Financial Planning helps you determine your short and long-term financial goals, as well as create a balanced plan to meet those goals. It helps you not only to identify the key responsibilities you feel you have to yourself and family in managing your finances, but also helps in understanding the timing, detail and the importance of each element of earning and protecting money – whilst also enjoying it too. Typically, the plan will encapsulate how to make the best use of your income and the cashflow and capital associated with it, all of which will affect the security of your family and, assuming the assumptions in the plan are borne out, the standard of living they can expect.

It would also highlight investments and savings opportunities, providing you with a sound understanding of your financial position and what could be achieved in relation to your wealth level.

Fact-finding

Together we need to prioritise your financial life according to your goals and aspirations. This will include details on Health, Lifestyle, Assets & Liabilities as well as Income & Expenditure so that we can accurately and realistically advise how you can achieve your goals.

Analyse & Plan

We analyse your answers and recommend a plan to help you reach your expectations and goals, so that you make decisions as rationally as possible and determine the order of your major life steps. The agreed plan can then be implemented…until the next review.

Ongoing

Financial Planning is a long game! We will provide regular reviews to help identify what’s working for you, and what is not, because things can change rapidly! Your plan will be a living, breathing and moving guide, and we’ll share the journey!

With Careful Thinking, we can plan your designs and plot your course together
