What EOFY Questions Are Clients Asking Right Now

As EOFY approaches, many Australians are heading into financial conversations feeling more cautious than usual.

Between rising living costs, living with higher-for-longer interest rates, ongoing market volatility, and global uncertainty, clients may be asking different questions this year. While tax planning and super contributions remain important, many conversations are also being shaped by financial pressure and uncertainty about what comes next.

For advisers, this may create an opportunity to provide reassurance, clarity, and ongoing communication during a particularly busy period.

“Should I Be Holding More Cash Right Now?”

With markets continuing to fluctuate, some clients may feel more comfortable holding onto cash or delaying financial decisions altogether.

Questions around emergency savings, investment confidence, finding a clearer path out of debt, and financial security may become more common as EOFY approaches, particularly among households feeling stretched by rising expenses.

“Can I Still Afford to Contribute More to Super?”

EOFY often brings renewed focus to super contributions, but many clients may also be weighing this against immediate financial pressures.

For some Australians, balancing long-term goals with day-to-day expenses has become increasingly difficult, leading to more cautious financial conversations this year.

EOFY may also prompt more conversations around tax planning and avoiding income tax bracket creep as wages rise, particularly for households trying to manage growing expenses alongside changing income levels.

“How Are Other Australians Handling Rising Costs?”

Many clients are looking for reassurance as much as financial guidance.

Budgeting concerns, lifestyle adjustments, uncertainty around future expenses, and managing cash flow rather than simply cutting costs may continue to shape client conversations throughout EOFY, particularly as cost-of-living pressures remain high.

For advisers, maintaining regular communication through blogs, newsletters, and social updates can help provide ongoing reassurance while keeping important financial conversations approachable and accessible.

“Should I Be Changing My Investment Strategy?”

Periods of uncertainty can often lead clients to question whether they should be making changes to their investment approach.

While long-term strategies remain important, many clients may simply be looking for clarity and reassurance, particularly when discussions around responding to super volatility during uncertain markets continue dominating headlines.

Keeping Communication Consistent During EOFY

EOFY can quickly become one of the busiest periods of the year for advisers, making regular communication harder to maintain.

However, timely blogs, newsletters, and educational updates can help advisers stay visible and connected while addressing the questions clients may already be asking.
