Being a business owner, you may start to lose focus on your personal finances and planning for those key life milestones in general as your business grows. Having a trusted financial adviser not only provides you with the right advice to plan personally but will also take into account your unique position as a business owner. Business owners from across Perth stand to benefit from a relationship with a trusted financial adviser. Below are some of the many ways a financial planner can help.
Clear Goals and Purpose
A good financial adviser will work with you to understand what’s important to you in achieving your goals.
Whether that be around reducing debt levels personally and within the business, upgrading your home or growing your wealth as some examples, clearly identifying what is important to you is key. These same goals are driven by purpose, so ensuring that you clearly understand the ‘why’ that underpins your reasons for wanting to achieve them will make sure you are prioritising what matters throughout your life journey.
Forward planning – A financial life plan
A comprehensive financial plan will provide you with clarity on what the next 10 years and beyond will look like, with knowledge of your options on how you can best get there. As part of the planning process, you will learn to take control of your finances, manage any risks that you may face and plan for what the future holds. This in turn, allows you to confidently turn your focus to managing and growing your business, ultimately giving you greater success personally and professionally.
A network of professionals to help you on your way
It’s sometimes difficult to find the right person for the job and someone you can trust. As a result, once you do find a good, trustworthy financial adviser, they will provide you with introductions to a range of professionals who you may need help from along the way. An adviser’s network includes lawyers, accountants, mortgage brokers and real estate agents, to name just a few. Your adviser should be well connected, and often works closely with other professionals to achieve a timely and desirable outcome for you.
