Our areas of expertise
-
Receiving an inheritance
It is often the case that coming into an inheritance brings as many pressures as it does benefits. As well as feeling conflicting emotions, you may find yourself bewildered by the number of financial decisions that a windfall presents. Our experienced Financial Planners will guide you through the options and ensure that your new wealth works in your best interests.
Selling your business
For successful entrepreneurs, the sale of your business can prompt mixed emotions. The genuine sense of achievement can be tempered with a feeling of loss and lack of direction. While you explore options for your next challenge, our team will help you invest the proceeds from your exit to preserve and grow your wealth.
Family upheaval
Divorce, widowhood and long-term illness are among the most devastating and stressful events in life. It can be hard to concentrate on important financial issues when you are feeling upset and bereft. Our Financial Planners can support you during these difficult times, helping you plan for a sound financial future and letting you move on with life.
Planning for life-changing events
Whether positive or negative, the stresses and challenges of coping with major life changes can leave you feeling adrift and bewildered. Our Financial Planners understand how change can affect you and know that clear processes can be very helpful in making sense of your changed world. They will take you through our planning process so that your new goals and needs are fully addressed financially. Here’s how it works.

Step One
Understanding your situation
You play the key role in the Financial Planning process; we will take the time to discuss what your current financial position is and ultimately what you want out of life. Once we fully understand you only then will we put a plan in place to set you on the path to achieve this.

Step Two
Determining what you need to do
Once we have a clear understanding of what your circumstances are, we will work with you to prepare a sensible plan that captures all your ambitions and prioritises your needs.
-
Step Three
Putting your plan into action
When we have determined how best to structure your finances to meet your objectives, we will put your plan into action and set you on the path of working towards your goals.
-
Step Four
Continually reviewing it
We will then stay beside you on your journey, making any necessary adjustments to your plan as the economic environment, your circumstances, or your goals change. It is very much an ongoing process, focused on helping you use your available resources to get what you want out of life.
