WB Financial Australia

WB Financial Australia Specialist self-managed superannuation fund advisory, dedicated to helping you to secure your financial future & achieve your lifestyle choices.

The journey of the Australia-wide group of WB Financial offices begins in 1988, with the adoption of the name, ‘Windsor Bartholomew’, and operating very successfully from its Brisbane offices. The year 1990 saw the company move to WB House, located at 32 Logan Rd, Woolloongabba; overlooking the famous Gabba cricket ground amongst a wonderful mix of retail, cafes, and antique showrooms. In 1996, “W

B Financial” was officially born as a boutique group; and in 2005, branding was refreshed to its current logo from the old lions-head door-knocker symbol from Durham Cathedral in the United Kingdom – legend has it that any person who wished to have “financial sanctuary” could achieve it by grabbing hold of the door-knocker. In 2006, our Presidio office was opened, and Presidio Financial Services was trading as a WB office, the following year. Aligned with the same philosophy, Presidio is derived from the Spanish word, meaning “fortress”, with the intent of protecting its holdings and the missions of its occupants. In adopting this name, we made the decision to be exactly that for our clients: we are a base – a fortress that can be relied upon. The WBF journey involves creating a map that allows clients to travel the road to financial independence and pro-actively address these three non-negotiables. Ultimately, following the map and embarking on the WBF journey places clients in the best possible position to achieve their lifestyle choices. At WB Financial, we don’t just offer you advice on how to achieve your financial and lifestyle goals; we take you on a journey which we refer to as the ‘Advice Process’. This process commences from the moment you meet with your advice team throughout the life of your relationship with WB Financial (WBF).

EOFY is a useful time to review contributions and consider deductions. It's also worth stepping back and asking whether your current strategy still aligns with where you're actually headed.

Tax outcomes matter. But decisions made quickly at year-end can carry longer-term implications, particularly when the bigger picture isn't part of the conversation.

A balanced approach considers both, the immediate tax benefit and what it means for your flexibility, access to capital, and long-term goals.

It's easy for financial goals to quietly drift as the year gets busy. Mid-year is a natural point to pause and check in on where things actually stand.

Worth asking yourself: Do your goals from the start of the year still reflect what matters to you now? Has anything changed in your income, expenses, or circumstances that's worth accounting for? And how are your savings habits and investments tracking?

Financial planning is about staying adaptable. Small adjustments made now can make a meaningful difference to where you finish the year.

With half the year still ahead, there's plenty of time to build momentum.

30 June is almost here. A quick review now can make a real difference to how smoothly the year wraps up.

Start with the basics. Pull together your income details, bank statements, and investment records. Check that your expenses are accounted for and that your records are complete.

Then take a moment to reflect. Has your income changed this year? Are your finances still aligned with your goals? A simple check-in can flag anything worth acting on before the year closes out.

EOFY is also a good moment to look ahead. Knowing where things stand now means you can step into the new financial year with a clearer picture of what you want to work toward.

If you want to make sure nothing gets missed, there's still time to speak with an adviser before 30 June.

Interest rates touch more of your financial life than most people realise.

When rates rise, variable mortgage repayments go up, borrowing costs increase, and household budgets can feel the squeeze. But there's another side to it too. Savers often benefit from better returns on savings accounts and term deposits, which can make a real difference over time.

Even if you don't have a loan, rate movements can still affect you through rental markets, business costs, and the broader price of goods and services.

The key is understanding how your own finances are structured and how they respond to change, so you stay in a strong position whatever the environment looks like.

Our recent article covers the basics clearly and without the jargon.

Our May 2026 economic update is out.

There's a lot to unpack this month. The RBA lifted the cash rate to 4.35%, its third consecutive increase, while global markets have shown resilience, with the S&P 500 finishing April at a record close. The AI boom remains largely intact, and international earnings results have been strong.

Locally, Australian equities gained 2.2% in April, the Materials and IT sectors led the charge, and the Australian dollar continues to strengthen against the US dollar.

Our full update covers the RBA decision and what it means for mortgages, what's happening with US interest rates and the Fed, global market performance across equities, bonds, gold, oil, and iron ore, and the latest on China, the US, and Europe.
