How we help Springwood residents
Most of the people who walk through our Springwood door are within ten years of stopping work. They've saved reasonably well but they've got questions. Is it enough? What do I do with three old super funds? How does the Age Pension work? What happens if markets fall the year I retire?
We sit down and work through all of it with you. No pressure, no pitching a product. We either help or we tell you honestly you don't need us. Here's what a Springwood family typically asks us to cover:
A Springwood client story
I called George for some advice after my financial situation changed. I had a 10 minute call where George asked me about my situation. He took some notes and made an appointment to meet me and discuss what he could do. We had another meeting where George showed me a custom portfolio for my particular situation, not a generic portfolio. I highly recommend anybody seeking financial advice to give George and Dan a call.

The numbers, not the marketing
Plain numbers beat marketing claims. Here are the actual benchmarks a Logan couple is working against when we build a retirement plan together.

|---|---|---|
| ASFA modest retirement | ~$33,000 / yr | ~$47,500 / yr |
| ASFA comfortable retirement | ~$52,000 / yr | ~$73,000 / yr |
| Super balance at 65 for 'comfortable' | ~$595,000 | ~$690,000 |
| Age Pension, maximum fortnightly (Mar 2026) | ~$1,180 | ~$1,778 combined |
| Full-pension assets cutoff (homeowner) | ~$314,000 | ~$470,000 |
| Part-pension assets cutoff (homeowner) | ~$714,500 | ~$1,075,000 |

We talk about where you are and what you want to achieve. No cost, no commitment. If we're not the right fit, we'll say so.
Discovery meeting
A proper sit-down at our Springwood office (or video if you prefer). 60 to 90 minutes. Still no charge.
Your written plan
We build a specific strategy with projections, recommended actions, and a fee you agree before we start. Plain English throughout.
Annual reviews
We check in every year and adjust for changes in your life, the rules, and the markets. Most clients stay with us for the long run.
Every fee is quoted in writing before any work starts. If it doesn't stack up for your situation, you walk away at no cost. We don't take commissions on super or investment advice.
