Services We Provide Locally

As a licensed financial adviser operating under Alliance Wealth Pty Ltd (AFSL 449221), we provide comprehensive wealth strategies tailored to your life stage and goals. You can confirm our authorisation on the ASIC Financial Advisers Register.

Retirement Planning

Retirement Planning is at the heart of what we do. We help you answer the critical questions: How much do you need? How long will it last? How do you balance the Age Pension with investments and superannuation? Our retirement planning service guides you through financial assessment, investment strategy, and the often-overlooked transition into retirement income.

Superannuation Advice

Superannuation Advice ensures your super is working as hard as you did to earn it. A pension account is one of Australia's most tax-effective investment vehicles, and maximising it requires strategy. We help you with contribution planning, fund selection, and the transition into the superannuation pension phase.

Investment Management

Investment Management is about building a portfolio aligned with your risk tolerance and timeframe. We help you diversify, stay disciplined through market cycles, and make informed decisions. Learn more about our investment advice.

Cashflow Management

Cashflow Management means understanding where your money goes and optimising your financial position. Whether you're earning, transitioning between life stages, or managing a complex family situation, our cashflow planning service helps you build a sustainable financial life.

Wealth Protection

Wealth Protection through insurance and risk strategies protects what you've built. We help you assess your exposure and put strategies in place so your family is secure.

Tailored Financial Planning for Sutherland Shire Life

The Sutherland Shire has a distinct demographic and lifestyle. Many residents are building wealth through investment properties, managing complex family situations, and planning for retirement in a high-cost-of-living area. Others are considering downsizing, accessing equity, or navigating the Age Pension and aged care planning as they move into their later years.

Our local expertise means we understand these transitions. We help Shire residents:

Optimise superannuation and tax-effective investment strategies for those in their peak earning years. Plan downsizing and equity-release strategies for those approaching or in retirement. Navigate Age Pension eligibility and integrate government benefits with investment income. Manage Self-Managed Superannuation Funds (SMSFs) for those seeking greater control. Structure wealth transfers and estate planning to protect family legacies. Align financial decisions with life goals, whether that’s travel, family support, or leaving a lasting impact.

Every Shire resident’s financial story is different. Our role is to listen, understand, and create a plan that works for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a financial planner do?

A financial planner helps you create a comprehensive strategy to achieve your financial goals. This typically includes retirement planning, investment advice, superannuation optimisation, cashflow management, and protection strategies. A good planner acts as a partner, reviewing your entire financial picture and making recommendations based on your circumstances, not generic templates. At Future Point Wealth, we focus on understanding your values and priorities first, then building strategies that stand the test of time.

If you’re earning a decent income, accumulating assets, approaching retirement, or facing a major life decision (inheritance, redundancy, divorce, business sale), a financial planner can add significant value. You don’t need to be wealthy to benefit. Early planning often has the biggest impact. A simple indicator: if you’re unsure whether your current strategy is optimal or whether you’re making the most of tax opportunities, it’s worth a conversation.

We use fee-for-service arrangements based on the scope and complexity of your situation. This means you know upfront what you’ll pay, and we’re incentivised to give you transparent, objective advice. We’ll discuss fees during your initial consultation and outline exactly what’s included. We don’t receive commissions based on products you buy, which removes any conflict of interest.

We offer initial consultations at our Sutherland office (10/812-814 Old Princes Highway, Sutherland NSW 2232) and ongoing meetings via phone, video, or in person, depending on what works for you. Most of our clients appreciate the relationship-building that comes from at least one face-to-face meeting. We’re flexible and work around your schedule.

We recommend a formal annual review, especially if your circumstances change (salary increase, inheritance, family change, or major purchase). Markets and legislation also shift, and a good plan evolves. During reviews, we check whether you’re on track, adjust strategies if needed, and ensure your advice remains current and relevant.

Our advisers operate under Alliance Wealth Pty Ltd, holder of Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL) 449221. You can verify individual adviser registrations on the ASIC Financial Advisers Register, which provides public access to licence and credential information.
