## Posts
- [Start Paying Off a Mortgage Faster in 7 Easy Steps](https://hpartners.com.au/paying-off-a-mortgage-faster-in-7-steps/): A calculator can show you the maths, but it can't tell you whether extra repayments, an offset, super or investing is the right move for your life. That's where we come in.
- [Economic Snapshot – September 2026](https://hpartners.com.au/economic-snapshot-september-2026/): The best performing asset class (aside from energy) in September was Emerging Markets which was up a reasonable 2.5%.
- [Brisbane Property Slump: What It Means](https://hpartners.com.au/brisbane-property-slump/): Before anyone starts panicking: this is not a crash. Here's what's happening with Brisbane home values, why, and what it could mean for you.
- [Christmas Party Tax 2026: What Businesses Should Know](https://hpartners.com.au/christmas-party-tax/): Fringe benefits tax (FBT) is a tax that employers pay when they give staff (or their partners and families) non-cash perks. A Christmas party counts as "entertainment," so it falls into the FBT category. The FBT rate is 47%, so it's not a tax you want to pay by accident!
- [Tax Time ATO Scams & The 31 October Deadline](https://hpartners.com.au/tax-time-ato-scams-the-31-october-deadline/): Our accounting team in Brisbane and Toowoomba can prepare and lodge your return, make sure you're claiming everything you're entitled to (and nothing you're not), and flag anything that looks off.
- [Estate Planning in Australia: A Simple 4-Part Guide](https://hpartners.com.au/estate-planning-in-australia/): Estate planning is deciding who gets your assets when you die, and who makes decisions for you if you can't. It's a set of legal documents that work together, backed by a financial strategy that makes sure the numbers actually add up.
- [RBA Rate Rise September 2026: What Investors Need to Know](https://hpartners.com.au/rba-rate-rise-september-2026/): All four of Australia's major banks are now forecasting the Reserve Bank of Australia will lift the official cash rate by 25 basis points to 4.6% next week.
- [Income Protection for FIFO Workers: 6 Things to Check](https://hpartners.com.au/income-protection-for-fifo-workers/): If you're a mining worker earning a large FIFO income, your ability to earn is probably your biggest financial asset. Yet, many people in the FIFO industry are underinsured, wrongly insured, or insured in a way that disappears right when they need it.
- [Discover How to Hand Over a Business to Family](https://hpartners.com.au/discover-how-to-hand-over-a-business-to-family/): Knowing how to hand over a business to family is a project, not a leap of faith. Done properly, business succession planning in Australia is less "cliff edge" and more "long, gentle off-ramp." Here's how the two main paths work, passing it to family, or selling to a buyer, and what they have in common.
- [Economic Snapshot – August 2026](https://hpartners.com.au/economic-snapshot-august-2026/): USA and Emerging Markets produced positive returns in August, and this was due to strong earnings results, and best amongst the tech sector. In Australia, small companies bounced back with a strong 5% return in August, and this was also due to stronger than expected earnings announcements.
- [Trust vs Company: The Big Structure Decision](https://hpartners.com.au/trust-vs-company-the-big-structure-decision/): If you're in that mid-stage zone, here's how a trust vs company actually compares across the three things that matter: tax, asset protection and succession. And, more importantly, why those three can't be assessed one at a time.
- [The Centrelink Pension Increase: 3 Things to Check](https://hpartners.com.au/the-centrelink-pension-increase/): More than 5.3 million Australians are getting a pay rise from Centrelink, lifting the Age Pension, Disability Support Pension, Carer Payment, JobSeeker, Parenting Payment, Youth Allowance, ABSTUDY and Commonwealth Rent Assistance.
- [Credit Card Surcharge Ban 2026: Rewards Points Are Shrinking](https://hpartners.com.au/credit-card-surcharge-ban-2026/): Most of the major banks are reducing what your credit card points are worth, and the timing is not a coincidence. It lines up almost exactly with the Reserve Bank's credit card surcharge ban, which lands on 1 October 2026.
- [Easy First Home Buyer Financial Advice in Australia](https://hpartners.com.au/first-home-buyer-financial-advice/): Since 1 October 2025, the federal First Home Guarantee 2026 (also known as the 5% Deposit Scheme) removed income caps entirely, scrapped the annual limit on places, and lifted property price caps across the country. In Brisbane and key Queensland regional centres, the cap sits at $1,000,000.

- [Insurance Claim Denied? What To Do Next](https://hpartners.com.au/insurance-claim-denied-what-to-do/): Here's the thing most people don't realise about having an insurance claim denied in Australia: the denial letter is the on-field decision, not the final score. There is a formal, free, well-established process for sending it upstairs, and a surprising number of decisions get changed along the way.

