Michael Hogue
Financial Adviser & Business Owner
B.Bus, Dip FP & Certified Financial Planner Professional
Michael founded Money Over 50 Financial Advisers in 2010.
He works primarily with business owners, graziers and people approaching retirement, helping them make the transition from full-time work towards part-time work and retirement.
Michael has a particular focus on bringing the different parts of a client's financial position together: including superannuation, investments, tax, property and retirement income, so they work as one coordinated strategy.

Kylie Hatfield
Strategy Implementation & Business Owner

Kylie has been part of Money Over 50 since the beginning.
She leads much of the implementation work that happens after financial advice is provided — coordinating paperwork, providers and transactions to make sure the strategies recommended by Michael and Ali are actually put into place.
Kylie’s role is ultimately pretty simple: make the process as easy as possible for our clients.

Financial Planning & Strategy
Michael and Ali work directly with clients to understand their goals and design their financial strategy.
Naomi works alongside them on research, modelling and strategy development, helping ensure each recommendation has been properly considered before advice is presented and implemented.
Together, the planning team focuses on areas including retirement planning, superannuation, investments, tax efficiency and retirement income strategies.

Implementation & Client Experience
Kylie and Fern help turn the financial plan into action.
They coordinate paperwork and providers, follow up transactions and help clients through the implementation process so they aren't left trying to navigate everything themselves.
Straightforward financial advice. Long-term relationships.
We specialise in working with people over 50 because retirement planning involves more than simply choosing investments.
It means understanding how superannuation, tax, investments, cash flow and retirement income interact, and having a financial plan that continues to evolve as your circumstances change.
Our aim is to make those decisions easier to understand, implement the strategy properly and be there to help you manage it over the long term.
