Starting OUT:

Building your financial foundations

Start with the right financial foundations

 

Starting your career and building your financial future can come with plenty of decisions - from managing your income and expenses to paying down debt, building savings, investing and making the most of your super. 

Financial planning can help you understand where you are now, prioritise your goals and put a strategy in place for the future. 

At Leading Advice, we help you make sense of these decisions and create a financial plan that can grow and adapt as your circumstances change.

Starting out

What Matters Now?

When you're starting out, getting the fundamentals right can make a big difference. The decisions you make today can help shape your financial options in the years ahead.

MANAGE YOUR CASH FLOW

Take control of your money, rather than wondering where it goes. A clear plan can help you balance enjoying life today with saving for the things you want tomorrow.

Build Your Wealth

The earlier you start, the more time you give yourself. Small, consistent steps can add up over time and help create opportunities for your future.

Protect Your Income

Protect the lifestyle you're working hard to build. Your income is one of your greatest assets, so the right protection can provide confidence when life doesn't go to plan.

A Plan That Grows With You

 

Your financial priorities will change as your career, income and circumstances evolve. Having a clear plan can help you make confident decisions today while staying focused on what comes next. 

We can help you look at the bigger picture, including: 

  • Cash flow and budgeting 
  • Superannuation
  • Investing and wealth creation 
  • Debt management 
  • Personal insurance and income protection 
  • Setting and prioritising financial goals

I’ve always found Katrina at Leading Advice to be responsive professional and easy to work with. I really value her advice and support and highly recommend her. Thank you Katrina and team for all your support.
Leading Advice provides an outstanding service and has a fantastic team. Katrina Haskew has been our adviser for over three years, and we cannot recommend her highly enough. Katrina meets with us regularly to discuss our plans, making proactive suggestions and giving wise guidance. She is an absolute legend—genuinely caring, trustworthy, helpful, and incredibly honest. Thanks to her expert advice and meticulous planning, I retired comfortably at age 62. If you are looking for a financial planner you can truly trust with your future, Katrina is the absolute best!

We have known them for over 8 years and always found them to be very authentic, interested in us as people, our lives, lifestyle and future requirements. We always feel safe knowing that Gerard is working in our best interest. Whether its superannuation contributions/investment, buying an investment property, helping our children with their wedding expenses, giving our kids an early inheritance or navigating through jobs and personal circumstances, Gerard is there to guide us in the right direction and help with decisions that we believe has set us up well for the future. We highly recommend Gerard Haskew and Leading Advice. Sandra & Gerard Lee, Sydney NSW

Gerard provided excellent financial advise and guidance for my mother who recently became a widow. He listened to her requirements and gave her the confidence to make the necessary changes to her finances. We were very happy with the level of communication and educating us on the journey.

I've known Katrina for something like 8 years now, and she's always given the most practical and straight up advice. She's gone against options that would have lined her pocket, and focused on making sure that I had the best option for my situation. When it comes to financial advice, Katrina is as trustworthy as it gets for me.
