"Holmes Finance" Financial Planners do so much more than manage money or create a retirement plan. In fact they typically address your entire financial situation long before managing your money or retirement plan. Good advisers know how to take a step back and look at a client's overall financial situation and let them know whether they are on track to meet their goals. They can then look at several areas of the financial plan and make recommendations on changes to increase the likelihood of reaching those goals.

Just some of the areas our planners address and add value

  • Mortgage and Investment Financing and Refinancing
  • Superannuation and understanding the new laws and how they affect you.
  • Review ways to secure your lifestyle and financial goals
