Our Process

At Blueprint, we follow a structured and client-focused onboarding process designed to ensure every client is matched with the right advisor and receives tailored financial guidance. After the initial phone call or first interaction, our advisors and/or associates gain an understanding of the client’s needs and determine whether they are a good fit for our services. Associates then carefully match each client with the advisor best suited to support their goals and arrange an introductory meeting between both parties.

During this initial meeting, the advisor takes the time to understand the client’s current situation and discuss their short- and long-term financial goals. If the client is happy to proceed, a Fact-Find meeting is scheduled. Clients are asked to come prepared with details of their superannuation and overall financial position, allowing the advisor to gain a clear and complete picture of their circumstances.

Following the Fact-Find meeting, and with agreement from both the advisor and the client, an initial Statement of Advice is prepared. This comprehensive document outlines personalised recommendations supported by in-depth research and strategic considerations. The advisor presents these recommendations in a dedicated meeting, explaining how each step supports the client’s financial objectives.

If the client chooses to proceed, the advisor then introduces an Annual Advice Agreement. This formal agreement outlines the ongoing advice relationship and includes at least one review meeting within the 12-month period. Once these steps are completed, the client is officially welcomed as a Blueprint client, receiving tailored advice and ongoing support for the next 12 months.

Your Steps to a Better Tomorrow

Over the course of your life, you will take many twists and turns, but sound financial advice will always have a role to play. Your Wealth Story leads you on a journey of discovery of how financial planning and financial advice works with you, throughout your life, to help you realise your dreams. Take just a few minutes to travel the Your Wealth Story journey and find out how financial advice works for you, no matter what stage of life you are at. At the end of the story you will be invited to access additional resources which will allow you to stop at a particular chapter of the story and explore in more detail. Here you will find helpful information, links and videos for that topic.

Retirement

Life one day will come to an end, every day you take a step forward and you can never go back. Every day that you fail to act has a cost for the rest of your life – there is an economic cost to inaction. Life rolls on and you can’t stop it. Retirement is a major watershed. Suddenly income stops and forever you are reliant on your savings or the government to live. So we need to plan far in advance for that.

Living Expenses

In the usual course of events, you get married and buy a house, you have kids and your living costs gradually increase. Maximum costs occur when kids are teenagers when they consume like adults, education costs are highest and you want to participate in holidays and activities with them before they turn into adults.

Income

Your income follows a different pattern. When you have kids you go from 2 incomes to 1, but then grows again as you gain experience in the workforce, but then at retirement it just stops….but your living costs continue.

Super and Investment

Because living costs continue, you need a lump sum at retirement to pay for that. That’s what superannuation is for, but super is a restricted form of investment, so you also need to build other assets outside of super, perhaps property or a share portfolio.

Your Protective Umbrella

Your overall protective umbrella are your wills, powers of attorney, trusts etc. Insurance is your other main protective device. Insurance is greatest when you start a family and reduces over time as your kids get closer to independence, your mortgage gets paid down and your assets go up. It ceases at retirement when you are finally fully financially self-sufficient.

Lifestyle

Your overall protective umbrella are your wills, powers of attorney, trusts etc. Insurance is your other main protective device. Insurance is greatest when you start a family and reduces over time as your kids get closer to independence, your mortgage gets paid down and your assets go up. It ceases at retirement when you are finally fully financially self-sufficient.

Your Steps to a Better Tomorrow

Your financial plan is designed to guide you through important milestones in your life and help you achieve your long-term financial objectives. We believe that an interactive and open communication process with our clients is essential to delivering quality, tailored advice. We will work closely with you to deliver recommendations on the steps you need to take and keep you on track to realising your better tomorrow.

Step 1 – Initial Meeting

Our first meeting is about listening and understanding you – your background, current circumstances, values and future goals. Our experienced financial advisors at Blueprint Wealth will also discuss your attitudes to money and investing, whether you’re seeking holistic advice or guidance on a specific area.

Step 2 – Proposal and confirmation to proceed

Following the Initial Meeting, and where we believe advice will place you in a better position, we confirm the scope of advice to be provided and the applicable fees and charges. Once agreed, we proceed with preparing your advice that is tailored to you.

Step 3 – More about you – Fact Find meeting

There may be additional information required before we can begin developing your Advice document, such as copies of statements on your superannuation fund, insurance policies and other financial details.

With any investing involved, your Financial Advisor will work with you to establish your risk profile and investment timeframe. We will then consider which asset classes, such as shares, property and fixed interest, are most appropriate for your circumstances.

Step 4 – Strategy preparation & research

During this stage, your Financial Advisor analyses your situation in details, explores suitable strategies, and evaluates the implications of each option. This process allows us to present a well-considered and tailored course of action for you to review.

Step 5 – Advice Presentation

We will review the progress of your financial plan on a regular basis to ensure your goals are being met, and to provide advice should your personal circumstances, objectives, legislation or economic conditions necessitate an update to your financial plan.

Your relationship manager works closely with both the financial planner and associate adviser to ensure your ongoing advice requirements are met, and is able to assist with any administration requirements you may have along the way.

Meeting frequency

We offer an annual review where we track your progress towards your financial goals, changes in your circumstances, and ensure any recommended strategies remain appropriate. Reviews may be conducted in person, via teams or phone call. We will meet with you on a regular basis to review your portfolio results against expectations and put together recommended changes to fine tune your portfolio to optimise results.

New modelling

As an ongoing client any changes that arise to your personal or financial situation can be discussed throughout any point during your advice process. We track your net worth throughout the years to ensure that you’re meeting your financial needs/goals. This ensures your strategy remains realistic, forward-looking, and actionable.

Keeping on track with goals

Your goals are central to every recommendation and decision we make. As part of the ongoing service, we continuously monitor your progress against agreed objectives and review whether your strategy remains aligned with what you are working toward. Where required we adjust strategies to help keep you on course particularly as circumstances, markets, or priorities change. We also assist in prioritising decisions when trade-offs arise, ensuring choices are made with a clear understanding of their long-term impact. Through ongoing modelling and regular reviews we provide clarity around what is achievable and the likely timeframes involved, so you can move forward with confidence and certainty.

Examples of changes to financial circumstances

Examples of changes to financial circumstances can include changes to your working situation, such as a promotion, redundancy, or a reduction in work hours, as well as changes in personal circumstances like getting married or growing a family. Significant financial events such as buying or selling property, receiving an inheritance, or taking on additional debt can also impact your strategy, so it is important for us to get updated information from you as things change.
In addition, changes to health or insurance needs, including the addition of a child to the family, may require a review of existing arrangements. As you approach later stages of life, retirement or transitioning to retirement can also prompt the need for adjustments to ensure your financial strategy remains aligned with your goals and lifestyle objectives.
