Retirement Planning
Crafting Your Future Today
Start Early for a Better Tomorrow
Retirement planning is crucial, and the earlier you begin, the smoother your journey will be. No matter where you are in life, it’s never too soon to prepare for retirement. Implementing a strategy early simplifies achieving your goals.
Expertise at Your Service
At Continuum Financial Planners (ContinuumFP), our experienced team offers tailored solutions for your retirement plan.
Where Are You in Your Retirement Journey?
- Considering Retirement? It’s more than just financial preparation; it’s about being ready physically, mentally, and financially. Financial independence, supplementing superannuation with Centrelink benefits, or relying on Centrelink – where do you stand?
- Thinking About Early Retirement? Reducing work hours and boosting superannuation contributions can accelerate your savings.
- Is Centrelink in Your Plan? Advance planning ensures you maximise any Centrelink benefits, including Age Pension and Health Card entitlements.
Choosing Your Retirement Income Stream
Retirement income can come from superannuation pensions (like Account Based Pensions) or assets outside superannuation. Many opt for a mix of both. Whether it’s through a self-managed super fund or public offer platforms, we can guide you.
Tailored Strategies for Every Individual
Every person’s circumstances are unique, requiring a customised approach to investment strategy, asset allocation, and risk profiling. Contact ContinuumFP to start on a path toward a financially independent retirement.
Long-Term Planning for a Comfortable Retirement
A well-structured wealth accumulation and management program is key to a comfortable retirement. At ContinuumFP, we are committed to ensuring your retirement income is both adequate and tax-efficient.

TESTIMONIALS
What our clients say
I have been a client of Damien at Continuum for several years after he was recommended to me. He listens to my needs and concerns and is always considerate of my situation when making recommendations. He has helped me navigate through several very complex issues, including the death of a family member. I feel confident that my finances are in very trusted hands, and I would highly recommend Damien and Continuum to anyone seeking financial planning advice.
Judy
I have been a very satisfied customer of Continuum since 2007 when I purchased a house. My husband and I engaged Warwick Bragg as our financial adviser and saw our superannuation balance grow exponentially over the years. The advice received for retirement and estate planning has been spot-on. We are now comfortably set-up in retirement, with no debts and a healthy financial future. We are grateful for the advice received. We appreciate the personal service, the quick responses to our questions, and the genuine care and concern for our individual needs. We fully recommend and endorse the services of Continuum.
David
I have dealt with Warwick Bragg at Continuum for over 12 years and I am very satisfied with the advice, the promptness of service and the openness of fee structures. Warwick is open and innovative in recommending strategies and ideas that are tailored for the individual client.
I have particularly benefited from his knowledge of Transition to Retirement Planning and then the actual Planning to Retire stages of financial advice. I have benefited most, when I have clearly articulated my own objectives in life, so that any financial strategies could be targeted best to meet those goals
Ian
Warwick, thank you so much for traveling to meet with us face to face to discuss our personal financial needs and goals – we are very grateful that you took the necessary time to understand our private and business situation and comprehensively explore our options with us.
Rachel
Warwick and the team keep us informed of developments in investment markets, about regulation changes affecting retirement planning and income streams and provide counsel about structuring the investments we have accumulated. Our family looks forward to an ongoing working relationship with ContinuumFP for many years to come.
Don – Gold Coast
As an engineer I am very interested in quality data and professional analysis. In the almost five years since I confirmed their appointment Eric and Warwick as my Advisers, have been very responsive to my needs and provide detailed information when I am asked to consider any recommendations they are making.
