Most people retire hoping it'll work out

Without a proper strategy, you're guessing. And guessing with your life savings — when you're 55, 60, 65 — is a risk you don't need to take.

The gap between a stressful retirement and a comfortable one usually isn't how much you've saved. It's how well that money is structured.

📉

Wrong fund, wrong structureMost Australians are in default super options that aren't optimised for their age or risk profile.

💸

Paying too much taxWithout planning, you could hand back tens of thousands unnecessarily in your transition to retirement.

🕐

No clear timelineNot knowing your "retirement date" means you can't make confident decisions about work, spending, or lifestyle.

🏦

Age Pension eligibility missedMany Australians are entitled to some Age Pension but don't structure their assets to access it.

Serious about retirement. Serious about you.

I started Wealthly Advice because too many Australians were getting generic advice from advisers who didn't really know them — or weren't available when it mattered.

A large portion of my clients are pre-retirees and retirees. This is where I specialise — super strategy, transition to retirement, SMSF, pension structuring, and Age Pension planning.

I cap the number of clients I work with so every client gets the attention they deserve. If we're a match, I become your financial partner for the long term — not just someone who hands you a document.

Vince has been our financial adviser for the past 10 years. The last ten years with his guidance, we have been able to better position ourselves for when we do retire. Yes, I can honestly say Vince has been a great partnership.

Common questions

What to expect

What happens in the free 15-minute call?
+

It's a no-pressure chat to understand your situation — your age, super balance, goals, and timeline. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and what that looks like. No obligation to go further.

Is there a cost to get started?
+

The 15-minute discovery call is completely free. If we agree to proceed, the initial 60–90 minute consultation is $440. You'll leave with real clarity and actionable insights regardless of whether you continue to a full advice engagement.

I'm still working — is it too early to start planning?
+

No — the earlier you start, the more options you have. Many clients come to us 5–10 years before their target retirement date, which gives us the most room to build a strategy that genuinely moves the needle.

Do you work with people outside Melbourne?
+

Yes. We work with clients all over Australia via video call. The process is identical to an in-person meeting and just as effective.

What if I already have a financial adviser?
+

We're happy to do a second opinion review. Many clients come to us after feeling their current adviser isn't proactive, available, or genuinely focused on their retirement outcome.

How soon can I get an appointment?
+

Usually within 1–2 weeks. Book directly via Calendly to see Vince's current availability and choose a time that suits you.
