Contribution strategy, fund consolidation, and self-managed super guidance to keep your retirement savings working as hard as you do.
Superannuation is often the largest asset most people will ever own, and it runs quietly in the background for decades — which is exactly why small decisions compound into big outcomes. Steve helps you make the most of your contribution caps, consolidate lost or duplicated accounts, and work out whether a self-managed fund actually suits your situation.
Concessional and non-concessional contributions each come with caps and tax treatment that reward planning — timing extra contributions well can mean a meaningfully larger balance at retirement for the same out-of-pocket cost. Steve helps you make the most of the contribution room you have each year.
It's common to end up with two or three super accounts after a few job changes, each charging its own fees and sometimes duplicate insurance. Steve helps you work out which fund is actually worth keeping, and consolidates the rest without losing cover you still need.
An SMSF gives you direct control over how your super is invested, but it also brings compliance obligations, running costs, and a genuine time commitment that doesn't suit everyone. Steve will walk you through what's actually involved before recommending — or ruling out — an SMSF for your situation.
Whether it's a retail fund, an industry fund, or an SMSF, your super still needs an investment strategy that matches your timeframe and comfort with risk — the default option isn't always the right one. Steve reviews how your super is invested and whether it fits the rest of your plan.
Super doesn't automatically form part of your will — who receives it depends on your beneficiary nominations and how your fund is structured. Steve makes sure your nominations are current and actually do what you intend them to.
An SMSF isn't the right answer for everyone — Steve will tell you plainly if a simpler option suits you better.
