Certainty ACCREDITATION

Tailored, strategic consulting and planning to help you and your business find the quickest path to growth and returns.

Certainty Advisers are different.

Unfortunately, only a minority of Australians obtain financial advice. Certainty Advisers aim to address the imbalance by leading a new approach to the pricing and delivery of advice. They adhere to the only approved standard of advice with IP Australia built upon leadership, advocacy, growth and fairness.

Certainty Advisers is not a product-dealer group, but a group of advisers adhering to needed advice standards for comprehensive advice clients.

By combining and sharing the experience of implementing needed advice standards, the objective of Certainty Advisers is the acceleration of the acceptance, availability and delivery of valuable advice for more Australians.

LEADERSHIP

THE WRONG WAY TO BUY COMPREHENSIVE ADvicE

Offering comprehensive financial advice and charging based upon amount of money is not fair to the client. It also unfair for society to build an advice industry exclusively for those who are already wealthy. Comprehensive advice should be priced on the value of the advice, not the amount of money under advice.

THE RIGHT WAY TO BUY COMPREHENSIVE ADVICE

Clients only need advice when they face a situation that they cannot resolve without it. The value of the advice must be determined by the client, not any amount of money or amount of effort. If the client does not perceive value from advice then why should the amount of money invested or hours effort matter?

ADVOCACY

THE WRONG WAY TO PROMOTE COMPREHENSIVE ADvicE

Comprehensive financial advice is not about product choices. Certainty Advisers advocate against the widespread rent-seeking efforts by product providers who seek to confuse Australians into believing that costs, product features, latest market trends and past performance is the key to better financial lives.

THE RIGHT WAY TO PROMOTE COMPREHENSIVE ADVICE

Comprehensive financial advice is about life choices. Products matter, but only as a potential means to valued progress. Certainty Advisers advocate a philosophy from Plato – “The cure of a part should not be attempted without the treatment of the whole” – to ensure the greatest probability to achieve the greatest progress while considering the unique circumstances of each client.

GROWTH

THE WRONG WAY TO GROW COMPREHENSIVE ADvicE

Growth of comprehensive advice firms is not about growth of assets under management, product ranges or amount of “fees for service”.  These are measures for product specialists who play important roles, but whose advice is not to be confused with comprehensive impartial advice.

THE RIGHT WAY TO grow COMPREHENSIVE ADVICE

Growth of Certainty Advice firms is about growth of valuable client relationships based not upon increased “fees for service” arrangements or amount of “funds under management”, but rather based on old-fashioned “value for money”. Certainty Advice firms are aligned to well-established standards while sharing their lessons to expedite the spread of valuable advice for more Australians.