- [Economic Snapshot – July 2026](https://hpartners.com.au/economic-snapshot-july-2026/): USA and Asian sharemarkets ended lower, and in Asia it was largely thanks to massive volatility in Korea (think Samsung and semiconductors). Whilst the Korean market ended down 22% for July, this included a last day increase of 18%! Artificial intelligence will be a big contributor to the global economy, and it will be responsible for any global sharemarket volatility, whether success or otherwise in the coming months.
- [Car Insurance Premiums Just Increased 8% — Why?](https://hpartners.com.au/car-insurance-premiums/): If your insurer won't tell you what's driving your increase, you can't make an informed call on whether to stay put or shop around. It's a bit like a mechanic handing you a bill for "car stuff: $1,400" and expecting a cheerful thanks. You deserve to know what you're paying for.
- [Wealth Creation at Every Life Stage](https://hpartners.com.au/wealth-creation/): Nobody gets fit from one dramatic gym session. It's the small, repeated efforts done consistently for years that quietly transform things. Money works the same way. The secret ingredient isn't luck; it's time, good decisions and a good wealth planner.
- [6 Pathways to Building Wealth](https://hpartners.com.au/six-pathways-to-building-wealth/): You don't need a six-figure salary or a windfall to get started with wealth management. You just need a plan, a bit of patience, and the willingness to let time do the heavy lifting.
- [Labour Gas Tax – Why Are Bills So High?](https://hpartners.com.au/labour-gas-tax/): Australia is one of the biggest gas exporters on the planet. We ship liquefied natural gas all over the world, the value of those exports has grown more than twenty-fold over the past 25 years, and yet… your energy bill hasn't reduced.
- [Age Pension Assets Test 2026: How Much Can You Have?](https://hpartners.com.au/age-pension-assets-test-2026/): The assets test looks at the market value of almost everything you own: your super (once you're of Age Pension age, currently 67), bank accounts, term deposits, shares, managed funds, investment properties, your car, and even your household contents.
- [Trump Tariffs Australia: What It Means for Your Money](https://hpartners.com.au/trump-tariffs-australia/): US tariffs on Australia news makes the markets twitchy, and twitchy markets can mean a bumpy few weeks. Check your super balance and you might feel a little queasy. That's normal, but it's also exactly why we're big believers in not making long-term decisions based on short-term drama.
- [Financial Planner vs Accountant: Who Helps With What?](https://hpartners.com.au/financial-planner-vs-accountant-who-helps-with-what/): An accountant might save you tax this financial year. Your financial planner makes sure those savings are actually building toward something. When the two work in isolation, you can end up with a beautifully tax-efficient plan.
- [Where Is My Money Going? How to Track Spending In 5 Steps](https://hpartners.com.au/how-to-track-spending-in-5-steps/): Here's the good news: your money isn't vanishing into a black hole. It's going somewhere very specific, and you can find out exactly where in about twenty minutes.

- [Economic Snapshot – June 2026](https://hpartners.com.au/economic-snapshot-june-2026/): Whilst the global economic growth expectations have been revised down by major economic agencies, most sharemarkets have soldiered on producing solid returns for June.

- [Brisbane Property Market: Why Prices Are Holding Firm](https://hpartners.com.au/brisbane-property-market/): While the southern capitals took the brunt of it, Brisbane house prices actually grew 0.3% over the month.

- [Splitting Super in a Divorce: What Happens to Your Money?](https://hpartners.com.au/splitting-super-in-a-divorce/): For a lot of Australians, super is one of the largest assets they own, sometimes worth more than the family home. So when a relationship ends, splitting super in a divorce is a core part of getting a fair property settlement.
- [Salary Sacrifice 101: Super Support to Boost Your Balance](https://hpartners.com.au/salary-sacrifice-101-super-support/): At its core, salary sacrifice is an agreement between you and your employer to redirect part of your before-tax salary into your superannuation fund, instead of having it land in your bank account as take-home pay. You're not giving anything away for free, you're simply choosing to receive a slightly smaller pay packet now in exchange for a slightly larger retirement nest egg later.

- [5 Car Repossession Protections That Can Help You](https://hpartners.com.au/5-car-repossession-protections/): Let's clear something up first.

- [EOFY Sales 2026: Where to Find the Best Discounts in QLD](https://hpartners.com.au/eofy-sales-2026/): Most EOFY Sales run from early June through to midnight on 30 June, with a few stragglers limping into early July.

- [Redundancy Calculator: 4 Easy Steps to Work it Out](https://hpartners.com.au/redundancy-calculator/): A redundancy happens when your employer decides your role is no longer needed - not because of anything you did, but because the job itself has been eliminated.
