Protecting your financial foundation.
For family business owners and high-earning professionals, a sudden health event isn’t just a personal tragedy. It is a structural risk to the entire family’s financial future. Whether it involves covering significant debt, funding a business succession, or ensuring your family’s lifestyle remains uninterrupted, the question is always the same: Will our capital survive if my income stops?
Jonathon works with you to replace risk-related guesswork with absolute structural certainty. We audit your existing cover and build a safety net that protects your wealth architecture, so you can confidently switch off.

OUR PROCESS
Securing your financial transition.
A clear three-stage engagement - no surprises, no jargon, and absolutely no rushed recommendations.
STEP 01
The First Conversation
We begin with a brief, focused phone call to ensure we are a good mutual fit. From there, we sit down for a comprehensive strategy meeting. There is no ticking clock. We stay until we have mapped every detail of your current risk exposure and existing insurance structures.
STEP 02
Personalised Architecture
We don’t believe in generic default policies. Jonathon goes to work behind the scenes, carefully modelling the exact combinations of retail insurance covers, tax pathways, and premium structures that suit your specific family dynamics and debt levels.
STEP 03
Advice & Implementation
We present the strategic path to you clearly. Once you give us the green light, we construct the formal Statement of Advice (SOA) to implement your protection strategy. From there, we transition into an ongoing partnership to adapt your cover as your wealth grows.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Removing the guesswork from your insurance.
Is my default superannuation insurance enough?
For most high-earning professionals and business owners, the default cover inside superannuation is severely underfunded and highly restrictive. We audit your existing default cover to identify critical gaps and structure bespoke retail policies that actually reflect your true debt levels and income needs.
Are personal risk insurance premiums tax-deductible?
It depends entirely on the policy and how it is structured. Income protection premiums are generally tax deductible when paid from your personal name, though it is important to note that any benefits paid out are treated as taxable income. Life and TPD premiums are usually not tax deductible unless they are structured strategically through your superannuation (and keep in mind, TPD benefits can be taxable if held inside Super). Trauma insurance, however, cannot be held inside superannuation at all; its premiums are never tax deductible, but the benefits paid out are completely tax free. We map out the most tax effective funding methods for your specific situation.
What is the difference between TPD and Trauma insurance?
Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) pays a lump sum if a doctor determines you can never work again. Trauma insurance pays a lump sum immediately upon the diagnosis of a specified severe medical event like a heart attack, stroke, or cancer, regardless of whether you can eventually return to work. Both serve entirely different structural purposes in protecting your wealth.
