Who We Are
We’re here to help you plan efficiently and invest successfully
We believe that establishing a Financial Plan provides you with the framework to achieve your goals.
We pay special attention to LISTEN to you, to ask the right questions, patiently and thoughtfully, to tease out the real problem at work in any given situation.
Should you find yourself in a chronically leaking boat, energy devoted to changing vessels is likely to be more productive than energy devoted to patching leaks.
We are a fee based
firm
We will only accept work on the basis that we expect our fees to be good value for you, and that, in due course, the value will clearly be demonstrated.
We work for YOU and provide a personalised service. The benefit of our fee structure means that we do not need to promote a product from which to get paid.
If we agree that we want to work with each other, the fee structure will depend on the type and nature of the work undertaken. At all times, we will ensure that you are fully aware of any costs involved, before a commitment is made and any work done.
