What Financial Services do we offer?

Financial Planner

To find a good Financial Planner, a quick assessment of these 4 areas will tell you if you should trust the advice they give.

1) They should have a Australian Financial Services Licence (AFS)
2) They will dive in and do an assessment of what YOUR needs are
3) They help you to set the smaller goals and plan for the larger goals
4) They create a financial plan for you to reach the goals short term and long term

We are an AFS practice and during our initial consultation we cover these 4 areas.

Superannuation Consultant

The Australian superannuation system has compulsory super contributions. Generally, you’re entitled to super guarantee contributions from an employer if you’re 18 years old or over and paid $450 or more (before tax) in a month. 9.5% of your wage goes into your chosen super fund each pay day and grows over time.

Some people may have desired more flexibility and have set up a Self Managed Super Fund (SMSF).

We have the experience and the track record with all superannuation formats, both managed and self managed. Contact us to review your current Superannuation arrangements.

Our Reviews

"Joining Investment Zone is the best thing I’ve ever done for my financial future."

Andrew F. Wynnum, Brisbane, October 2019

"Brad has been great in explaining the investment strategies so we understand where our super is invested. By reviewing our insurance policies, he secured better cover for us and saved over $2,000 pa on policies that were not applicable to our circumstances."
