How we can work with you
You are developing your skills and growing your incomes, whilst meeting family commitments.
Either a first home, or home upgrade is on the horizon for you. You are managing debts and school fees whilst wanting to enjoy life. You want your family to be financially protected should anything happen to your main breadwinner(s).
Whilst retirement may be a distant thing in the future, it’s never too early to start planning.
We understand the challenges and opportunities set before you and can develop the right plan that fits around your life.
We get it. Your business is your baby. You’ve put in the hard yards to make your mark in the world, whilst providing financial stability for your family. You’ve partnered with an excellent accountant who helps with all things tax and business growth related.
But you’re yet to work out how the success of your business translates to your own personal financial success.
Just like you, Falcon Financial Advisers are small business owners, and we understand the challenges and opportunities ahead.
We can work with you to build the right plan and map your personal financial journey.
You have hit the peak of your career and retirement is in sight.
With the kids out of school (but likely still living at home!) and entering the workforce themselves, you are hoping to consolidate your financial position making the next decade truly count.
Maximising retirement savings and paying off the mortgage are two top priorities, and you want to understand which comes first.
You are also mindful of your ageing parents, who may be more dependent on you. As such, your focus has shifted from care of your children to care for your parents.
At Falcon, we have the skills and expertise to help unpack these competing priorities and through sound advice, align them in a manner that meet your requirements.
You have made it to the finish line of your career and look forward to the next phase of your life. Your top priorities include a focus on your family, your health and longevity of your retirement savings.
Peace of mind over how much you can spend without the anxiety of running out of money is very important to you, along with maintaining a high quality of life.
You may be eligible for Government benefits like the Age/DVA Pension, or a Commonwealth Seniors Health Card, and you want to know how you can maximise these benefits without compromising your financial position. You are also concerned about remaining in your family home and accessing support if needed.
We will work with you to understand what matters and develop a strategy to suit.

FAQs
We are a comprehensive financial planning practice for Australian families of all life stages. Whether you are just starting your financial journey or enjoying your retirement, our team of highly skilled and qualified financial advisers can add value to your life by providing the right personal advice to benefit you. This encompasses, strategic wealth and cash flow planning, superannuation and retirement planning advice, personal risk management and insurance advice, business succession and key person strategies, aged care planning and many other key financial planning matters.
We are backed by a large and reputable financial services licensee, Personal Financial Services Limited, which provides us with the depth of scale, systems, support and rigour to ensure you are receiving advice of the highest quality.
Falcon is also part of a broader professional network of accountants, mortgage brokers and general insurance brokers that has helped expand our services if you are looking for more than personal financial advice.
For all financial planning, strategy and investment related advice, we work on a fixed fee basis where any advice proposal is determined by your specific needs through a fair and consistent pricing methodology. More on our pricing here.
For any insurance advice we provide, we may be remunerated by way of a commission through any life insurer we recommend. However, we would only consider this if we can demonstrably prove this is in your best interests, and there are many reasons why that may be the case. More on our Insurance Philosophy Here.
We get that directly asking a financial adviser if your money is safe with them is a bit like asking your barber whether you should get a haircut. That’s why we encourage you to take your time and run due diligence before engaging with any financial advice practice. A great place to start is ASIC’s MoneySmart Financial Advice Page, Financial advice – Moneysmart.gov.au. ASIC is Australia’s financial advice regulator, who oversees the licensing and supervision of all retail financial advisers in Australia. Their consumer website provides an objective and comprehensive list of things to consider, in addition to questions to ask a financial adviser. Once you have done some research, we encourage you to meet with a number of advice firms to get a feel for their services, track record and culture to see if they are the right fit for you.
We agree with MoneySmart in that all reputable financial advice firms should have the following:
-listc- -list-An Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL), with all of their advisers authorised to provide financial advice and an easy to locate Financial Services Guide (FSG) that outlines their services, fee structure and relationships.
Falcon Financial Advisers are authorised by Personal Financial Services Limited and you can access FSG here.-listend- -list-Well qualified advisers who possess the skills and expertise to provide the advice you are seeking.
You can access a financial adviser’s qualifications and disciplinary record (including all Falcon Financial Advisers’) on the MoneySmart Financial Adviser Register Financial advisers register – Moneysmart.gov.au.-listend- -list-A clear set of processes on how your financial arrangements are managed that are transparent and strictly in accordance with your best interests.
This should include a straightforward exit procedure should you decide you no longer wish to work with your adviser.-listend- -listcend-
Whilst financial advice is one of the most heavily regulated industries in Australia (for good reason) and there are many checks and balances to safeguard clients’ money, it is not failsafe. Plus, unscrupulous operators do exist, like in all industries and professions. At Falcon, our business model is fundamentally built on the premise that client trust is our biggest asset and that we can only succeed (and be paid) if we demonstrably meet your best interests and improve your financial wellbeing. That’s why we take our legal, ethical and professional obligations very seriously to foster a culture of excellence and client first principles. We hope that through our consistent efforts, we can be a trusted firm to partner with you.
Not at all. Should we identify it to be beneficial for you to work with us on an ongoing basis and upon accepting an Ongoing Service Agreement, you have the right to end your agreement any time. In fact, for any agreed ongoing service retainer, we legally need your written and informed consent to maintain such arrangements every 12 months. This places the onus on us to ensure we are continually adding value to your situation for the services we provide and keeping you on track with your long-term goals, ensuring you want to remain a client.
Whilst we ideally aim to work with all of our ongoing clients for the long term, we understand that changes in circumstances mean such arrangements may no longer be necessary or required. That’s why we will support and facilitate any exit once the decision has been made. If you have paid an annual retainer upfront in full, you will also receive a pro-rated refund from the date of termination up to your anniversary date.
It is for this very reason that Falcon Financial Advisers will provide a consistent level of effort, attention and focus to all clients, new and existing. Whilst we are a growing business, and welcoming new individuals and families, you can be comfortable in the knowledge we will never forget our existing long term loyal clients, which can unfortunately happen in larger institutions like banks and insurance companies.
We have offices in Balgowlah Northern Beaches, Dee Why Northern Beaches and Newcastle. However, because our work can be done remotely, we can provide advice no matter where you’re located in Australia.
Falcon Financial Advisers services clients all over Australia. Whilst we love meeting our clients face to face and are also prepared to travel to meet you, we are fully equipped to host remote meetings over Zoom or Microsoft Teams and successfully do this with many of our clients.
Falcon Financial Advisers love working with those who genuinely need assistance with their financial requirements and are open to receiving professional advice. We have the capability and skillset to provide advice and support to young and established families, small business owners, pre-retirees and retirees.
