Client case studies showing real superannuation outcomes achieved by Lincoln Wealth Advisers in Adelaide

  Real client outcomes — Adelaide superannuation advice

How we've helped Adelaide residents retire with more

Every case below is a real outcome from working with Nasser Zreika at Lincoln Wealth Advisers. Names changed for privacy; figures are actual results from advice engagements.

Margaret and David, Unley

Aged 61 and 63  ·  Both employed, planning to retire at 65

Salary sacrifice + TTR

"We had no idea we were losing $14,000 a year in tax by not salary sacrificing. Nasser restructured everything in one meeting and we finally feel in control."

Margaret and David came to us with two separate super funds, no salary sacrifice arrangement, and a combined balance well below what they needed. Both were on incomes above $120,000 — paying up to 47% tax on earnings that could have been growing inside super at 15%.

Robert, Goodwood

Aged 58  ·  Self-employed tradesman, approaching preservation age

SMSF review + carry-forward

"I'd had an SMSF for years and assumed it was fine. Nasser showed me I was paying double the fees I needed to and missing out on carry-forward contributions entirely."

Robert ran his own SMSF with a balance just under $400,000. His income had been inconsistent, leaving unused carry-forward entitlements sitting unclaimed across three prior years. We also found his fund was in a high-fee default option that had quietly eroded $11,000 over four years.

Helen, Clarence Gardens

Aged 66  ·  Widowed, single homeowner, recently retired

Centrelink + pension structuring

"I was $47,000 over the Centrelink assets test and assumed I'd get nothing. Nasser restructured my finances legally and I now receive over $11,000 a year from the Age Pension."

Helen came to us three months before turning 67, worried she'd miss out on the Age Pension entirely. Her assets sat just above the homeowner single threshold — entirely by accident. A straightforward repositioning of her account-based pension drawdown timing brought her inside the threshold without touching her lifestyle.
