FSSA Core Values
We empower our clients to make informed decisions across a range of issues. Accustomed to opening up meaningful discussions, we cut through technical-talk in favour of straight-talk. But perhaps of greatest importance, we listen. We help our clients to identify and articulate their needs for now and their objectives for the future. From there, we create truly tailored financial plans designed to achieve those goals. Our approach is transparent, responsive to individual circumstances and underpinned by our core values:
- Client-first service – ‘Drive down every driveway’ is a stock and station agents’ mantra that we have adopted as our own. Rural and remote families need priority service that includes meeting on-property or wherever it’s convenient, and always being available when our clients need us. We forge enduring relationships designed to provide genuine support.
- Choice – We make it our mission to get to know our clients and their individual circumstances in great detail. And it is this in-depth knowledge that allows us to provide appropriate options from which our clients can decide upon the best course of action.
- Community – We live in a rural community so we understand first-hand the needs and challenges of country life. We remain abreast of agricultural and climatic factors and their impact on the overall financial situation that influences the prosperity of farming and pastoral families.
- Honesty – It’s our foundation.
About You
We help multi-generational families and agri-businesses to achieve their business and lifestyle goals. We also work with individuals, couples and their extended families to offer lifelong services that are applied as appropriate at each stage of life.
It is not uncommon for Dibbo to deliver advice within the one family group that covers the needs of business owners with school-aged children as well as retirement planning for the family matriarch and patriarch. Our relationships with our clients’ families are enduring and often span many decades. This is why we are a constant and reliable resource that offers well considered and genuine guidance and advice.
