01
Client Overview
To ensure a comprehensive understanding, we ask you to complete a fact-finding document online, asking about your income, expenses, assets and liabilities. Then we can focus on what really matters: Your goals, and how we can help you achieve them.
02
Initial Consultation
We provide a free consultation with no obligations to begin your journey with us. An experienced and senior adviser will walk you through our holistic approach to financial advice.
We will then get you to articulate your goals so we can determine the monetary cost of reaching them, and then recommend the best financial strategies. Once you are satisfied and comfortable, we will begin with our formal recommendations. At this point, we will involve our specialists from different areas as required, to ensure a cohesive approach across the board.
