What We Do

Advice across every stage of your financial life

Every plan is built around your situation — not a product, not a template. We start with where you are and build towards where you want to be.

01

Wealth Accumulation

A clear investment strategy matched to your goals, risk tolerance and timeline. Superannuation optimisation, tax-effective structures, and regular reviews to keep you on track.

Growing wealth, working smarter
02

Retirement Planning

Know exactly what you need, when you need it, and how to get there. We model multiple scenarios so you retire with confidence — and a plan that adapts as life changes.

Retirement on your terms
03

SMSF Strategy

From establishment to investment strategy to annual compliance — we help self-managed super fund trustees make the most of their flexibility while staying on the right side of the ATO.

Control over your super
04

Business Exit Planning

Maximise what you take home when you sell or exit. We work with you and your accountant years in advance to structure the sale tax-effectively and invest the proceeds wisely.

Maximum value at exit
05

Risk & Insurance

Life, TPD, income protection and trauma insurance reviewed for adequacy and value. We don't oversell — we right-size your cover to your actual needs.

Protected without overpaying
06

Estate Planning

Ensure your wealth passes to the right people in the right way. We work alongside your solicitor to make sure your super, investments and assets are structured to match your wishes.

Our Fee Structure

Fee-for-service.
Full stop.

Pinnacle Financial Advice operates on a fee-for-service model. We are paid by you — not by the products we recommend. Every recommendation we make is in your interest, not ours.

Before we do any work, you'll receive a Statement of Advice with total fees clearly disclosed. No surprises, no commissions, no ongoing percentage unless you choose that structure.

  • All fees disclosed upfront in your Statement of Advice
  • No trailing commissions on any product recommendation
  • Free initial discovery call — no obligation whatsoever
  • Licensed under Australian Financial Services Licence
Initial Advice

Comprehensive financial plan including goal setting, strategy development and Statement of Advice. Fixed fee quoted upfront based on complexity.

Ongoing Advice

Annual review and strategy update, unlimited contact throughout the year, quarterly market commentary and progress reports. Annual retainer or % of AUA — your choice.

SMSF Administration

Annual compliance, audit coordination, investment reporting and strategy review. Bundled with ongoing advice or available standalone.

How We Work

A clear process from first call to ongoing advice

We make financial advice simple and transparent. Every client goes through the same four steps — nothing happens without your understanding and approval at each stage.

1

Discovery Call

A free 30-minute call to understand your situation, goals and whether we're the right fit. No cost, no obligation.

2

Strategy Session

A deep-dive meeting where we gather everything we need. Your fee is agreed and locked in at this stage.

3

Statement of Advice

We present your comprehensive financial plan with full fee disclosure. Review, ask questions, make changes before we proceed.

4

Ongoing Reviews

Annual reviews keep your strategy current. Unlimited contact between reviews — we're your first call for any financial decision.

★★★★★
"Marcus restructured our super and revised our retirement plan completely. We'd been drifting with a bank planner for years. The difference in our projected outcome is extraordinary — we'll retire four years earlier than we expected."

David & Carol B.Dubbo NSW — Retirement Planning
★★★★★
"After selling the farm I had a substantial amount to invest and genuinely didn't know where to start. Marcus was patient, thorough and completely transparent about fees. Twelve months on I feel completely in control of our financial future."
JW
James W.Parkes NSW — Wealth Accumulation
★★★★★
"The fee-for-service model was what sold me — I'd had bad experiences with commission-based advisers. Marcus earns nothing from what he recommends. That independence completely changes the advice you receive."

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

How does fee-for-service advice differ from commission-based advice?
With fee-for-service advice, you pay us directly for our time and expertise — just like you pay a solicitor or accountant. We receive no commissions from product providers. Every recommendation is because it's right for you, not because it pays us better.
Should I set up an SMSF?
An SMSF makes sense for some clients and not others. Generally they become cost-effective with a combined balance above $250,000–$350,000, and suit people who want direct control over investments including property. We'll give you an honest assessment based on your balance, goals and willingness to take on trustee responsibilities.
When should I start retirement planning?
The earlier, the better — but starting at 50 is still very valuable. The 10–15 years before retirement are typically the highest-earning years and most powerful for super contributions. If you're within 5 years of retirement, specific tax and pension strategies must be planned well in advance.
Do you work with clients outside Dubbo?
Yes. We work with clients across Central West NSW including Orange, Bathurst, Parkes, Forbes, Mudgee and surrounds. Most ongoing meetings are via video call for clients outside Dubbo, with in-office visits for initial sessions and annual reviews.
