- Let's get started and say hello Retirement can be daunting, there are a lot of lifestyle, health and financial decisions to filter through. Here at Robert’s Retirement Advisory, we aim to guide you on the financial part and make the complex simple. Click here to get in touch with me. Feel free to tell me a bit about yourself, where you are now and where you want to be. We will either pencil in a time for a catch-up or I will be able to point you in a direction to get an answer to your query.
- Catch-up This is where we can meet up in person. I start by getting to know you and your goals. Based on this, I will then give you a fixed cost for a proposal for your financial plan. If you decide you want to proceed with the proposal - that is when the next costs will start. The total cost will vary on complexity and what is needed, the cost will be fixed and in some cases can be paid from your investments or via an invoice (please see the FAQ section for more information about costs).
- Creating and presenting your personalised retirement project plan This is where I then take all the information you have given me, go away and do some further research. This will include talking to your existing super fund providers and getting the sometimes hard to find but important details. I will then analyse your current position, where you want to be and compile a Statement of Advice which is a formal document that will demonstrate my advice to you. The Statement of Advice will incorporate everything from a detailed strategy, product/investment recommendations and projections of how we think your financial situation will look (i.e. if you are on track to meet your retirement goals).
- Implementing your plan I have by now recommended a strategy with moving parts to it. Rest assured as I can now assist in putting everything in place. This will involve me liaising with super funds, Centrelink or it could even be me speaking to your Lawyer or Accountant to make sure your plan and pathway moves as smoothly as possible.
- Reviewing your plan The plan is now in motion but life happens and things change. If you decide to be part of our review service, we will make sure that you are guided through retirement whenever there may be a difficult financial decision or reviewing the original plan that has been put in place.

I am a member of:


Robert’s Retirement Advisory was established to provide sound financial advice to everyday Australians who are looking for help and guidance navigating the financial aspect of planning for retirement or those who are already retired. There are already a lot of other challenges people face whether that may be lifestyle or health challenges when retirement is discussed.
We aim to be a trusted source to help assist and provide clarity around the financial challenges in retirement. Some challenges pre and post retirees face along the way are not knowing how long their funds will last, whether their investments are positioned correctly, what will happen with their estate plan, how to begin to deal with Centrelink or their superannuation fund - this is where we step in to provide advice and implement the advice to give clients the best possible outcome and more importantly peace of mind so they can live their retirement with one less stress.
After working for over 9 years in the financial planning industry, I have gained valuable knowledge and could see there is still so much room for financial advice to develop and grow to ultimately provide a better outcome for clients. So seeing this need I developed Robert’s Retirement Advisory in 2024 as a “go to” spot for those who are wanting financial advice they can trust.

Peter Carson, Google review"Robert Daniele at Robert's Retirement Advisory has been fantastic to deal with. He is professional, approachable, and genuinely cares about getting the right outcomes for his clients.

Susan Jennings, Google review"Robert has been fantastic with organizing my retirement plan. He was very approachable, listened to what I wanted and needed, then tailored a plan and his recommendations accordingly.

He then organized and implemented my plan, checks in at every step of the process and keeps me informed on how things are progressing. I highly recommend Robert for any financial advice for your retirement."
Stuart, Google review"Robert has been amazing. We had used Robert's services in the past, when he set up a financial plan for us. At that time, he worked in another capacity. Back then, we had always found him helpful, trustworthy and reliable. Soon after, the credit union sold off their financial planning arm of their business, and we chose to move away, as the care and follow-up became non-existent. Fast forward a few years and we find ourselves at retirement age. I was happy to see Robert's services advertised on social media and recognized his name. From our past positive experience, we called Robert and have engaged his services once again. He has been helpful with navigating Centrelink and setting up a plan for us again. He has advised us on services we didn't know were available and we can confidently move into the retirement stage of our lives. Nothing seems too much for Robert who is always willing to answer any questions we have."
Donna Bowshall, Google review"From the first time meeting Robert he was timely, respectful and very knowledgeable regarding our financial requirements. He was willing to come to our home to explain and answer any questions we had. He made our financial retirement very easy and always kept us informed with all areas of our retirement life. We would recommend Robert to anyone who wants a trustworthy and committed financial advisor. Peter & Sharon Salisbury North"
Peter May, Google review"Robert's Retirement Advisory was highly recommended to us by family friends. We contacted Robert and made appointment with him to see what he could do for us as we are starting to approach our retirement. From day 1 we have found Robert to be polite, efficient, and his communication skills are of a high standard. He listens to what we are wanting and what's important to us in retirement. He then comes up with recommendations, explains how all works and then leaves us to make the final decision, no pressure from him at all. He really does work for you , he is easy to approach / contact if we have any issues whatsoever nothing seems to be too much for him. My wife and I highly recommend Robert's Financial Advisory. Thank you Robert Claudio & Debra Stocco"

