Facing changing circumstances

When life throws you a curveball, steady support helps you regain control.

Remain positive when life changes

There are moments in life that catch you off guard and bring everything to a halt. Bereavement, redundancy, or divorce can shift things emotionally and financially and are often the trigger for seeking financial advice.

It might be that your household income has stopped or reduced, or perhaps you’ve received an inheritance or windfall and are unsure what to do with it, especially when there’s so much else happening around you.

During these life-changing moments, you need a team to guide you down the right path, bring a sense of calm when things feel uncertain, and hold your hand as you navigate your finances.

A plan created with care

We bring a human approach to financial planning, not one that’s dictated by the numbers. Our priority is to put you at ease.

As Chartered financial planners, we’ll use cashflow planning to model different scenarios based on a range of outcomes and factors. This helps you move forward safely in the knowledge that you’ve got a clear, tangible plan working for you.

Thinking ahead at your pace

Goals might not be your top priority right now, but they are ours. We’ll sit down and have a relaxed conversation about where you see your life a year from now, before gradually widening that out to a longer time horizon.

We know it can feel difficult to think about the future in moments like these, but it’s an important step in helping us build a bespoke plan.

Turning change into opportunity

During major life changes, you may find yourself with more money than you’ve had before. What matters now is how it works for your future.

That could mean investing for long-term growth, using pensions to support your retirement, setting up trusts for children, or ticking off experiences you’ve always wanted, while ensuring the rest is structured in a way that supports your goals.

Paul and his team have been my go-to source for information and help on financial matters for a long time. Clear and straightforward, their advice helped me to make sense of a confusing raft of personal and occupational pension papers and organise them sensibly. Paul has always taken into account my needs and aims and tailored his advice to fit and has done the same for the friends and family I have recommended to him. I simply can't recommend them highly enough!

Doug Rodman has been my financial adviser for many years and he is personable and trustworthy. He has overseen my retirement planning and continues to monitor my investments on an annual basis. I am completely happy with the service that he provides, and would not hesitate to recommend him.

Doug Rodman has been my financial advisor for approximately 9 years. Without his advice, reassurance and expertise I would not have been confident that I could retire at the age of 60. During the past six years the world has experienced many difficulties and thankfully with Doug’s guidance my financial affairs have remained secure and stable. I look forward to our annual meetings and have no hesitation in recommending Doug to others in need of similar advice and reassurance.

Tim brings a pragmatic, reassuring and (critically) easy to understand approach that left me feeling confident that I had considered all my options and made good choices for my family's future.

Proactive and keen to ensure I fully understand the advice being offered. A great advisor who I would recommend without hesitation.
