Financial Advisor for Pre-Retirees
Find Out Exactly When You Can Stop Working
The 5 to 10 years before retirement are the most important of your financial life. The decisions you make now will determine the income you have, the lifestyle you live, and how long your money lasts. Track Wealth helps pre-retirees get those decisions right.
Sound familiar?
I want to retire in the next few years but I genuinely don't know if we can afford to or whether the timing is right.
How long will my money actually last in retirement? What happens if I live longer than expected?
I feel like I'm paying too much tax in my highest-earning years and I'm running out of time to do something about it.

You're a Few Years Out and You Want a Clear Answer on Whether You're Ready
You’ve been working toward retirement for a long time. The super is there, the investments are in place but you’ve never had anyone sit down and tell you definitively whether it’s enough, when you can stop, and what the income will look like.
That’s exactly what we do. We model the numbers, show you the scenarios, and give you a clear answer so you can make the decision with confidence rather than anxiety.
- A clear retirement projection based on your actual numbers
- Multiple scenarios modelled at different retirement dates
- Identification of what needs to change to retire sooner
- A strategy that gives you certainty before you hand in your notice
You're in Your Peak Earning Years and Want to Make the Most of the Time Remaining
The final years of a working career are typically the highest-earning and the best opportunity to accelerate your wealth. Maximising super contributions, reducing tax, and making sure your investments are positioned correctly in this window can make a significant difference to the retirement you end up with.
Most people in this position don’t have a strategy for the final stretch. They just keep doing what they’ve always done and hope it’s enough. We make sure it is.
- Concessional contribution maximisation and catch-up strategies
- Salary sacrifice structures tailored to your final working years
- Investment strategy review ahead of the transition to retirement
- Tax planning to reduce what you pay in your highest-earning years
You Want to Retire Earlier Than Planned and Don't Know If It's Possible
One of our clients wanted to work two more years. After one conversation with Track Wealth, they handed in their resignation, bought a beachside property, and booked an overseas trip to celebrate. They now have $120,000 of comfortable annual retirement income.
Most people who think they need to keep working don’t. They just haven’t had anyone run the numbers properly. We do.
- Retirement income modelling at your preferred early retirement date
- Identification of what needs to happen between now and then
- Super and investment strategy to close any gap
- Transition plan to make the exit as tax-effective as possible

“We came to Leigh with a specific set of objectives including tax minimization, travel, estate planning, cashflow management, superannuation strategy but most importantly a goal to retire within the next three years. Well he knocked it out of the park, all boxes ticked. He has strategically dealt with each objective, delivered on his promises, communicated effectively and often enough. I have seen two other financial planners in the past and neither were worth old salt Leigh has changed my previous perceptions he will go far.. We endorse him wholeheartedly.“
Craig Pratt
“Leigh worked with us for almost a year, sorting out the transfer of our Kiwisaver to our Australian Super accounts, and supporting our insurance plans. It all took much longer than it should have been, only due to our significant delays in completing tasks. He was patient with us, clear, and advocated for us when needed. I highly recommend Leigh for personal, professional service.“
