Quick — define “wealthy.” What comes to mind?

For some, it’s luxury homes and prestige cars. For others, it’s early retirement, security, or simply not worrying about the next bill. Clearly, definitions vary. But the more important question for many Australians today is:

What actually makes someone wealthy — and how do ordinary Australians get there?

According to Dictionary.com, to be “rich” is to be “abundantly supplied with resources, means, or funds.” But modern financial research consistently highlights something surprising:

Being wealthy isn’t just about income It’s about how efficiently you manage, protect, and grow your money — especially through tax-effective strategies, and this is where many Australians leave tens of thousands of dollars on the table.

Households earning AUD183,000 aren’t typically ending up with AUD4.7 million in wealth — and the gap highlights an important truth: wealth isn’t determined by income alone, but by how strategically your finances are managed, particularly from a tax perspective. True wealth comes not just from earning, but from how strategically you steward your finances, particularly when it comes to tax planning.

When choosing someone to help you grow and protect your wealth, make the choice count.

Not all financial advisers are alike. Many can help with basic investments, but the real differentiator is whether they understand tax-efficient strategies. Look for an adviser who acts as a fiduciary — someone legally obligated to put your best interests first, especially when it comes to structuring your finances to minimise unnecessary tax.

What to do: Ask your adviser about their tax-planning experience and how they approach investment structuring. Your adviser should be well-versed in the areas where you need the most support and aligned with your unique financial situation.

The danger of ‘do-it-yourself’ tax planning?

While many successful people are experts in their own careers, not all types of knowledge translate to effective tax planning.

For example, many people could, in theory, do their own taxes. But almost everyone chooses to work with a skilled tax advisor instead.

Taxes are the same. Although many people can manage their own filings, those with complex finances or substantial income almost always benefit from professional guidance.

Just like a costly mistake on a tax return, there are real consequences to a do-it-yourself approach—especially in a climate of ever-changing tax laws and regulations.

"It is far more costly to make a tax mistake than the price you pay for professional guidance," said Winnie Sun, president and founder of California-based Sun Group Wealth Partners (CNBC).

Even if you’ve successfully handled your own taxes so far,it’s wise to schedule a free consultation with a financial advisor to identify any potential risks, missed deductions, or compliance issues.

To save time searching, use this form to connect with tax professionals in your area who specialize in clients with your financial situation and goals.

As uncertainty grows, professional tax guidance becomes increasingly important

As tax laws become more complex and financial situations more varied, working with a qualified tax advisor is becoming increasingly common.

TThe demand for tax professionals is expected to grow steadily over the next decade, reflecting the need for expert guidance in navigating ever-changing regulations.

Finding a tax advisor isn’t something you can be rushed into," said Sun (CNBC).

"You’ll know when the time is right."

After you choose your area and answer a few questions, you can compare up to three advisors that serve your area and decide which to work with.

How old are you?

Financial needs change over time, and we want to provide the best advice for your stage of life. Our services are available to those 18 and older.

This is not an offer to provide legal, accounting, or tax advice. Working with a tax advisor may involve potential costs, such as fees, which can vary depending on services provided. There are no guarantees that engaging a tax advisor will result in a reduction of tax liability or avoidance of penalties. The existence of a fiduciary duty does not eliminate the potential for conflicts of interest.

This service is not a tax preparer, accountant, or legal advisor. It is intended only to help you better understand tax organization, planning, and decision-making in a broad sense. Your personal financial and tax situation is unique, and any guidance obtained through this service may not be appropriate for your circumstances. Before making any final decisions or implementing any tax strategy, you should seek additional advice from a qualified tax professional who is fully aware of your individual circumstances.

A wholly owned subsidiary is not a tax preparer or accounting firm. Its services are limited to referring users to third-party tax advisors ("Advisors") who are registered or chartered with a recognized regulatory body in Australia, such as the Tax Practitioners Board (TPB), and who have chosen to participate in our matching platform based on information collected from users through our online questionnaire. This service does not review the ongoing performance of any Advisor, participate in the preparation of your tax filings, or provide advice regarding specific tax positions.

We do not prepare tax returns, manage client funds, or hold custody of assets; our role is solely to help users connect with relevant tax advisors.
