Finance & Planning

WHAT WE OFFER

Being a professional athlete provides the talent we manage with a unique opportunity to set themselves up with a solid financial foundation for their life beyond sport.  Building financial literacy skills can not only help the athlete to support and achieve various money life goals, it can empower them to gain the confidence to play an active role in the management of their financial affairs. No matter what professionals they work with to assist their finance management, ultimately the athlete is the final and most important decision maker regarding their money and those decisions need to be grounded in sound financial knowledge.

Whether it be knowing how to create a budget, plan for post sporting life, manage debt, buy a car or track personal spending, education around money is key. More Than Management aims not to do it for the athlete, but to connect our talent with trusted financial professionals including accountants, mortgage brokers and financial wealth management planners who are experienced working with athletes and have extensive knowledge around their unique circumstances and needs.  They provide the appropriate support, guidance and education so our talent learn enough to ask the right questions and proactively take an interest in, and responsibility for, the state of their own finances.

MTM connected me with independent professionals to get my finances in order and support me to understand, plan and work towards my financial goals and make the most of my time earning income as an athlete. I really value the help they provide me with for all my life admin!

My tax situation isn’t a simple one, having overseas playing contract payments. The team at MTM put me in touch with an accountant who not only knows athletes, but was able to use his trusted network to ensure we were compliant with the tax systems in various countries and meeting all of our obligations.

MTM have been nothing but supportive ahead of the 2023 draft. Mel guides Shineah through balancing school with training and assists her in choosing what studies might assist her in her post football career. Whilst Alex and Charlie have travelled to SA, putting in extra effort to get to know our family face to face. This really highlights they are there for their players personally and ensures they have their best interests at heart.

Having not experienced the AFLW landscape, MTM provided incredible guidance and communication throughout the draft and beyond. Their support included navigating Mon’s year 12 schooling alongside her debut AFLW season at an interstate club, decisions about university pathways and connecting us with an accountant to get Mon’s off field structure right. We couldn’t be more grateful for their role so far in Montana’s AFLW career, both on and off the field.

Since joining MTM I’ve had some fantastic commercial opportunities that really fit with my personality which makes it easy and fun when it comes time to fulfill the contracts. From commentary work, guest speaking engagements, corporate events and marketing campaigns I’ve been able to continue to grow my brand and build my skills and network in meaningful ways across different media platforms.

Alex & Mel took the time to get to know me as a person, by building a relationship they were able to understand what was important to me in contract negotiations. This gave me great trust that my best interests were represented, as they always ensure they shape negotiations to align with my values and priorities on and off the court.

I can’t speak highly enough of the support I’ve had since joining the MTM team before the 2022 draft. No job is too small and they always make the effort to regularly check in. MTM were particularly supportive when I was juggling my final months of year 12 whilst starting my AFLW career in Sydney, guiding me toward the university course that suited me best.

Building a relationship with Alex before coming into AFLW eased my transition into an elite sporting environment. She has facilitated incredible opportunities for me in sponsorship, work and university. I would never have had those opportunities without her.
