It may be an invention you never had the capital to realise, an initiative you would love to embark on if only you didn’t need to work to pay the bills, or simply a dream to be mortgage free and retire early and spend more time with your family.

Whatever your dream is, ours is to help you achieve it. And our way of doing that is to help you manage your finances in such a way that every dollar is maximised, putting you in a better financial position, faster, so you can achieve your dreams with the cash flow that creates.

Craig Pope Financial is very proud to offer a money planning service unique to our company.

In his many years of working in financial services, Craig saw time and time again that the existing services available to people were not enough to help them manage their money in a way that put their dreams and goals within reach.

Traditionally, a client might get help to obtain a mortgage or refinance, then be left to their own devices once the paperwork is signed. This approach leaves the client vulnerable to future financial decisions that aren’t aligned with their dreams, with the result that, in too many cases, those dreams go unfulfilled.

Craig realised that what was needed was a financial ‘wingman’ of sorts, someone to oversee a client’s finances on an ongoing basis and help them make financial decisions that are in line with their long-term goals.

That’s how Craig Pope Financial’s Money Planning service came about. This holistic approach to financial management gives clients ongoing support to achieve their dreams, beyond buying that first home, that investment property, that overseas trip, right onto financial independence and a comfortable retirement lifestyle, maybe even on that private island in the Med.

We look at your finances and manage them for you holistically, using our experience and expertise to do what you don’t have time to do yourself amidst all the busyness of everyday life: actively facilitate the realisation of your dreams by leveraging your finances in the best way possible, without giving up every treat along the way. We believe balance is key, and we want you to enjoy your life right now as much as in retirement.

Some things we can take care of for you include:

  • Your budget
  • Running your bank accounts
  • Paying off your mortgage quicker
  • Planning an emergency fund
  • Ensuring you have the right insurance cover
  • Saving for your retirement
  • Reviewing your mortgage interest rates and structures
  • Buying a rental property
  • Trading up or down on your existing home
  • Buying a business
  • Making sure you have Wills and Powers of Attorney
  • Buying a car
  • Providing a knowledgeable sounding board for financial scenarios or decisions before you commit
  • Factor in future expected pay rises and their financial impact
  • Setting up savings for the kids
If you feel like your finances aren’t the best they could be or are unsure of how to achieve the future you dream of, Craig would love to talk to you to see how he can help.
