Professional expertise
Financial planning for families and business owners
Kyle has amassed 16 years of award-winning professional services experience working with clients as an advisor but also as a tax consultant in his early years.
His honest and authentic nature is complemented by his strong technical skills and this balanced approach has enabled him to achieve great results for his clients in terms of growing family wealth, protecting livelihoods and assets, managing change and conflict and motivating clients to live their best lives. He enjoys visiting clients’ businesses and homes where possible to best understand their situation.
Agri-business
In his 16+ years working in financial services he’s developed a niche for working with business owners, especially those within the agribusiness sector, and formed a passion for assisting rural clients with their financial needs, who may otherwise be forgotten due to their remote location. A family man with three kids, he grew up in the country, raised by small-business owners, and has previously owned a small sheep property himself – so he understands the challenges of running a business and providing for family.
Experience
Assignment
Assisted managing the proceeds from a farm sale to grow wealth but also manage tax
Process and outcome
Kyle worked with a client and their accountant to get an extra $1.5M into their SMSF via utilisation of small business CGT concessions for a pre-CGT asset. This strategy wasn’t initially on their radar as there was no tax to pay anyway, however Kyle identified an opportunity that has resulted in tax saved on investment earnings of about $30K p.a. Meanwhile the clients’ investments have grown over time whilst helping fund their cost of living allowing them to step further away from their business.
Assignment
Helped a client recoup over $10K of unpaid rent
Process and outcome
With a focus on holistic conversations with clients, Kyle uncovered that his client was owed over $10K in unpaid rent which was then over 6 months behind. This tenant had no ability (that they knew of) to repay this, Kyle suggested given the tenants age that maybe he had the ability to access super. In a matter of weeks, the client had received the outstanding rent.
Assignment
Successfully appealed a Centrelink debt
Process and outcome
The client had gone through a divorce and was in receipt of a disability support pension. This client’s situation had always been managed in a way to optimise her Centrelink entitlements whilst growing wealth via super (non-assessable asset). A debt was raised for over $10K in over paid entitlements. Kyle was able to work with the client, Centrelink, and a bank to prove what her asset position had been historically, and Centrelink were happy to withdraw the debt.
