If you’ve been bereaved

At difficult times of life, there are often complex financial decisions to be made – decisions that can have long-lasting consequences. It’s important, therefore, that you gain independent advice from a skilled financial specialist before taking any big financial decisions.

People regularly ask us

What decision should I make?

Working together, we will show you the possible outcomes of each option available to you and, alongside any legal or accountancy professionals you are working with, help you plan for the path ahead that’s right for you.

How much money do I have? And how much money will I need?

At a time of great change, it is completely understandable that you have questions about what your current financial picture looks like and how it might change going forward. Financial planning will allow you to gain a clear understanding of your immediate financial situation as well as answers to questions about what the journey ahead looks like.

Do I have enough money to...?

You may have questions about how much you can afford to spend, whether that’s relating to day-to-day living or big changes to your lifestyle such as retirement or moving home. Using cutting-edge cashflow forecasting technology, we can tell you what you can afford and how different decisions affect your ability to live comfortably.

What should I do with an inheritance?

Inheritances can be life-changing sums of money. But deciding what to do with an inheritance can feel like a big responsibility. You’ll likely have questions about what your options are and whether you should spend or invest. We always start the conversations by asking what you’d like your future to look like. That may take a bit of exploration and thought as plans you considered unreachable may now be possible.

Am I going to be ok?

Thinking about your financial future can feel scary – we understand that. Our team is compassionate and caring. And we will work, at all times, at a pace you are comfortable with. Together, we will help you move forward with a sense of security and confidence in your finances and your ability to manage them.

How can I financially protect my children?

Going through difficult life events can make you acutely aware of the financial impact death of a family member can have on loved ones. If you are keen to spare your own family any distress, we can help you build a plan to ensure that, while life isn’t always predictable, your finances are.
