The scope of financial planning

What makes the role of a financial planner so interesting, is the scope of the work you will be required to undertake on behalf of clients. The work varies from day to day and so do our clients.

Some clients require help sorting out their paperwork to simplify their financial lives. Others are looking to financially plan the next thirty years of their life, based on the assets they have accumulated to date.

Whether you are seeking an informed second opinion or seeking full holistic advice, financial planning is far more than just a conversation about investments. I have detailed some of the areas below where we add value that are not as obvious as one would expect. These include:
