We are financial planners, not just advisers, so instead on focusing on products and marketing the latest and best investment ‘trends’, we focus on helping clients understand how their money will meet their needs, at various stages in life.
We tell people the truth about money; how much they really need! (i.e. we don’t solely focus on financial products, or play the unwinnable game of trying to chase the best or most ‘sophisticated’ investments of the month).
Our clients are typically business owners, those seeking to maximise their potential for financial independence & those near retirement. We also help clients who are fully retired or financially independent but require support with estate planning and passing on their wealth to future generations.
We begin by getting to know you and what matters most to you. From there, we assess your finances and begin to create a draft plan, which we then discuss and finalise before putting it into action. After that, we maintain regular contact to ensure everything stays on track.
We establish your life goals, personal circumstances, aspirations and concerns.
We collect all relevant personal and financial data and establish your perceived risks.
We assess your financial information, including any strengths and weaknesses, taking your goal(s) into account.
We consider strategies and meet with the client to discuss then agree upon a plan.
We provide recommendations & implement the plan, which can include items such as completing applications or moving assets.
We usually meet annually to monitor progress, keep the plan on-track, and consider any changes to circumstances.
