When life is busy and time is precious, money can be the last thing you want to think about. But clever financial planning can bring huge benefits and positive changes in your life. It’s time to get your money working for you.

At Herbert Scott we believe in helping you achieve financial freedom and peace of mind, so you can get on with enjoying every day knowing your finances are taken care of.

Click on each of the four interlinked aspects of our service to find out more.

Relationship

It starts with building a relationship. We take time to get to know each other. After all, you are not buying something, you are teaming up with an adviser for the long-term.

We have learned that only by exploring your feelings about money and enabling you to open up and discuss the life that you want for you and your family, will we really be able to deliver work that is truly valued. Therefore, we put our relationship at the centre of everything we do, and this is what we believe sets Herbert Scott apart from other financial planning firms.

Building strong relationships also helps us support you through more difficult times when, for example, markets are weak, or life takes an unexpected turn.

Planning

What are your lifestyle aspirations? How do you know if you are on track? We will work together to build a meaningful, dynamic plan. Having a plan means having the power to transform your life.

Imagine being able to understand, precisely and at-a-glance, how each financial decision you make will affect your life for years to come.

Our bespoke financial planning service empowers you to explore the options and make an informed decision about which strategy to follow.  Using the latest cashflow technology our conversations are turned into a dynamic process during which a range of scenarios can be explored, letting you see the different outcomes.  When can I retire? How much can I spend on dream trips overseas? Can I afford to give money to my children? These questions, and many more, can be addressed and do not need to feel daunting.

This part of our work is an empowering process which lies at the heart of our service and feeds into our investment discussions. We will calculate the optimum level of return you need from your investments to achieve your lifetime goals, and blend this with your feelings about investment risk, to agree on the most suitable portfolio for you.
