      <image:title>About us - A word from Jon</image:title>
      <image:caption>No drama, accessible expertise to help you make the very most of what you have. My experience from over 25 years has equipped me with substantial technical skills and knowledge; my approach is to understand your individual needs and priorities and create bespoke solutions for each and every client. The reason for establishing my own business was to create the service I really wanted to provide. Having my own practice means I’m not constrained by ‘typical practice’, I’m free to explore the full spectrum of possibilities to achieve the best outcomes for my clients. I am driven to provide an excellent, truly bespoke service that offers the expertise and access to the full range of suitable solutions offered by large institutions but with personal service, attention to detail, and flexibility. Planning, and specifically in response to actual or potential change in personal and professional circumstances, is often an alien, threatening or overwhelming prospect for busy people with little insight into financial products and services. I empathise and inspire trust but am also practical and focused on helping individuals to move forward. Success, for me, is seeing long-term clients realise their career transition, retirement or other longer term plans through the prudent financial planning we have put into place together. I have particular expertise working with the education sector and a background that equips me to work with individuals, employers and other entities from a range of industries. I am a member of the European Financial Planning Association - the leading professional standards setting body for financial advisors and planners in Europe - and I’m pleased to have been featured in the Telegraph and Times 'Guide To The UK’s Top Rated Financial Advisers' in 2019 for the fourth time running.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Home - Our fees</image:title>
      <image:caption>Many financial planners charge customers a percentage of their investment portfolio. This means that someone with £1,000,000 invested will pay ten times as much as someone with £100,000 invested, even if they’re receiving a broadly similar service.  We like to do things differently.   With the help of fixed, all-inclusive fees, we can offer a more transparent and fair service.  You’ll know exactly what you’re paying for: unbiased financial advice that puts your own needs above your advisor’s remuneration.</image:caption>

      <image:title>How we do it - What if?</image:title>
      <image:caption>With your financial plan in place, you’ll hopefully feel confident about your money and excited for the future. Financial planning is an ongoing and interactive process, so our work doesn’t end there. Your plan needs to be flexible, customisable, and reviewed regularly. We’ll be on hand whenever you need us, ready to answer your questions and provide reassurance and recommendations accordingly.  Your life, goals and family’s needs will change over time, which is why we’ll offer ongoing reviews to help you stay on track, avoid any unwanted surprises and reach your financial goals.</image:caption>

      <image:title>How we do it - Our fees</image:title>
      <image:caption>We believe the smartest way to charge our clients is to make our pricing as bespoke as our service.  Your history, hopes, dreams and future are unique to you alone. We need to know who you are and what you want from life to determine exactly what you need from us. With so much variation from one client to the next, it wouldn’t make sense to charge everyone the same fee.   We also don’t believe in charging you a percentage of your portfolio, making it impossible to gauge from the outset how much you’ll pay over the course of our relationship.  We’d like to have a short conversation to get to know you better first. We promise not pressure you into making a decision. All you need to do is tell us about yourself. We’ll listen, before letting you know how we can help and how much it will cost.</image:caption>
