Why

Financial planning,
done differently

Building wealth without direction or purpose means the money itself becomes the focus, rather than what it might do for you and your family. Real wealth brings security and choice, but without the right guidance, how do you know how much is enough?

For us, financial planning is always and without exception goal-driven.When the goals are clear, the choices are easy. We’ve been helping clients bring this clarity to their financial lives since 2010.

It’s personal

With a small, owner-run financial planning firm, you’re assured of continuity. We can’t promise Nick and Julia will be around forever, of course, but we’re going nowhere anytime soon. We’re a strong, well-established team, and we’re each there for you to answer any questions you may have or support you however we can.

We tell it straight

If you’re seeking someone to stroke your ego or be little more than a sounding board, you’re in the wrong place. From us, you’ll get no-nonsense advice with one goal in mind: doing what’s ultimately best for you and your loved ones. By taking the long view and ignoring fads and trends, we’ll get you closer to your goals.

We’ve got the experience

No financial professional has all the answers, but experience helps. Nick has been a professional adviser for more than 25 years, both independently and for big-name brands. That means he’s seen most scenarios you’re ever likely to encounter and can help you navigate your way through them with ease.

We keep it simple

There’s too much unnecessary jargon in financial services, and we’re here to offer an alternative. All our services are always explained in simple and relatable terms. And if you have any questions at any stage of the process, you can feel reassured that the people answering them are friendly, approachable, and down-to-earth.
