In our role as your trusted adviser, operating within the Private Client & Family Office, we serve as the central hub for the management of your tax, wealth transfer, risk management, lifestyle, and family financial reporting needs.

At RSM in Goulburn, we emphasise the importance of understanding and maximising superannuation for wealth accumulation.
Knowing where your super money is allocated is crucial for optimising returns. We guide you in structuring your investments based on your risk tolerance, considering the various risk options offered by super funds. With a wide array of funds available, taking the time to tailor a superannuation strategy that suits you is essential. For those desiring control, a self-managed super fund (SMSF) can be an attractive option, especially for business owners and individuals. As trustees and members, this option allows family involvement, enabling contributions to the SMSF's bank account.
We offer expert advice to navigate superannuation complexities, ensuring your strategy aligns with financial goals and risk preferences for a secure retirement.
Australian business owners, spanning various sectors like primary production, manufacturing, and retail, must prioritize succession and estate planning for their businesses.
A poorly planned succession can lead to significant consequences, including tax issues, administrative costs, strained relationships, and increased stress. Therefore, it is crucial to proactively plan for the future handover of the business. Opting for a well-thought-out succession plan brings financial and personal benefits to SME owners.
At RSM in Goulburn, our succession planning consultants specialize in facilitating a smooth transition for SME owners, whether passing the business to new owners, the next family generation, or addressing scenarios like death or incapacity. We work closely with solicitors when needed to provide expert advice on legal matters. Our aim is to ensure that business succession is well-managed, minimising challenges and maximising benefits for both current owners and their successors.
We’re more than just tax accountants.
