Stephen John McIntyre
“We were recommended to contact Nick from Hutton Financial when looking at buying our first house and now we can’t recommend him enough! As first home buyers everything is a bit daunting during the buying process, however having Nick there to help with all the nitty gritty, offering support and clear professional advise from start to finish (and passed the finish) gave us so much more confidence.
Nick worked above and beyond through every stage, as it was always about making the right decisions for us. Available on the phone and email (when busy, he would contact us back as soon as possible without fail).
We will definitely be contacting Hutton Financial in the future!”

Recent Diary Notes

Federal Budget 2026-27

The 2026-27 Federal Budget has landed with some of the most significant structural tax changes in a generation. Treasurer Jim Chalmers has overhauled the rules for property investors, winding back negative gearing to new builds only and replacing the long-standing 50% capital gains tax discount with inflation-indexed gains and a 30% minimum tax rate. Family trusts face a new 30% minimum tax from 2028, while workers get a $250 permanent tax offset and an immediate $1,000 work-related deduction. For motorists, fuel excise has been temporarily halved and the electric vehicle FBT exemption is being phased out over three years. Here is what it all means for your finances.

The Psychology of Grief and Wealth

When a loved one passes away, the profound emotional weight of grief can make financial decision-making incredibly difficult. The shock of bereavement can overwhelm individuals, sometimes leading them to spend an inheritance quickly to avoid painful reminders, or freeze completely out of a fear of making the wrong choice. Traditional estate planning focuses purely on the distribution of assets, often ignoring this heavy emotional toll. To truly support your family, a modern wealth transfer strategy must include a built-in psychological safety net. By implementing practical legal structures and clear communication, you can shield your loved ones from the immediate pressures of sudden wealth and give them the breathing space they need during their toughest days.

Why ‘Seeing is Believing’ is a Financial Risk in 2026

Scammers are no longer easy to spot. In 2026, artificial intelligence has fundamentally changed the nature of online investment fraud, enabling criminals to produce seamless deepfake videos of trusted public figures, build polished fake trading platforms, and even hide their activity from the social media systems designed to stop them. In response, Australia's financial regulator removed nearly 12,000 scam websites in a single year, a record, yet the threat continues to grow. Here's what you need to know to protect yourself.

Does Your Super Need a Review?

Most people assume their super will quietly take care of itself, especially as retirement approaches. But what if the default settings guiding your investments are no longer suited to the way we live today? With longer life expectancies and decades to fund after work ends, the decisions being made inside your super right now could have a bigger impact than you realise.
