Financial planning could be for you if any of the following scenarios apply:
What is financial planning?
In its purest form, financial planning involves thinking about you want your money to do for you, both now and in the future, and then putting every penny you earn towards these goals.
On the face of it this might appear simple but, in reality, it involves a careful tightrope walk. For example, if you want to travel as much as possible but you also want to retire early, how do you choose between the two?
This is where we can help. We will take details about your current finances and ask about what you want to achieve, both in the next few years and in the longer term. We will then use our knowledge and expertise, along with specialist software, to create a financial plan for you.
In an ideal world the first plan we create will show that all of your goals are achievable. However, it is common to find that some of your aims need to be scaled back.
If this is the case we will help you establish which of your goals are top priorities and which can be modified. We do this by talking through your options and using “what-if” scenario analysis to show you how making changes can get you closer to your ideal financial future.
Once we have agreed your plan we will put it in place for you. This might involve something simple, such as setting up a monthly savings plan, or it could involve something more complex such as long-term estate planning. In some cases we might also refer you to a specialist in another field, such as an accountant or a solicitor, to ensure your plan is well-rounded and secure.
When your plan is up and running you will have the option of attending regular meetings with your adviser to ensure everything is on track. From time to time we might suggest alterations (for example if tax rules or your circumstances change).
