What We Do
Financial Planning is the ongoing and evolving process of managing your financial arrangements to ensure your current and future goals and objectives can be achieved.
Financial Planning is rarely “set and forget”. Once your initial financial plan or strategy is in place it is important to regularly review your financial plan to ensure it remains appropriate to your ongoing and changing needs.
Shume & Associates offers a number of services that will assist you in achieving your financial goals.
Superannuation
Superannuation is an integral part of any retirement plan. These days most Australians have superannuation and whilst most people make or receive some contributions to superannuation, too many people will fall short of their retirement goals unless they plan for their retirement and explore some of the opportunities available to them via superannuation.
Shume & Associates can help you use superannuation effectively to help you meet your retirement goals. The advisors at Shume & Associates keep up to date with the most current information available to help you make smart and timely decisions about your superannuation.
Shume & Associates can provide detailed advice on:
- Self Managed Superannuation Funds
- Contribution strategies
- Taxation considerations
- Transition to retirement strategies
- Drawing pensions and withdrawing from superannuation
- Investment of your superannuation / construction of a portfolio within your superannuation
- Gauging and managing the right level of risk for you
An increasing number of Australians are choosing to build wealth and provide for their retirement through Self Managed Superannuation Funds (SMSF). A SMSF allows you a greater level of control over the assets that you hold to fund your retirement.
If you set up a SMSF you become a trustee of the fund. This means that you become responsible for managing your SMSF according to its trust deed and the laws and rules that apply to SMSFs.
But is a Self Managed Superannuation Fund for you? What is involved? What would you invest in? What are the advantages and disadvantages? How would you meet your compliance obligations?
We at Shume & Associates offer a SMSF specialist advisory service and can answer all your questions about SMSFs, including advising on the best strategies to meet your investment goals and help you through the steps involved in meeting your trustee obligations.
David Shume is an accredited SMSF Advisor™, a certification granted only by the Self Managed Super Fund Association. Advisors with this designation have undergone independent accreditation and make an ongoing commitment to professional development and excellence in the SMSF sector.
