PLANNING FOR RETIREMENT

Helping you prepare for a secure retirement

Personalised retirement plans

No two retirement planning journeys are the same. As independent financial advisers, we create tailored retirement plans based on your unique goals, lifestyle, and personal finances. Our local financial advisers in Edinburgh help ensure you're prepared for a comfortable financial future with strategies designed around your circumstances.

Income in retirement

Planning how to access your pension and investments in retirement is crucial. With our pension advice and financial planning expertise, we’ll help you develop a tax-efficient income withdrawal strategy. This ensures your money lasts as long as you need it, while reducing exposure to unnecessary tax costs through smart tax planning.

Maximising pension contributions

From workplace pensions and personal pensions to Self-Invested Personal Pensions (SIPPs), we help you make the most of available tax reliefs. Our financial planners assess your contributions to align with your retirement goals and maximise long-term pension growth. If you're considering pension transfers, we can also offer guidance on the best approach for your situation.

Inheritance planning

Retirement planning doesn't stop at the end of your life. Our financial advisers help you create strategies for passing on your wealth to future generations in a tax-efficient way. By considering inheritance tax and legacy planning, we ensure your loved ones are supported while maintaining your financial security.
