It’s all about trust

At Carpenter Rees we understand that all of our clients are different and our job as your financial planner is to listen to you in order to identify your objectives and long term aspirations. Once these have been identified, we work in collaboration with you to establish a financial plan which will help you to work towards achieving the lifestyle you desire.

There are a number of reasons why you might need our help, which include:

Clarifying whether your existing investments are suitable for your needs.

Understanding your current financial position, i.e. you would like to understand what you actually have.

Understanding your pension provision and the options available to you.

Ensuring that you have adequate resources to enable you to retire.

Understanding how much capital you need to live the lifestyle you want and when in life this can be achieved.

Aiming to maximise your use of available tax allowances.

Simplifying your financial affairs, i.e. you feel that they are too complex for you to deal with and you need some help.

Ensuring your family is financially secure.

Understanding how and when you can exit your business and what value your business would need to achieve to enable this to happen.

"What I was looking for was clarity of thinking, away from the cluttered thoughts I had about my retirement. I got that and more. It really helped ease me into retirement and to think about what’s really important – living."

Who we work with

We take an honest and practical look at your individual circumstances, as well as the challenges you face. We then work in partnership with you to help you understand where you are now, where you want to be and how best to get you there.

After all, retirement is about finding contentment, and living a financially secure life. But financial planning is about trust, and ensuring that you always have enough.

Here are the typical people we help:

  • Company directors
  • Senior executives
  • Professionals
  • People who have received an inheritance
  • People approaching retirement
  • People in retirement
  • Families
  • Individuals

Client stories

Carl and Diana Riley

On financial confidence in retirement

Carl and Diana tell us how financial planning helps you gain the confidence that you can live within your means, and still supporting and caring for children, the family and the local community.

"Retirement is about feeling contentment, and feeling useful, and part of something. Being financially secure allows you to do that."

Ian Short

On life after the corporate world

Ian talks about having structured security on a defined benefit scheme, and how Carpenter Rees help him look at the big picture. By ‘stepping out of the box’, Ian was able to see what his investments were doing, and make manipulations that put him back in control of his future.

"One of the key things about getting older is to remain curious, and try new things."
