Where PLNT can help

Cover the downside. Then build the upside.

Most working Australians are underinsured and underserved, so protection comes first. From there, we build the rest of your plan and keep it current as life changes.

The engagement

How we work together

Three ways to work with us, each scoped and priced before anything begins.

01

Insurance Review & Implementation

A single, scoped engagement. We measure your current cover against what your income, debts and dependants would actually need, recommend the right structure across life, TPD, trauma and income protection, then manage the application and underwriting end to end. You finish with cover you understand. No ongoing commitment.

02

Ongoing Advice

For clients who want the full picture kept current: insurance, super, investments and retirement, reviewed every year and adjusted as life and legislation change. A standing relationship, with support at claim time, rather than a once-a-year check-in.

03

Single-Issue Advice

One decision, properly advised. A redundancy payout, a business insurance structure, consolidating your super. We scope it and price it up front, so you get a clear answer without committing to anything ongoing.

Why PLNT

Advice that's actually on your side.

  • Your story first, numbers second

    Before any product recommendation, we ask what you're building toward, what worries you and who you're doing this for. Strategy without that context is just paperwork.

  • Transparent fees, agreed up front

    You'll know exactly what you're paying, and what it's for, before any work begins. Clear, agreed up front, and nothing hidden.

  • Technical depth in plain English

    The modelling, the fine print, the edge cases. We handle all of it, then give you the answer in language that lets you decide.

  • Cover that pays when it counts

    Insurance is only as good as the claim it pays. If you ever need to claim, we're in it with you, from lodgement to outcome.

A local firm with one job: making sure your money buys the life you actually want.

James Flannery

Financial Adviser & Director · BCom (Financial Planning)

James started PLNT with a straightforward belief: advice works better when your adviser understands your life before they open a spreadsheet.

He has worked in financial services since 2022. Insurance is where most people are most exposed, and most underserved, so it's where PLNT puts the most work.

Clients consistently say two things: we listen, and we're thorough on the technical detail. Both are accurate. For everything outside financial advice, mortgages, tax, legal, we draw on a trusted local network rather than claiming to do it all.

He works with clients in person and online, wherever suits.

How it works

From first call to sorted.

Four steps. You always know where you stand and what's next.

01

A first conversation

Tell us where you're at and what's on your mind. We'll tell you honestly if we can help.

02

Discovery, at no cost

A full meeting to understand your situation, your goals and your story. We ask the questions that matter before we recommend anything.

03

A strategy, built for you

We prepare your advice with fees agreed up front, walk you through it in detail, then handle the implementation, paperwork and all.

04

Ongoing care

Annual reviews plus direct access to your adviser whenever something changes. The plan evolves with you, not just at renewal time.

Why we do this

What we believe.

Most working Australians are underinsured, and most don't know it.
On the gap
Cover isn't a product. It's the plan that holds when life doesn't.
On cover
Advice should be clear enough to explain at the kitchen table.
On clarity

Good things grow in inboxes too

A short note, a few times a year. Market context, insurance reminders and life-planning prompts, from someone who thinks about this every day. No bulk sends, unsubscribe anytime.
