​

Your values

Your values in life flow through to your goals, your career, and your lifestyle.  They can also flow through to your money, including your purchases, your superannuation and your investments.  There may be activities you wish to support or avoid with your super and investments, using your money to have a positive impact on the community and environment.  When growing your wealth and saving for goals we can help you invest in line with your values and receive sound financial performance.

​

Values based financial planning

At Gold Leaf Financial Services, we start by getting to know you and your values.  We help you to have the money in place to support you and your family and to help you reach your goals.   Everyone’s goals are different and we provide financial advice is tailored to what is important to you.

 

Your financial coach

Most people manage their finances themselves, but what if you could do better?  What if you could reach your goals faster or with less risk?

​

Olympic athletes all benefit from a coach to help them with strategy and techniques to achieve their goals.  A Gold Leaf Financial Planner can be your coach, helping you with financial strategies and helping you keep on track to reach your goals.  If a new option becomes available or the rules change, we can help you adapt to the changes and make the most of your situation.

 

Risks to achieving your goals

It is worth noting, one of the biggest risks to you achieving your goals is something unexpected happening.  By saving money for a rainy day, you can feel comfortable knowing you have cash available if the car breaks down, if you need to pay for urgent house maintenance or you lose your job.  Insurance for your home and car can also play a vital role in minimising the financial impact of something unexpected. 

Most people know someone who has been in a car accident, affected by a heart condition or suffered cancer.  This may have taken a significant toll on their health, impacted their ability to work and in turn their finances.  Part of planning for the future is protecting your family and your lifestyle by making sure you have appropriate life insurance, income protection insurance and disability insurance cover.  Read more
