What is financial planning?
Financial planning is a very personal matter. It involves a professional service for clients who need objective assistance in organizing their personal affairs so as to more readily achieve their financial and lifestyle goals. It means helping people make up their minds what they want to do and where they want to get to.
It requires careful exploration of attitudes to risk, and close attention as needs and objectives change and as tax, regulation, and investment and financial markets also change.
It involves working with a family’s other professional advisers to achieve these ends.
It results in trusting, long term relationships with individuals and their families.
It is as much about preserving wealth as merely managing it.
