High Net worth individuals
Generally, these individuals have assets in excess of $1 million (on top of the family home). It has been our experience that they need a tax advisor who keeps up-to-date with the latest taxation and investment strategies to ensure they are taking full advantage of any tax savings available.
They also have a few structures through which they investment or operate, including family trusts and self managed superannuation funds. At Face we ensure our clients carry out tax planning before year end to fully utilise this structures and minimise taxation.
Our high net worth individual clients have a range of backgrounds including sportspeople, doctors, board directors, accountants and investors.
Property Investment & Development
With years of experience in taxation compliance and advising for public offer property companies and trusts we are able to assist our clients in tax effectively structuring their property investments.
We are able to carry out "property investment modelling" to show the before and after tax and cash flow results of negatively gearing property investment and/or developments, as well as selecting the most appropriate structure to use.
We currently have clients ranging from those who are building a property portfolio through the use of unit or hybrid trusts to those clients undertaking large scale property developments through the use of partnerships, joint ventures and companies.

Family owned businesses are unique. No two families or businesses are alike which means each family business has its own strengths and weaknesses to contend with.
