What our clients say
Financial planning Reading FAQs
What is included in a Financial MasterPlan?
Your Financial MasterPlan brings together cashflow forecasting, pension planning, investment strategy, tax allowances, estate considerations and clear recommendations. The aim is to show where you are, where you want to get to, and what needs to happen next. Before acting on regulated recommendations, you can also check firms on the FCA Financial Services Register.
How much does financial planning cost?
We use transparent fixed fees agreed upfront. Initial discovery is at our cost. Your Financial MasterPlan starts from £2,000, implementation starts from £2,000, and ongoing support starts from £3,750 per year depending on complexity.
How long does the financial planning process take?
Most clients move from initial discovery to a completed Financial MasterPlan over several weeks. Timing depends on how complex your pensions, investments, tax position and family circumstances are.
What if my circumstances change?
Financial planning should adapt as life changes. We review your plan when circumstances shift, such as retirement, inheritance, selling a business, changes in income, family changes or market volatility.
Do you offer ongoing financial planning support?
Yes. Ongoing support includes regular reviews, updates to your plan, investment monitoring, tax-year planning and coaching around important financial decisions.
