I get asked this all the time — and it’s a fair question

I get asked this all the time —
What exactly does a financial planner do?

It’s a fair question. Most people know what an accountant does.
But a financial planner? That’s where it gets fuzzy.

I’ve had people assume I mostly help with investing.
Others think it’s all about insurance or super.

The truth is — financial planning is about helping you make better decisions about your life.

Yes, we talk about money.
But the real goal is aligning your finances with the kind of life you want to live.

Decisions like:
– Can we afford to upgrade our home and still retire at 60?
– Should we send the kids to private school, or invest that money instead?
– Could I work less and still stay on track financially?
– What would it take to travel more without compromising our future?

Financial planning helps you see the trade-offs clearly — and make confident choices.

So money becomes a tool, not a source of stress.
