FAQ’s

Since every Statement of Advice is unique to the client, we don’t charge one fixed fee.  Our SOA fee starts at $2,950 for simple advice, and increases from there depending on the complexity of your situation and the areas of advice you’d like us to cover.

We’ll calculate the fee and check you’re happy to proceed before providing any advice.

If your advice includes a product recommendation (such as superannuation or pensions) we may be able to deduct the SOA fee from your account. Otherwise, we can provide an invoice when we present your SOA.

Men also pay more for car insurance.
