Many people believe you only need a financial adviser if you’re extremely wealthy or approaching retirement. In reality, good advice is valuable at all stages of life, and often saves far more than it costs.
Here are seven clear signs you could benefit from speaking with us at Thrive Financial Planning.
You Have Multiple Pension Pots and Don’t Know What to Do With Them
Consolidating pensions can be beneficial – but it’s not always the right move. A financial adviser can review all your pensions, explain your options, and recommend a strategy that suits your retirement goals.
- You’ve Inherited Wealth and Don’t Know How to Manage It
Receiving an inheritance can be a life-changing event but it often comes with complex tax implications. We help clients invest wisely, plan for future needs, and avoid unnecessary inheritance tax on their own estates.
- You’re Worried About Running Out of Money in Retirement
This is one of the most common fears we hear – and it’s completely valid. A proper retirement income plan can show how long your money is likely to last and what steps you can take to make it go further.
- You’re Paying Too Much Tax (and might not know it)
Whether it’s capital gains, dividend income, or pension contributions, a financial adviser can help ensure you’re using all the tax allowances available to you. From ISAs and pensions to gifting strategies and trusts.
- You Want to Help Your Children Without Jeopardising Your Own Finances
Helping family with house deposits or education is a generous goal but it should be done carefully. We help you understand what you can afford to gift (or lend) while protecting your long-term financial security.
- You’re Self-Employed or a Business Owner
If you run a business, your finances can be more complex. We work with entrepreneurs to optimise pension contributions, plan for retirement, and extract value from their companies tax-efficiently. We like to work with (and not against!) our client’s accountants too.
- You Simply Don’t Have the Time, Interest, or Confidence to “Go It Alone”
Financial planning can be time-consuming and stressful, especially with constantly changing tax rules and market volatility. If you’d rather have peace of mind and a clear plan, we are well worth speaking to.
