Financial planning, put back in your hands
Whether you're a financial adviser, an SMSF trustee, or simply managing your own money, SMFP gives you the same calibre of financial planning tools — calculators and guides, in plain English, at your own pace — for $99 a year.
I'm Steve Manning, and I built SMFP.
With degrees in law and commerce and over 30 years in financial services — much of it building the software advisers and planners rely on — I've worked as an authorised financial adviser, and I've brought that hands-on experience into everything SMFP does.
I also built FinChat, a voice-first planning platform for financial advisers — an Australian AI Awards finalist — so the tools you're using here are built on the same engine professionals use.
Not everyone can afford a financial adviser, and some people just need the right tools to find their way.
