PLANNING
Where the possibilities start to become decisions.
By the time we meet, I will have brought together what we learned during Foundations and completed the analysis needed to explore the questions that matter.
The Planning Meeting is where we use that work to look at different paths, test the consequences and begin deciding what feels right for you.
Around 60–90 minutes. No obligation to proceed beyond this stage.

BEFORE WE MEET
Most of the groundwork is already done.
You should not need to repeat the information we covered during Foundations. I will already have used that conversation and the information in your client portal to prepare your Compass Assessment and identify the areas worth exploring.

01
Review your Compass Assessment
See the picture we have built.
Your Compass Assessment brings together where you stand, what matters to you and the areas that deserve further exploration.
Please read it before the meeting and make a note of anything you would like to question, challenge or spend more time on.

02
Think about the choices ahead
Notice what feels important.
You do not need to arrive with answers.
Simply think about the decisions or possibilities that stood out to you from the previous conversation — whether that is retirement, spending, reducing work, helping family, simplifying things or something else entirely.

Bring your questions
Nothing needs to be decided in advance.
If something feels unclear, uncomfortable or worth exploring from another angle, bring it with you.
The purpose of the meeting is to understand the options properly before deciding whether anything should change.

EXPLORE
Understand what needs attention.
We look more closely at the areas that matter most — where something feels unclear, where a decision may be approaching, or where further analysis may be useful before any recommendation is made.

DEFINE
Work out what needs answering.
By the end of the conversation, we should be clear on the questions that need further analysis, the areas that may need advice, and what the next stage of planning needs to explore.

WHAT YOU LEAVE WITH
A clearer direction.
A clearer understanding of your options
What the realistic choices are and what each one could mean for your wider financial life.
A clearer view of the trade-offs
Where decisions involve balancing income, certainty, flexibility, investment risk, tax or family priorities.
A clearer sense of what feels right
Not simply what works mathematically, but which direction fits the life you are actually trying to create.
A clear understanding of what happens next
You will know whether there is a direction worth developing into personalised recommendations and what the next stage involves.
There is still no obligation to proceed.

AFTER THE MEETING
We turn direction into advice.
If we agree that there is a clear direction worth pursuing, I will take the decisions and trade-offs explored during the Planning Meeting and turn them into a personalised Recommendation Report.
WHAT WE AGREED
The direction that best reflects your priorities and the reasons behind it.
WHAT I WILL ANALYSE
The detailed products, investments, tax implications, costs and practical considerations needed to turn that direction into suitable advice.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
We meet again for a Recommendation Meeting, where I present the advice clearly, explain the detail and answer any remaining questions before anything is implemented.
The Planning Meeting establishes the direction.

DIRECTION BEFORE ADVICE
Good decisions come from understanding the choices first.
The purpose of the Planning Meeting is not to rush towards a product or transaction.
It is to understand what your money can make possible, where the trade-offs sit and which direction best supports the life you want.
Only then do we turn that direction into personalised advice.
