Building rewarding relationships
Our initial meeting is usually without charge, after which we provide in writing a full explanation of costs. We do nothing until we have a thorough understanding of our clients' requirements.
With that knowledge, we can identify the products that will enable our clients to achieve their goals, delivered by an entirely personal service. We then prepare and analyse recommendations, assessing benefits against cost.
Our final proposals are well-researched and constructed on the basis of what's best for our clients and nobody else. And, of course, we are prepared to work alongside our clients' accountants and solicitors.
We firmly believe in the importance of working together to build rewarding relationships, and working closely with our clients enables us to help them fulfil and achieve their objectives.
How we take care of your finances
SFA Independent Financial Advisers offer independent financial advice to individuals and businesses specifically designed around their individual circumstances.
We will help you to review your existing financial situation and reach a representative assessment of your likely needs. For this, you will need to put aside some time to talk to us - the first half hour consultation is free. There's no charge, and no obligation, whilst we assess whether it is worth going ahead.
Depending on your instructions we will then perform a 'needs analysis' built on your current situation, and taking a view of any plans or goals you may have. We will proceed to advise you on anything from a short term financial strategy to a lifetime financial plan, followed up with regular reviews.
