Who needs a financial planner?

According to research, between 60 and 80 per cent of Australians have never used a financial planner.*
Many people decide not to seek out financial advice because they either feel ashamed about their financial situation, they may have preconceived ideas about who will benefit from financial advice, they may feel as though they don’t have enough money to invest or they may feel that financial advice is only relevant for retirement planning.
The truth is, everyone can benefit from visiting a financial planner whether they're young or old, high or low income, single or married.
