Strategic Retirement Planning for SMSF Trustees

Expert Guidance for Your Retirement Journey

As you edge closer to retirement, the decisions you make now can significantly impact your future financial security. Our team is dedicated to providing strategic advice, involving the latest in retirement planning strategies, to help you reach your retirement aspirations. Through constant training and a deep understanding of SMSF dynamics, we position you to maximise your super’s potential as you transition into retirement.

Navigating Mixed Funds

Switching to pension mode often involves complex considerations, especially if your SMSF has members in both pension and accumulation phases. We simplify this process by obtaining the necessary Actuarial Certificate to determine your tax-free pension income, ensuring compliance and optimising your fund’s tax position.

A Smooth Transition to Retirement

The Transition to Retirement (TTR) strategy offers a flexible pathway for those reaching their preservation age, allowing access to superannuation benefits without full retirement. This option can be particularly appealing if you’re semi-retired, seeking to reduce work hours while supplementing your income with your superannuation. We guide you through the TTR strategy, ensuring it aligns with your lifestyle and financial objectives.
