Just wanted to pass on how incredibly impressed I was with Quade Fraser, I have some complicated aspects to my personal situation and was looking at the a purchase of a property while needing to consider multiple individuals, a company and with my contracting and GST considerations.
I asked the consultant multiple questions over our meeting and he was able to calmly and articulately answer everything and give me cause to think about a whole lot of areas I would not have even thought of including; bright line, GST, mixed-use assets, trust structures (considering children beneficiaries), utilising a company structure etc. The bottom line is, I have a much better idea on what we need to do to structure my affairs in the most beneficial way for my family over the long-term.
Very knowledgeable, professional and with a great manner too. I got a huge amount of value out of the meeting.
