Advice & Process
Goal Setting
Our first step in the financial planning process is to define your goals and objectives. It’s essential that it is you who should tell us what you want to achieve, we will help you in this process by listening to you and asking you questions about what it is that’s important to you. We have found that people's goals vary widely so it is our responsibility to provide a process that assists you in defining, quantifying and prioritising these goals. After your goals have been defined we often make clients aware that it’s our job to make you stick to them like a personal trainer would make you keep exercising or doing that extra few pushups for your own good, so you must be committed to achieve your goals. Then we explain our fee structure that would be relevant to your situation however our initial meetings are obligation free.
We work with external life coaches that can also look at your personal goals, business and health to take a wholistic approach to achieving your overall aspirations.
The power of ‘making a decision’ is expressed below by one of the world’s great thinkers and philosophers below.
"The moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred...unforseen incidents, meetings, and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would come his way."
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The Plan
We will work together in creating a plan that will help you to achieve your goals, we want you to take ownership of the plan and see how it does aim to achieve your objective, then you will want to stick to it. Your plan will be built through a variety of strategies that encompass:
- Lifestyle
- Timeframe
- Risk/Return
- Cash flow
ABH Financial Services makes it our business to be as committed to your financial goals as you are. Financial planning is an ongoing partnership and we assist our clients through a process to follow-up and regular review. Over time, changes to legislation can herald both problems and opportunities we want you to be aware of. How these changes effect you can have a critical impact on realising your financial objectives. Also your lifestyle goals and personal circumstances will shift over time, so it is important to closely review all aspects of progress against your goals.
Implementation
Assuming you're happy with the plan or would like to change part of it we tailor it to you. Once you are happy we then implement the plan. This industry is full of paperwork, however the good news is we get it all together for you and implement the plan in a timely and efficient manner and keep you updated along the way.
Follow up
Your plan is as successful in large part as you are at sticking to it. In order to stay on-track we have 3 monthly to annual reviews depending on the plan and your needs. We conduct regular client update nights where we invite keynote speakers fund manager updates and other strategy nights. This is also an opportunity to meet other clients. We provide regular email updates and quarterly newsletters to keep you abreast of any changes that may impact you.
