Butler Private
Butler has always considered our client’s best interests as our number one priority, with that commitment being reflected in the way we conduct our practice and engage with clients.
That approach has helped us build trusted, long-standing relationships with our clients.
The Royal Commission has clearly demonstrated that the financial planning culture of sales and profit above client’s best interests is totally unacceptable to ASIC and the community at large.
With that in mind we have decided to establish Butler Private to provide comprehensive financial planning services, fully embracing the recommendations of the royal commission.
We are totally committed to helping our clients make fully informed decisions without any sales pressure whatsoever.
Am I at Foundation stage?
Establishing your financial future begins by creating perfect foundations. Generally, you’re at this stage when you have a small start-up balance of $200,000 or less in nest-egg assets, not including the family home. Typically, you will:
- want some direction to help reach their financial goals
- be ready to make smart decisions about money
- care about their family
- care about the future, and
- be motivated to take action.
What does Butler Private do?
Perfect foundations strategies are built using the GPS Wealth PERFECT Financial Goals worksheet. PERFECT stands for:
- Protect your family
- Estate plan in order
- Really smart Super
- Foundation support service and team
- Effective debt management
- • Cashflow under control, and
- • Tax under control.
Am I on the Pathway to Wealth?
You are ready to embark on the pathway once your perfect foundations are providing growth, and you typically have:
- accumulated assets of around $200,000 (not including the family home)
