How we take care of your finances

Because financial planning doesn't have to be complicated.... but it is!

Sheppard Financial Services offer independent financial advice to individuals and businesses specifically designed around their individual circumstances.

We will help you to review your existing financial situation and reach a representative assessment of your likely needs. For this, you will need to put aside some time to talk to us - the first half hour consultation is free. There's no charge, and no obligation, whilst we assess whether it is worth going ahead.

Depending on your instructions we will then perform a 'needs analysis' built on your current situation, and taking a view of any plans or goals you may have. We will proceed to advise you on anything from a short term financial strategy to a lifetime financial plan, followed up with regular reviews.

Financial Planning process

1. Getting to know you

Determine your goals for your financial future and how we can help you achieve them.

2. Information Gathering

Confirm your current situation by completing a Fact Find as well as an Investment Risk Questionnaire.

3. Research and Analysis

Assess and identify any gap in achieving your desired objectives - create an action plan.

4. Presenting your Financial Plan

Discuss and explain our recommendations in line with your Financial Objectives.

5. Implementing your Plan

Complete all necessary documentation.

6. Ongoing Review

To adapt Plan if circumstances change and/or regular monitoring to ensure plans are continuing to meet Financial Goals.

You might like to look at our Life Stages guide, which could be helpful when considering various commitments and events during the phases of your life.

We also offer a “Managed Direct Service” for those who do not require face to face advice because their needs are less complex
