Garth McNally
Director, Hayes Knight (NSW)
Garth knows superannuation. It’s an area he has been intimately involved with for many years – helping clients and the profession make sense of an increasingly complex regulatory environment and how they need to apply the rules in the ‘real world’.
A Financial Planner by profession, Garth works closely with clients helping them build, develop, and maintain their wealth. More than this however, the combination of his financial planning skills and depth of superannuation knowledge means that he often sees ways and methods of delivering results that many others simply do not see. When you are a business owner trying to work out how to manage your personal wealth, your business assets, and your SMSF, and stay within the rules, the practicality of his knowledge is an important differentiator.
In addition to his client work, Garth advises accountants Australia wide on superannuation fund strategies and compliance requirements on behalf of their clients.
Sharing his knowledge Garth writes and presents on SMSF and superannuation issues. He is a regular, knowledgeable, and practical presenter for industry groups and private organisations including CPA Australia and Knowledge Shop.
Garth is a Director of Hayes Knight Financial Planning (NSW) Pty Limited, which is an Authorised Representative of Merit Wealth.
