Starting Out

At this stage, you’re early in your career, or perhaps starting again after a big change, such as a divorce or starting a new business. Money decisions are yours to make, so you probably have many questions. Should I save to buy property? How do I set up my super? Do I need insurance? Should I invest my money? Could I workoverseas?

Connected Advice starts with questions like these, because each one leads somewhere else. Working overseas, for example, affects your tax, your super and whether your insurance still covers you. Getting the foundations working together properly now makes every later decision easier.

Below is an example of how Connected Advice might work for someone at this stage. The questions at the centre are the kinds we often hear at this point in life. Each one connects to the areas of advice it involves, and to the specialists around the outside who may need to be part of the conversation.

Your own Connected Advice plan will look different, because it starts with your questions. Let’s map it out together at your Annual Forward Planning Session.
