Posted at 16:02h in Personal Wealth, Superannuation by superuser

If you’re thinking of taking up the Government’s offer of early access to your superannuation, please think carefully. Don’t do so without weighing up all the factors and only draw on that super if you really need it to get through.

The Practice’s Director of Wealth Advisory, Matt Morrison wants to make sure you look at all other options first …

Elizabeth has made what could have been a stressful process remarkably easy and seamless. Her responsiveness was exceptional, and she consistently demonstrated a strong focus on finding the right solution for me as her client. Liz provided clear, thoughtful advice and was proactive in addressing any concerns or questions I had. Her expertise and commitment to excellent service truly set her apart, making her invaluable throughout the mortgage process.This is why I have been using The Practice for the last four years and have recommended Liz to my friends and relatives. Everyone who has worked with Liz (and Craig) has echoed the same high praise. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of a dedicated and professional mortgage broker.VD

When our fixed rate loan was due to expire, Elizabeth helped us with finding another bank provider who was able to give us a better rate to refinance to and even helped with revaluation of our home to be able to make a decision to invest in our future. The process was so seamless and Liz was responding to us after hours which was so helpful. Liz has gone above and beyond in her service for us and we are truly grateful. Highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a first loan or refinance.

Very valuable and professional advice. We joined several years ago and financially have never looked back. Twice annual reviews are informative and allow for input by us as well as giving an overall picture of our financial health, both big picture and detailed. Have recommended them to both friends and family.

Last week we received an unexpected email, from our bank, that our mortgage had been reduced. The new payments were a huge saving per month and massive over a year. There was another email, from The Practice, who had acted on out behalf, and got our rate reduced. I had forgotten that they do an annual review, so it was a very nice surprise. It is very comforting to know someone is in our corner, to fight for a better rate. Huge thanks to Chris and the guys at The Practice, it is very nice to have you in our corner

We met Matt Morrison, from The Practice through our former Tax Accountant, who suggested Wealth Management was an important step for us to take.Matt has been our Advisor since 2012 and we have been extremely happy with his advice. He listens to and understands our goals and aspirations and has developed a portfolio that has allowed us to reach our financial objectives.We feel our future has been well planned and orchestrated and are now secure and enjoying the retirement phase of our life.He has proven to be professional, reliable, dependable, and genuine and we recommend Matt and his Team for developing a road map to achieve personal goals.

John Attlesey

We have been clients of The Practice for several years now.Quite early on we realised that their client/results based focus was exactly what we had been seeking over the years, but had never found with other financial planners.Providing us with advice about topic we would be unable to research in so much detail ourselves, and giving informed feedback on our own plans and ideas gave us so much peace of mind.We would have no hesitation in recommending Matt Morrison.

We were initially apprehensive about getting financial advice after a family member lost money with poor advice from another company. We contacted the Practice in 2014 while we were living overseas and Matt Morrison was very honest about the limitations of what he could do, over & above what we were already doing, while we were non-tax residents of Australia. This honesty brought us back to The Practice in 2016 after returning to Australia. Matt is extremely professional and knowledgeable, and he is a genuine and caring person. I contacted him when I was being made redundant with a view to retirement. He spent a lot of time going through the numbers with me....again. As always, it was a very reassuring conversation.Aaron provides us with tax advice and does our tax returns. He is always very helpful and extremely responsive. We constantly feel as though we are in extremely safe hands with The Practice.

Paul Manning

We came to The Practice almost 6 years ago after a recommendation from a friend who told us about a bloke who approached financial planning a different way. After meeting Matt for the first time it was clear that his approach was different. Human and far different to the other planners we had met in our quest to get financially prepared for the future. Matt spoke to us about our goals and objectives. Gave us scenarios and showed us what the future looks like under each. The money part seemed to then fit into that not the other way around. Fast forward to now and we are in our long term home, have an investment property under our belt, and a baby that fills our hearts. We’re not penny pinching and have a clear direction on where we’re heading and how our finances can help to get us there.

Our journey with The Practice has been nothing but respectful, positive, and life changing. We went from having plans with no idea on how to achieve them, to having goals.the sense of security, and a plan on how to achieve them financially. We almost feel like family..they have seen our children grow from primary school to adulthood, and supported our family choices from the beginning. We have always felt comfortable to express our dreams and goals, no matter how challenging they may be! So grateful to have connected... recommend to me by Nancy at HM. Group

We recently refinanced our mortgage with Liz, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Liz was incredibly prompt throughout the entire process, making sure everything moved along smoothly without any delays. Her communication skills are exceptional; she kept us informed every step of the way and was always available to answer any questions we had. On top of that, Liz made the entire process so easy and stress-free. We felt completely at ease knowing we were in such capable hands. Highly recommend her services!

