All about your goals

Understanding you and your goals Your goals are important as they define what you really want from life. But somehow, they often get put on hold, while you deal with the demands of today. We can work closely with you to help you realise your goals. You’ll have the opportunity to explore your goals with our interactive digital experience. Then you can choose to have one of our qualified advisers build a personalised plan to help you get there. We can also be there to help you track your progress along the way — helping you feel in control and confident that you’re on top of your finances.
How your goals drive our advice Understanding who you are and what you want to achieve in life is our priority, from our first conversation. It’s only when we know you and your goals better that we can build a plan to help you get there. That’s why at our first meeting, we’ll help you explore your goals.

Kicking off the experience The journey towards reaching your goals starts with our interactive technology— a unique way to explore your ambitions and gain a clearer perspective on what really matters to you. A goals coach will walk you through the process, helping you to visualise and explore your goals, think about your future in a different way and prioritise what’s most important to you. You’ll receive a comprehensive summary of your personal goals and priorities. If you choose to proceed, a qualified financial adviser can then work with you to help you explore your options and build a plan to help make your goals a reality. We can also help you track your progress if you decide you’d like help staying motivated and accountable.

Milestone Financial
Milestone Financial is one of Canberra’s most successful financial planning businesses and our advisers are specialists in all areas of financial planning. We also have an Mortgage Broking Team - Milestone Lending, so we can help you with any debt or lending needs you might have. We are different to most other financial planners because we believe in a collaborative approach to financial planning, working with you to help you achieve your goals. However, it takes time to build a successful financial plan. That’s why we think it’s important to establish a strong working relationship with you over many years. We are committed to an ongoing education program for our clients that includes regular workshops covering financial basics, property investing and other specialist topics. We also provide a monthly newsletter which includes interesting educational articles on financial and lifestyle topics. Milestone actively supports many charities in the local area including AMP’s Cancer Council Pro Bono Program. We support local charities including Hartley Lifecare, with Team Milestone regularly participating in the Cycle Challenge from Perisher to Charlotte Pass. Our work with local charities allows us to give back to community and help families find financial certainty in times when an illness, disability or personal circumstance has taken this away.

What others have said Milestone sat us down and showed us the building blocks to a secure financial future. Once I saw how it all worked, it changed the way I perceived financial planning. David and Mary To say I was impressed with what Milestone Lending were able to achieve in regards to my loan is an understatement. I am greatly appreciative for not only the loan, but also for their professionalism and communication that was first class. S Deane
