Nobody wants to pay more tax than is necessary. That’s why we will conduct a full review of your current situation and identify steps to reduce the amount of tax you pay. Furthermore, when it comes to taking income from your investments, we will ensure you withdraw funds in the most tax-efficient manner.
We will take all the stress and worry out of investing, leaving you to sit back and let your money do the work. Using our financial personality assessment, we will gain an understanding of your risk profile and then make a recommendation based on this and your objectives. Our use of technology means you can track your investments daily on your phone, tablet or desktop.
Whether you are looking ahead to retirement or have already retired, we will make sure you achieve the later years that you have always dreamed of. We will first understand your specific retirement objectives, and then work with you to reach them.

It is vitally important to plan for unexpected events so that you are in safe hands should the worst happen. We will assess your individual requirements for life assurance, income protection or critical illness cover. Using our independent status, we can then access the entire market to find you the best deal on your protection.
Asking someone to help with your financial planning might seem a little daunting at first. We would recommend carrying out some research first to see whether you would benefit from financial advice. We would also advise you to put together a list of questions you should ask any prospective adviser so you can compare the service from more than one advice company.
If the advice company cannot provide a reasonable set of answers to your questions then don’t engage with them. You could also use a service such as Vouched for to see if the advisory firms suit your needs.
If you have any questions about our services, fees or any other matters, please get in touch with us. Below are a few of the common questions we are asked.

We provide a wide range of services that could be beneficial for you, depending on your circumstances. Some of these are listed below, and all form part of our overall service to you:
Step 1 – Free initial consultation
Every client benefits from a free initial consultation. This is a chance for us to get to know you and your situation to make sure we can provide you with sufficient value. You can also ask any questions you have about our process and the fees involved. Book your free initial meeting here.
Step 2 – Fact-find meeting
Following this, we will conduct a full fact-find with you. This is an important part of the process because the more we know about you, the better we can understand what you require to achieve your goals. As part of the fact-find, we will ask you to complete a Financial Personality Assessment and will take time to learn your views on Socially Responsible Investing. At this stage, we will discuss our fees and complete the necessary paperwork.
Step 3 – Current situation analysis
Once we fully understand your situation, we will analyse your current situation and any initial recommendations. All recommendations will be fully justified using reports, data, and an explanatory meeting.
Step 4 – Implementation of recommendations
If you are happy to proceed with our recommendations, we will implement them for you promptly. Should you have any reservations about our advice, we will work closely with you until you feel comfortable making any changes.
Step 5 – Monitor financial plan
We will continuously monitor your financial plan and ensure you remain on track to meet your objectives. You will receive quarterly investment reports, and we will get in touch if there is anything important to discuss. It is important that you understand that you can contact us at any stage if you require clarification or wish to inform us of changes to your situation.
Step 6 – Annual review service
Every year, we will conduct your annual review meeting. This will include analysing your investment performance, discussing any changes in your circumstances, and making any recommendations for changes to your plan. If you are at or near retirement, you will receive an Income Sustainability Review. We will ensure your spending levels remain sustainable, considering your situation.
With our fees, we offer a fair fixed fee charging structure that reflects the value we are providing. Our charges depend on your specific situation and requirements, so once we have conducted your free initial meeting, we can provide you with an individual quote.
You can choose how you pay our fees, whether directly using bank transfer or from your investments. Our preferred providers can facilitate payments to us so that you don’t need to worry about accounting for our fees in your spending budgets.
