Financial planning explained

You could be forgiven for thinking financial planning and traditional financial advice are one and the same. However, there are some important distinctions between the two; as financial planners ourselves, we want to explain how our approach differs, and how it benefits you.

We focus on you first…

Financial planning is all about putting you at the centre. We spend time getting to know you – not just your current situation but your hopes and dreams for the future, too. What is it you’d love to be able to do with your life? What does your ideal retirement look like? How far away is that from where you are now?

Many people have never asked these questions before, and it can be an eye-opening experience!

…and your money second

Only once we’ve gained a complete picture of what you’re trying to achieve do we talk about money – because your money is a means to an end, not the end itself. Your financial plan is your road map to the future; it sets out a strategy for meeting your goals and helps you understand the impact of the financial decisions you make.

It’s not about selling products or trying to shoehorn in solutions. It’s about helping you understand what you really want and setting up your finances in a way that supports it.
