The Advice Process

Initial Contact

The first step in the financial advice process is for us to have a brief initial chat over the phone. This is just a discussion to see who you are, what you are aiming to do and to get a general idea of where you are currently in achieving those aims. We discuss how the process works, what we will be doing and our charges.

I will then ask you to prepare for our first meeting in which I will conduct a fact find. For example, I may ask you to have your income and outgoings and details of existing plans prepared. The benefit of doing this is that it will save time and this will enable us to focus on what you’re looking to achieve

First Meeting

I will then conduct a fact find which will allow me to gather information about your current circumstances and your future plans to ensure that the advice is suitable and tailored to your current financial situation. We can then establish your financial objectives and needs.

Research

I will then go off and research the market to find suitable recommendations for you based on the information I have gathered.

Second Meeting

I will then present the recommendations that I have formulated based on your current financial situation, affordability, your risk profile and your financial objectives/needs that I have identified. This is where fees are confirmed and I can talk you through the illustrations and answer any questions you may have.

Implementation

Once all paperwork has been completed, we can then implement the recommendations for you. We will submit the relevant applications and be in control of the whole process on your behalf. We will keep you apprised of any progress and any issues that may arise.

Ongoing service

It is important that we have regular reviews (annually ideally) to ensure that recommendations still remain suitable for you, react to any changes in your circumstances and to check that you are still on track to achieving your long term objectives.
