Personal Financial Planning
Life is full of surprises – it’s what keeps things interesting. However, when it comes to your finances we believe it’s better to have a plan in place for all those what-ifs.
Our personal financial planning service not only helps you to prepare for all of life’s big events from retirement to weddings, but also everything unexpected in-between.
Whatever your financial goals in life may be, we’ll join you on your journey to make sure you stay on track to achieving those goals.
Our approach to proper financial planning
Goal Development
The first step is to help you to create your vision for the future. All of our Financial Planners are ‘Goal Development Experts’ and will help you to identify and develop your goals, ensuring they are specific, challenging, appropriate and realistic.
Information Gathering
Next, we need to find out what you currently have in place and what your financial situation is. We’ll do all the running around, by contacting the necessary companies, all we need from you is some basic details on each of your financial holdings.
Analysis
How does where you are today compare to where you want to be? A detailed cashflow forecast will be produced identifying where you stand in relation to where you would like to be. We’ll even be able to produce a ‘what-if’ scenario, or two.
Develop Your Plan
We’ll develop a strategy specifically designed to help you achieve your goals. Your written plan will be thorough and will include recommendations that are as tax efficient as possible.
Implement Your Plan
At this point, we can facilitate the implementation of the recommendations we’ve made. Most of our clients accept our offer of assistance here as they recognise the value & benefits of financial planning and with an expert on hand to help you stay on track, you’re far more likely to achieve your objectives.
Monitor Progress
Things change, in your circumstances, in tax laws, even your priorities & objectives can change. Adapting to these changes is key to remaining on track to achieving your goals. We will review your plan every year and as and as-needed if a significant event occurs such as a change of job or the receipt of an inheritance.
