Because your farm’s future is a family matter.
The farm took a lifetime to build. Succession is how you protect it. We work with farming families across Australia to plan the next chapter, together, with everyone at the table.
You know it's time. You don't know where to start.
That’s how almost every farming family we work with begins. Not because they don’t care about the farm. Because the conversation is too big to start alone.
We built Lifesolver to fix that.
The Farm Transition Blueprint
A four-month structured process.
The Blueprint is our flagship program.
It covers the family conversation, the business structure, the financial plan, and the tax and legal implications. All in one process.
No fragmented advice. No conflicting opinions.
One clear path from where you are now to a plan everyone has signed off on.
Independent facilitation
We lead the conversation, so the family doesn't have to do it alone. You don't need to be the peacekeeper. You don't need to carry the emotional weight on your own.
Financial plan, tax and accounting thinking built in
Retirement income. Superannuation. CGT. Trust restructuring. Estate planning. All considered in one process, with clear next steps for the advisers who implement the plan.
A practical, implementable plan
You leave with a documented plan everyone has signed off on. Clear next steps. Real actions. Not another conversation to schedule.
The only firm in Australia with everything under one roof.
Most farming families dealing with succession will end up working with an accountant, a financial planner, a lawyer, a rural consultant, or a coach. Each covers a part of the problem. None cover all of it.
Lifesolver is built differently. Five things sit under one roof:
1. Farm specialisation
Our team has lived, studied and worked in agriculture.
Advice built for farming families. Not adapted from generic business frameworks.
2. Licensed financial advice
We provide advice under an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL). That means we can give you full financial advice on retirement, super, insurance and estate planning.
Most farm consultants and coaches can't. They have to refer you elsewhere.
3. A structured program
The Farm Transition Blueprint is a defined four-month process.
Families know exactly what they’re getting, and what the outcome will be.
4. Tax and accounting within the Group
Succession involves CGT, trust restructuring and inter-entity transfers.
These are considered from the start, and delivered through the Advisory Partner Group, so nothing falls between firms.
5. On-the-ground regional presence
Offices in Armidale, Brisbane, Canberra, Rockhampton, Childers and Beaudesert.
We understand regional markets, lender relationships, and local family dynamics.
Meet Matt. 30+ years working with farming families.
Matt is a Chartered Accountant and Certified Financial Planner. He’s spent 30+ years working with farming families across Australia, and grew up between the city and the country with hands-on farming and grazing experience along the way.
Over those 30 years he kept seeing the same problem: farming families with significant assets, deep pride in what they’d built, and no clear path through succession.
He built Lifesolver to fix that. Today the firm works with farming families across Australia, helping them protect what they’ve built and keep the family strong through one of the biggest decisions they’ll ever make.
Lifesolver is now part of the Advisory Partner Group, to bring this advice to every farming family in Australia who needs it.
