Services
My expert impartial service starts with comprehensive Financial Planning.
Only then does Wealth Management begin the task of managing your money.
Financial Planning
The very first thing I do is provide every client with a Financial Life Plan that takes the first steps towards turning your goals into reality.
You will gain the peace of mind that comes from allowing me to organise your finances. I will bring clarity, objectivity, organisation and expert planning to all your financial arrangements.
I can provide clear realistic solutions to questions such as:
-
What should my financial priorities be?
-
Am I saving enough? How much is enough?
-
Will we be able to send our kids to college?
-
Can I afford to leave my job – or start a business?
-
Will we run out of money?
-
How can I earn a better return on my savings?
-
What kind of insurance do we need?
-
How should my money be invested?
-
When can I retire?
-
Is my pension any good?

I will show you how to spend efficiently, how to gift efficiently, how to make optimal retirement income choices, how to divest efficiently, and how to plan future tax-efficient wealth transfers.
