Save with our fixed-fee advice

Financial planning should give you clarity from the start. That includes knowing what your advice will cost, why it costs that amount, and what work is being carried out on your behalf.

We take time to understand your life, family, income, expenditure, pensions, investments, goals and concerns before recommending what should happen next. Your fee reflects the planning, analysis and ongoing support required, not simply the value of your portfolio.

For your Financial MasterPlan, we quote a fixed fee before any work begins. This gives you a clear price for the detailed forecasting, tax planning, investment strategy and recommendations needed to help you see the whole picture.

If you become an ongoing client, we agree a service fee based on the value added, the complexity of your situation and the time required to keep your plan on track. For some smaller portfolios, percentage fees can be cheaper, and we will tell you if that option is more suitable.

The aim is simple: open and honest advice, clear costs, and a planning experience that helps you make confident choices. To see how those fees connect to the work we do, explore our four-stage client journey.

Why fixed fees work better

No surprises

Know exactly what you'll pay before we start. Your fee is agreed upfront and won't change.

Aligned interests

We're paid for advice quality, not asset growth. Our recommendations are never influenced by commission.

Save significantly

Most clients save tens of thousands compared to percentage fees over their lifetime.

Fair for everyone

Whether your portfolio is £500k or £3m, you pay for the service delivered - not a percentage of your wealth.

I asked for Nick's help after my husband died suddenly. Nick helped me to get my financial affairs in good order and has continued to be available to me in the eight years since. I have every faith in his advice and feel very reassured by him.

I have been advised and supported by Nick Hutchings, now with Rockwealth for several years and have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone seeking financial advice. He has always shown an understanding of my situation and finances as they have changed with time and provided supportive advice in line with these changes. He doesn't push ideas but simply offers them up and gives me the insight I need to make my decisions. Whether I move forward with them or not I never feel that I am failing myself or letting him down if that makes sense. Additionally I would be remiss if I didn't mention and thank Alex Young, Nick's colleague. His prompt, positive and simplified responses to my often inane questions really do remind me that I and my finances are in safe, competent hands.

Nick provided us an expert service and advice enabling us to purchase a care home annuity. Always open and honest I always felt confident and informed. Minor procedural issues were dealt with swiftly and satisfactorily. I would recommend Rockwealth based on my personal experience.

Rockwealth helped me arrange a Lifetime Care Annuity for my mother. Sounds so simple when put like that - the reality was that Nick's professionalism and care made the whole end-to-end process much easier and simpler than it could have been. I'm happy to recommend Rockwealth and wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

Frequently asked questions

Why do you charge fixed fees instead of percentages?

We believe financial advice should be priced based on the work involved and value delivered, not the size of your investments. Percentage fees punish success - the more your investments grow, the more you pay, even though the work required stays the same.

What's included in the Financial MasterPlan fee?

Your MasterPlan includes comprehensive analysis of your current situation, detailed cashflow modelling, tax-efficient structuring recommendations, investment strategy, retirement projections, and a clear action plan. It's your complete financial roadmap.

How much can I save with fixed fees?

A typical client with £500,000 invested paying 1% annually would pay £5,000 per year - £50,000 over a decade. Our fixed fees often represent a fraction of this, potentially saving you £30,000-£50,000 or more over time.

When might percentage fees work out cheaper?

For smaller portfolios (typically under £500,000), percentage fees may work out cheaper. We'll always be upfront about this and offer you the option if it applies to your situation.

Do you charge for the initial meeting?

No. The first meeting is always at our cost. We take time to understand your situation and goals, and determine whether we can genuinely add value before you commit to anything.

What determines which price band I fall into?

Your ongoing service fee depends on a combination of value added, complexity of your situation, and time required. We'll discuss this transparently and agree your fee before any work begins.