I have found all personnel at The Practice to be extremely approachable and professional in everything they do. They quickly developed a good understanding of our financial status and goals and put in place a strategy to meet them. The regular meetings to review our portfolio and any changes in our objectives provide us with confidence and peace of mind. I have no hesitation in recommending the Practice to anybody seeking financial guidance and planning.

Matthew and his team are always very courteous, helpful and friendly with any interactions we have had with them.They make sure that our needs are seen to and any queries are dealt with very quickly, so that we are not left wondering if something is going to be done about things.Matthew has been a fantastic Financial Advisor especially for my Husband, after his late wife passed, to help him to sort out his finances and affairs and steer him in the direction that would be best for him, and has been a great support as well. He has also been a great support for both my husband and myself over the last 7 years since we have been married and helped us with our finances.

Cannot highly recommend Matt and team at the Practice. We have been a client of the Practice for approx. 10 years, and we value their personable approach, along with their professionalism and expertise. Having the Practice team manage our financial goals gives us a huge amount of confidence for the future. We tend to sit and forget about our finances, so we appreciate the 1:1 review meetings and their ability to simplify financial information. What appeals to me the most is their genuine care.

Been with The Practice for over 10 years and couldn't be any happier with the financial guidance they've provided. Additionally, they are always searching for ways to improve service and reduce costs.

Having been a customer of The Practice for almost ten years I am proud to say that they met and even exceeded my expectations of the service that the company had given us ( my wife is also included in this investment with the company ). Even in the turbulent times when there was a lot of volatility in the market I just hang on with the company because I trusted that they can overcome this market volatility and I was right. The performance of our portfolio still holds high amidst all the market challenges.

My finances before The Practice were scarey! I wasn’t sure how I would survive on my measly super while paying off a mortgage.I was a recently divorced mother in financial ruin.The Practice with Matthew & the financial team set me on a path to financial success. They listened to what I wanted & then set fiduciary actions to get there. I am extremely happy to say I am in a much healthier financial position & looking forward to a happy retirement in line with achieving the strategies set out by Matthew & his team. I absolutely recommend The Practice to anyone that wants financial advice & they are extremely non-judgemental 😀😀Thanks all at The Practice. 👍🙏

Grant Hicks

We spent a great deal of time researching financial planning organisations given we were entrusting our personal financial future in someone else's hands. In our first meeting with Matthew Morrison and the team at The Practice we knew we had made the right decision. We have seen the benefits of setting financial goals coupled with the results such as re-aligning our Superannuation to create greater returns. I can highly recommend utilising the knowledge and expertise of the team at The Practice.

Matt Morrison and his team at 'The Practice' have been advising and assisting my wife and I for the past 10 years. Matt initially organised a financial retirement plan for us which has afforded us a continuing lucrative income from investments. The Practice team has also provided other financial assistance along the way associated with Tax Benefits, as well as advice with government health benefits acting officially as our direct contact with Centrelink in such matters. We could not be more pleased with the friendly, efficient and professional service that we have received over these last 10 years and continuing. We would highly recommend 'The Practice'.

We were introduced to Matt by a friend. Since I have been searching for a reliable company/ person we could trust and give us peace of mind to assist us to deal with our retirement portfolios. We were extremely anxious as this is an area we’re not very familiar with. Scared to put our retirement saving in a company we were not familiar with. We have heard of a few unscrupulous, untrustworthy and unethical companies that had taken people’s life savings destroying their trust and leaving them devastated. Therefore when we had an appointment with Matt we had expressed our fearful concerns and how we felt. We were so concerned and very anxious but after long discussions he reassured us and he gave us advice. He discussed a few strategies that were based from what our concerns were and together we navigated into a plan that suited our retirement lifestyle. We have an ongoing 6 monthly discussion to keep us on track and for some minor readjustment for these strategies. 4 years on we still feel secure that our savings are safe and we continued to trust Matt as we still have a peace on mind thanks to his hard work, dedications to his clients including us, continued reassurances that we are in a safe company. We hope that this company will continue to grow, prosper and maintain a good and honest relationship with their clients who have so much trust in them. A heartfelt thank you to Matt and The Practice

Financial security is of great importance to me, but sadly of little interest! That's why I value having a financial advisor who I can trust, who works well with my accountant, makes my life easier, and looks after my investment present and future. I have worked with Matthew Morrison now for almost ten years, and have referred others to him because he knows his stuff, and cares for his clients.Thanks Matt and team.