I am very thankful for Robert and his down-to-earth nature. Would definitely recommend."
Caitlin North, Google review"Robert was recommended to us by a good friend. We were seeking advice as my husband is approaching retirement age but as there is a 10 year age gap, I have a little bit longer to go. Robert was able to recommend and implement strategies to maximise the benefits of this age gap and boost our super in ways we never thought possible. Robert took the time to formulate our plan and thoroughly explain it. We felt instantly comfortable sharing our personal financial information with him and it was evident that he understood our goals and retirement planning more broadly. It is reassuring to know we will have his guidance and advice on our journey to retirement and beyond. Thank you Robert."
Diane Holty, Google review"With retirement edging closer Robert has created direction and a clear plan that will increase our tax benefits and utilise our savings to a maximum.

My Services
Services specific to retirees to help take the stress out of retirement.

Transition to Retirement Planning
Retirement's a few years away? Or are you starting to transition to retirement? As a financial planner who specialises in retirement planning and transition to retirement planning, this is where I can help you "start".
Transition Now
Retirement Planning
With a vast knowledge of superannuation, tax, investments, Centrelink and how these all work together, I am able to devise short-term and long-term plans for your retirement and what type of income you will need to live comfortably.
Start Planning
Delivered with Expert Advice
From updating Centrelink to the Pre and Post retirement planning, I have you covered.
Pre retirement planning and post retirement planning

I provide advice to clients both before and during their retirement. I aim to maximise tax savings where possible, ensure investments are in line with your needs and consider how we may be able to improve other outcomes for areas such as Centrelink and your Estate Plan.
Keeping Centrelink in the “know” with your situation

This is never usually a fun task – however I can step in here and look after this. I provide advice on Centrelink strategies and also assistance with applying and keeping Centrelink in the loop on an ongoing basis.
Being a sounding board, always a phone call away

When there is change, it can be hard to know where to go for advice – pick up the phone, give me a call and let me know what’s on your mind. I try to be as accessible as I can be and ready to listen and help if required.
Help define your income needs with expert advice

This is what you need to live on, whether it be right now, in retirement or both. I will consider other income/expenses that may be planned or unplanned whether that be buying a car, downsizing or even upgrading your home.
Building a strategy that considers tax outcomes

I will consider all avenues, whether that be tax personally, tax paid inside your superannuation or tax that the next generation might pay i.e. your Estate.
Put the wheels in motion, consolidating a plan

You may have superannuation accounts, pension accounts or life insurance policies all over the place. This is my expertise knowing how to build a plan and getting all your product providers in sync to what you need.

I am ready to retire, can I trust AI for financial advice?
By Robert Daniele
AI needs to be used with caution a lot of the time because we know it can get things wrong. It is though getting better at a fast pace. Who knows, maybe one day there will be less errors AI make compared with humans. At the time of writing in September 2026 – I have seen especially in the last 12 months the accuracy increase. As a younger financial …

Income layering in retirement
By Robert Daniele
Income layering in retirement is used to describe someone’s various sources of income in retirement. Most clients I see usually have more than one source or one layer of income. These layers of income can also change over time. It might start out for example when you are preparing for retirement, you might go from 5 days a week work to 2 days per …

