Step 1 – Initial Consultation

During the initial consultation, you can anticipate:

• A face-to-face meeting with one of our qualified financial advisors, either at your home or our offices.
• An opportunity to ask questions and gain a clear understanding of our services.
• A chance for us to learn about your specific financial requirements.
• A discussion of the service options available to you from our diverse menu.
• An explanation of our charges.

These meetings are provided at no cost and come with absolutely no obligation. We conduct a comprehensive assessment of your current financial situation, delving deep to understand your financial landscape. We then explore your future aspirations, whether it’s retirement, selling a business, or safeguarding capital using trusts, among other goals. We also gauge your attitude toward investment risk to ensure our advice is tailored to your unique preferences.

Payment options are often discussed during this meeting, whether it’s a fixed fee or hourly rate.

Step 2 – Review, Research, Report

We conduct a thorough evaluation of your financial circumstances to identify your financial planning needs. This includes:

• Gathering information about your existing financial arrangements and personal circumstances.
• Understanding your general needs, objectives, investment knowledge, and risk tolerance.
• Conducting a comprehensive and impartial market analysis to recommend suitable solutions based on your needs and risk preferences.
• Assessing the suitability of any existing holdings or financial products.
• Preparing and sending our recommendations to you.
• Arranging a follow-up appointment, if necessary, to explain our recommendations in detail.

We present our ideas to you in a relaxed manner, ensuring you have a full understanding of the proposals before making an informed choice.

Step 3 – Implementation

Once you’ve made your decision on how to proceed, we take care of all the necessary administrative work. Our goal is to implement the proposals in a hassle-free and timely manner. This involves:

• Handling all paperwork on your behalf.
• Providing regular updates to keep you informed of progress, when appropriate.
• Ensuring that all documents are issued in line with our recommendations.
• Confirming actions taken on your behalf in writing, when necessary.
• Establishing future contact points and dates.

Step 4 – Regular Reviews

Life, finances, and the economic landscape can change rapidly. We believe it’s essential for our clients to regularly review their financial positions, especially in the context of investments and pensions. We offer five service level propositions tailored to most people’s needs and budgets, which can be adjusted for individual clients as required.

Our ongoing review and management service includes:

• Structured reviews to provide peace of mind.
• Assessment of your current circumstances and any necessary adjustments to your plans.
