OUR STORY
Your Trusted Consulting Partner
As a Chartered Financial Planner, I have the experience of building strong and long lasting relationships both with clients and professional connections.
Having operated in both micro and large corporate financial planning firms, we understand the pressures and issues which face a business owner in a hugely regulated sector.
We began to build out our proposition essentially from 2006 and the RDR legislation and have refined the offering with the advent of MiFid II and Target Markets.
Consumer Duty encapsulates all the key aspects of governance and culture that we can bring to those firms who need our help and guidance.
Today, we continue to provide enhanced consulting services, helping a financial planning practice to navigate the regulatory challenges and seize opportunities to build value.
WHY WORK WITH US?
We understand the key issues facing financial planning firms and we can help
Providing your firm with the systems and controls
We can review the process from start to finish of onboarding and managing a client. The service proposition must be consistent and offer value for money; the CIP and CRP and Target Markets must be clearly defined.
Consumer Duty
The FCA expects a firm to have an independent overseer and ideally a Non Executive Director to ensure the Consumer Duty rules are adhered to. The significance of culture within a firm is huge and clearly needs to be demonstrated and evidenced.
Business Development
We have a strong track record of success in helping businesses build commercial relationships with other professional firms.. We are committed to achieving tangible outcomes for our clients.
UNIQUE APPROACH
Governance not Compliance
We pride ourselves on understanding the needs of a small financial planning business.
We have a network of industry specialists and experts who can help you build out tailored systems and controls. These in turn reflect the client profiles of the firm and to ensure your proposition is in line to achieve the appropriate outcomes.
Over-arching all of this is the adherence to the ethics of Consumer Duty and the use of both quantitive and qualitative management information.
Our team embraces creativity and originality to deliver results that exceed expectations. With our commitment to constant improvement, we continuously refine our approaches to stay ahead in the ever-evolving consulting industry.
