Frequently asked questions

Our FIND membership is suited to those firms who are wanting to offer strategic advice to clients on a more systemised and structured basis or firms who only have a small number of SMSF clients.

With unlimited access to The Strategy Finder our FIND members are well equipped to find those strategic opportunities within their client base.

Our BUILD membership is suited to those firms who are 'doing' firms and really want to focus on providing more strategic advice to their SMSF clients.  

With unlimited access to all tools, online training and one-on-one 'Strategy Sessions', our BUILD members have all the support to make strategy advice easy and profitable.

We don't believe in lock-in contracts.

You can upgrade, downgrade or cancel your membership at any time.

Upgrades are effective right away with a pro-rata membership applied.

Downgrades or cancellations take effect at the next renewal date.

No, we are not a legal documentation provider.  

Our member firms use their preferred documentation supplier.

At The Strategy Hub we focus on the 'front-end' of strategy advice.  Most other providers have more of an implementation focus, that is provision of documentation services which come into play once advice has been provided and the client has accepted that advice.

We focus on the identification and building of the strategic advice, what options should be considered and how should the strategy be put together to provide the best outcome.  The advice and implementation comes after that.

The team behind The Strategy Hub come from a background of accounting and financial advice.  We have 20 years experience in the SMSF space, running our own accounting and financial advice business.  We know what it takes to provide SMSF strategic advice and the many challenges that firms face every day.

Check out About Us to find out more.

We work exclusively with accounting and financial planning businesses.  

As part of our specialised services we provide SMSF Technical consulting on an ad hoc basis.  We help our Member firms with all types of SMSF technical and strategy advice for their client scenarios.

what OTHERS have to say

"Tracey is a brilliant speaker, trainer and real rubber meets the road SMSF expert. I recently used one of her training webinars to train my entire SMSF team on Limited Recourse Borrowing Arrangements. Great material, easy to understand, very practical and of course great value!"
Christian Borkowski
CEO Prime Advisory (Sydney)
"We recently charged one of our highest value pricing jobs to date and although we have had input and support from numerous mentors along our journey, Tracey Besters stands out as one of those genuine implementers who practices what she preaches. Tracey was definitely one of those that encouraged us to grow our accounting business to the next level."
