Efficient Financial has extensive expertise in providing pension advice.

Whether it be in planning and saving for future retirement, or determining how best to take benefits at retirement.

Pension legislation is a complicated area, deciding on the most effective way to fund for retirement, needs careful consideration and professional advice.

We are also very experienced in establishing and managing Self-Invested Personal Pensions (SIPPs), Self-Invested Executive Pensions, Small Self-Administered Pensions, Occupational Schemes and helping clients to consolidate existing pension arrangements (where appropriate) into an arrangement that can then be invested in a more cohesive way.

If you would like to review your pension arrangements,
or discuss how best to plan for retirement,
we’d be very happy to help..

In reality, funding for a comfortable standard of living in retirement is an expensive business and should be recognised as such from the outset.

In practice, most people will find that their standard of living in retirement will come from a mixed bag of which the pension pot is just one part. Other investment assets, inheritances and other factors come into consideration.

This makes planning all the more important – after all, it is too late to do anything when you reach retirement and find ….. nothing!


" Life’s tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late.”
- Benjamin Franklin
