5 Reasons to Consult With Retirement Planning Experts

One of the major problems that many Australians face, at their retirement age, is uncertain financial future, says a financial consultant at Inception Wealth Group, a leading Australian financial services consultancy firm. 

Almost 95% of the Australian population does little or no prior financial planning for their post-retirement days. This, of course, means that most of them have to significantly cut down on their expenses after retirement and downgrade their lifestyle in order to properly manage their monthly budgets.

This, however, is not the case with the rest of the 5% population, who plan their retirements early. Not only does this minority manage to continue their lavish lifestyles even after retirement, some of them even plan so smartly that their post-retirement days become the most memorable ones of their lives.

The difference, as the financial experts at Inception Wealth Group say, is in the type of financial advice that these people seek at different stages of their lives. Most Australians still do not seem to take retirement planning as a very important manner. However, there are 5 very good reasons, according to Inception Wealth Group, that should make them think about their approach towards proper financial consultants who can advise them on post-retirement financial planning.

Comprehensive Financial Analysis

Financial consultants, as one Inception Wealth Group representative says, spend several hours with their clients in order to analyse their current financial standing on the basis of which future recommendations can be made. This gives the clients a thorough picture of their finances and helps them in making much more informed decisions. This also ensures that clients know exactly how flexible their financial situation exactly is and helps them manage their expenditures.

Identification of the Right Investment Opportunities for you

Financial consultants are masters of identifying the right investment opportunities for their clients. With a clear picture of your financial status already in their knowledge, financial consultants can guide you in identifying the most suitable investment opportunities and the most profitable sectors, with the highest returns, that will ensure that you continue to receive handsome amounts of money even when you’re retired.

Clear strategy on Financial Savings

One of the biggest benefits of getting in touch with a professional financial consultancy firm is that you get a clear roadmap on how much exactly do you have to save every month in order to achieve your post-retirement financial objectives. This process involves detailed consultation sessions with financial experts who, first of all, identify your basic expectations form your post-retirement life and the lifestyle that you wish to maintain during your retirement days. As one Inception Wealth Group consultant said, “People usually have wish lists for their post-retirement days. However, very few of them realise what they actually have to do in order to change those wishes into realities. We help them identify those actions by applying a number of consultation sessions and planning exercises.” With a clear roadmap in front of you, you know exactly where you’ll end up once you decide to call it a day on your career.

Effective Risk Management and protection

A major benefit of professional financial consultancy is the effective management of unprecedented events in life. Anyone can face an emergency health situation or an urgent and important expense. If not managed properly, such events can hurt your long term financial planning and the prospects of a stable post-retirement life. However, professional financial consultants keep all such risks and unprecedented changes into account while planning your long term financial strategy. And even if the change is bigger than the previously planned amount, consultants can still guide you in effectively managing such issues and minimizing their impact on your long term financial wellbeing.

Effective legal structures

National, and international, laws and monetary policies are bound to have an impact on your long term financial plans. Some of the impacts of these changes in laws are so small that a common citizen, with little knowledge of financial laws, can easily overlook them. Financial experts, however, are well equipped to handle all legal issues relevant to your financial planning. They will not only handle all such problems with much more authority, but also keep you in the loop so that you are well aware of every possible factor that can have an impact on your eventual savings.

Conclusion

As most experts recommend, the earlier you start planning your post-retirement finances, the better. However, effective post-retirement financial planning, like any other complex field, requires experts to develop and manage a comprehensive strategy that covers all the bases. For this purpose, financial services firms like the Inception Wealth Group should always be consulted for a safe and stress-free future.
