Guiding you to financial freedom

Our aim is to help you accumulate and plan your wealth to achieve financial freedom in life.

Specialist advice for your current and future needs

Accounting professionals increasingly come to us for truly independent advice – we’re not tied to any bank or product provider, so our guidance is always focused on what’s best for you.

By combining that independence with a clear understanding of your financial needs and the constraints of your profession, we’re able to build a strong, collaborative partnership.

From our work with clients in similar positions, we understand you may be navigating challenges such as:

  • Growing your pension fund while working within government limits, including the tapered Annual Allowance and the reduced Lifetime Allowance

  • Managing investment restrictions that arise from the nature of your work or your firm’s policies

  • Balancing firm-wide tax planning rules with your goal of keeping your retirement savings as tax-efficient as possible

  • Making confident decisions around property, such as whether to focus on reducing mortgage debt on your main residence or on other properties you hold

Our approach

 

We start by understanding your financial situation, goals and aspirations. From there, we work with you to build a flexible long-term strategy — your lifetime financial plan — with the Lifetime Wealth Model forming the foundation of your retirement planning.

We also bring together key parts of your financial life, from creating a Tax optimisation strategy to reviewing your mortgage needs and exploring protection for you and your family. It’s all designed to give you clarity, confidence and a plan that supports you through every stage of life.

Your time is precious. And we understand how juggling your clients’ needs leaves little time for your own affairs. That’s why you’ll have access to our Private Office whenever you need it. With services designed to be the first port of call for the specific needs of high-net-worth individuals, including:

  • Dynamic cash management for superior returns
  • Bespoke insurance plans based on your circumstances
  • Personal estate planning and financial advice on wills and trusts
  • Property search and mortgage provision in the UK and internationally
  • Tailored foreign exchange offers

With our advisers available to you at any time and regular financial reviews scheduled around your work commitments, we pride ourselves on being responsive to your needs. Even as they change over time.

We aren’t affiliated to any particular group or bank. This means that we aren’t tied into promoting or selling the products offered by any one provider. Instead of only offering a ‘one size fits all’ approach, we prefer to work with you to assess your individual needs, appetite for risk and the length of time you wish to be invested.

With our Investment independence and innovation, we’re free to make the most appropriate recommendations for you. With in-depth market knowledge and unique insights we gain from our partners – leading research group ARC Research – we create a tailored portfolio with a blend of the best managers. Whether you’re looking for a high-risk, high-return strategy or something more cautious and consistent.

ABOUT US

Together, we make financial freedom simple.

As truly independent advisers, we don’t have in-house products we have to sell. And we don’t limit our advisers to specific financial solutions. Instead, we give them the freedom, knowledge and resources to recommend what’s best for each client so they can ensure the best possible outcomes.
