The gold standard of advice pricing: Strategy, ethics and profit
Wednesday 8 April from 1.00 to 2.00pm AEST
This webinar explores the foundations of strategic pricing for advice businesses, moving beyond cost-plus models that undervalue intellectual property and leave profit gaps. Through real adviser case studies, Julie Matheson will examine ethical pricing aligned with the Code of Ethics and Taxation Ruling 2025/5, identify invisible revenue leaks, and address “discount guilt” in fee negotiations. Attendees will gain practical strategies to confidently reprice services, strengthen profitability and exit value, and build teams equipped with clarity, compliance and commercial confidence.
