can offer further assistance.

Managing Cash Flow

This is tied into budget, but also into your investment strategy. For many, budgeting and cash flow are a constant tug-of-war between enjoying life now and having enough for retirement later. Our financial advisors can take a look at your finances and help you come up with a plan that is comfortable for you.
