We recognise that not everybody needs the services of an IFA and some of those that do have a fairly limited need; perhaps little more than a nudge in the right direction and some reassurance. For others, the services of a good IFA are an essential part of life; they have better things to do than taking the time or the sole responsibility for looking after their savings and investments personally, or going it alone at times in life when the right decisions can make such a huge impact on their prosperity and peace of mind. This is not an issue that centres around how wealthy an individual is; some, for instance, although financially comfortable, find that their money is a constant worry to them.
Our approach is to start with a face to face meeting. This is an opportunity for you to meet us, but also to explain in detail your plans, circumstances and what you are looking to achieve from seeking financial advice. We are conscious that financial advice should be all about helping you to meet your objectives. We want you to get the most you can from the process and so we spend time understanding what you are looking to achieve.
At the end of the initial meeting, we will explain how we can help, and will provide a proposal of what work should be completed, the timescale you can expect, and the likely cost.
