Planning for longevity, lifestyle, and legacy.

Retirement doesn’t exist in a silo. The decisions you make about your retirement flow will naturally affect other areas of your financial life, just as those other areas will influence what your retirement looks like and how you get there.

As comprehensive wealth advisors, we understand how interconnected these elements are. That’s why our approach begins with understanding your complete financial position, not just what’s in your super or the immediate goals on your horizon.

From there, we work with you to build a retirement plan that reflects what matters to you, while aligning with the other areas of your financial life: your family and business goals, financial structures, and lifestyle.

How we can help

Retirement strategy and planning

We help you set realistic retirement goals, create timelines, and align your financial plan to achieve your desired lifestyle.

SMSF establishment and management

If an SMSF is the right fit, we’ll guide you through setup and ongoing management with an emphasis on compliance and sustainable, objective-aligned growth.

Superannuation review

We’ll assess your current superannuation arrangement to ensure it’s structured and performing in a way that supports your broader retirement strategy.

Succession and estate considerations

We align retirement planning with succession and estate needs to both protect your wealth and ensure it will be transferred smoothly and according to your wishes.

Income and cashflow planning

To help you enjoy retirement without financial worry, we design retirement income strategies that are sustainable, tax-effective, and tailored to your lifestyle.

Time horizon investing

We help you plan retirement investments around when you’ll need your money. This approach helps you keep your incoming flowing without putting long-term savings at risk.

Comprehensive guidance
with deep SMSF expertise

Business owners, farming families, and professionals often have layered structures that involve trusts, companies, and major assets. In these situations, specialist SMSF expertise is particularly valuable.

Our advisors work extensively with clients to provide personalised guidance on SMSF and other structures, so your financial systems work in sync to serve your goals.

    Bio

    A critical thinker, Jes’s advisory style is comprehensive. She invests in understanding her clients’ complete position, not just one slice of it. The philosophy behind this approach is simple—equipped with an all-angles view of her clients’ world, she can deliver advice that truly serves their big-picture goals. Goals like: maximising their retirement years, passing their business onto the next generation, or providing for the generations to follow.

    One of Jes's key areas of focus is working with clients who have intricate financial situations, particularly business owners, farmers, and professionals who require personalised, ongoing support. She takes pride in simplifying complexity, especially in cases involving trusts, companies, and SMSF scenarios. Jes’s keen interest in SMSFs has made her an invaluable resource for clients embarking on out-of-the-box transactions or seeking in-depth reviews of existing structures.

    Her comprehensive way of working brings a closeness to her client relationships—relationships that grow to encompass a lot more than just finances. She is a trusted partner for the entire journey, by her clients’ sides to weather every storm and celebrate every milestone. In her words, she shares life with her clients.

    “I’m a very empathetic and emotional person, so having a close personal relationship with clients is very rewarding.”

    Born and raised on hobby farms in Echuca and Cawarral, Jes’s rural upbringing instilled in her a strong work ethic and sense of resilience. Inspired by her mother’s determination in the face of adversity, Jes learned the importance of hard work and commitment early on—qualities that have been recognised throughout her career, including being named Rookie of the Year in 2014 and graduating as Dux of her Master of Financial Planning cohort in 2020.

When we sold our business in 2004, we chose Ulton for expert guidance after a disappointing experience with a previous advisor. Ulton has provided invaluable support, particularly after my husband's passing in 2011. Kylie Wright and Sharon Barrera have been professional, friendly, and helpful. Ulton has secured my financial future, and their integrity is unquestionable. I highly recommend Ulton Wealth Management for their trustworthy, helpful, and responsive service."

Your questions,
answered.

How do I know if SMSF is right for me?

An SMSF is not suitable for everyone, which is why we assess your goals, current assets, and risk profile on a case-by-case basis. If an SMSF aligns with your retirement objectives, we’ll design a tailored strategy and provide ongoing support to ensure it remains efficient, compliant, and aligned with your broader financial plan.

Can retirement planning include off-farm or business assets?

Yes. We consider all your assets—including business, farming, and off-farm investments—to create strategies that optimise growth, manage risk, and provide flexibility. Our holistic approach ensures your retirement plan works alongside succession and estate strategies.

How often should I review my retirement plan?

Retirement planning is not a one-off exercise. Our preference is to work with clients over the long term to review and refine plans as circumstances change. Through a continual partnership, we’re able to keep your strategies aligned with where you’re wanting life to take you.

Can you help with intergenerational wealth transfer?

Absolutely. We integrate retirement, succession, and estate planning to protect your family’s wealth. By coordinating strategies across SMSFs, investments, and legal structures, we help ensure a smooth and tax-efficient transfer of wealth to the next generation.

How do you manage risk in retirement investments?
We balance growth and protection strategies tailored to your circumstances. Our team regularly reviews your portfolios, adjusts allocations based on market conditions and risk tolerance, and ensures your investments support both your lifestyle and long-term retirement objectives.
How do you support complex or high-net-worth retirement planning?
For clients with significant or complex assets, we provide bespoke advice that considers tax, succession, and intergenerational objectives. We coordinate across investments, insurance, and estate strategies to ensure your retirement plan protects and grows your wealth for you and future generations.