FAQ
Where are you located?
By appointment only at my office in Modbury. Address is Tea Tree Plus Shopping Centre, Shop 12/18 1020 North East Road, Modbury SA 5092What are your opening hours?
I am available by appointment only Monday to Friday 9am - 5pm.What are your fees?
To have an initial face to face catch-up the cost is $330 to discuss your needs.
From there I will be able to provide you a fixed cost of what it would be for your personalised “project”.
If you proceed with a formal “project” - the initial $330 can be put towards your total cost.
Please refer to our financial services guide for more information.
Worked Example Costs
I like to make fees easy and simple to understand so please contact me if you have any questions.
My fees for initial advice start at $3,300 and are no higher than $8,800.
Note – these fees will be confirmed and fixed in the meeting – the amount will depend on complexity.
My fee for my review service generally follows the below structure. It can sometimes be negotiated more or less depending on the advice I am providing relevant to you.
For example:
- If you have between $0 - $500,000 of investible funds the approximate annual review fee is $4,400.
- If you have between $500,001 - $750,000 of investible funds the approximate annual review fee is $5,500.
- If you have between $750,001 - $1,000,000 of investible funds the approximate annual review fee is $6,600.
- If you have between $1,000,001 - $1,250,000 of investible funds the approximate annual review fee is $7,700.
- If you have between $1,250,001 - $1,500,000+ of investible funds the approximate annual review fee is $8,800.
Worked Example Situation
Jane and John are both 67 years old.
They have $800,000 in superannuation combined and have recently retired.
They would like advice around setting up an income stream from superannuation, helping with the age pension application process through Centrelink, making sure their investments in their fund are working for them, financial modelling to see how long their funds will last.
They would pay in this instance $5,500 for a Statement of Advice – this will include the written advice and implementing the above strategies (i.e. setting up income streams and helping with the age pension application process).
If Jane and John would like to ensure their finances, Centrelink and strategies were looked after on an ongoing basis and be a part of my annual review service they would pay a fixed fee of $6,600.
Do you offer advice paid by the hour or in our initial meeting?
Under the current legislative landscape for a licensed financial planner like myself, the laws require any personal advice we give to be documented and recorded in what’s called a Statement of Advice.
I only provide personal advice at my business and this means I am unable to provide advice for an hourly rate as I need to develop and document all advice in a Statement of Advice.
In our initial catch-up, it is structured for me to get to know you, you to get to know me then talk about your goals and what you are hoping to achieve.
I can let you know then the areas of advice I can assist with - then provide you a fixed fee for a Statement of Advice in our initial meeting which you can then decide if you would like to proceed.
What experience do you have?
Over 9 years working in the financial planning industry.What super funds do you work with?
I have worked with lots of different funds over the years, every product is different and every individual is different, I will endeavour to find the best one that meets your needs. Whether that be the fund you are currently with, or an alternative industry fund or private fund. My financial licence isn’t held by a product provider so I am not tied to or get paid any commissions from any superannuation or pension product, meaning I have flexibility to make the best choice for your individual needs.What type of service do I get?
Every one of my clients receives the same quality service that is guaranteed, this is irrespective of if you have $200,000 in your super fund or $2,000,000 in your super fund.What's included in your review services?
- Annual reviews of your situation: this will cover your original plan we put in place and seeing what has changed or what will need to change. Planning to downsize your home or something else comes up in retirement? Extra meetings and advice for these unknowns are at no extra charge unlike some advisers.
- Unlimited access: part of being on my review service will ensure you can contact me throughout the year with questions through emails or phone call.
- Advisory service: Have an idea about a new car? Concerned about a new piece of legislation the government is proposing? We’re here to help answer these questions.
- This is a small family business and we work with a smaller number of clients intentionally. This helps us get to know you better and you to get to know us better, resulting in a much more worry-free retirement.
Do you provide investment advice to different structures like Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF) or business entities?
Although I am licensed to provide advice on structures like SMSF and business entities, I am no longer accepting new clients in this space. The rules can be quite complex and change often in this area, I would recommend seeking an advisor who specialises in this area as part of their core business.Who does your work?
Me – Robert. All the advice is researched and developed here in Australia – there is no outsourcing of work overseas. Quality and security when dealing with clients’ retirement savings are of the utmost importance.
