Fee-only Financial Planning: Unlike most other financial advisers, our fee isn't based on the amount of money you have. We offer clients the option of paying an hourly rate for advice or to agree a set fee for an agreed amount of work.
Life Plans are Financial Plans for Your Life
Since 2012, the Academy of Life Planning Limited has offered comprehensive financial planning services and personal wealth management guidance direct to hundreds of clients across a variety of sectors, online using video conferencing - with a difference!
Non-intermediating: Our clients trust us because we never sell products. There are great online investment products available to you direct - you don't need to lose a chunk of your life savings to a financial intermediary. We cut out the middlemen by offering planning, generic advice and financial education, without intermediation.
Multi-dimensional: Personal wealth is not what you have in your bank account. Our service puts the financial architecture in place to support goals in every area of your life.
Values-based: We work in a respectful and sensitive way with different values and perspectives. Our approach is people-centric, rather than money-centric, and is respectful of diversity.
You may need one-off advice on a particular topic such as retirement, or a comprehensive plan for your overall finances with ongoing support. We use the global market leading lifetime cash flow software to deliver a comprehensive personal financial plan.

"If you don't have a plan of life, you'll never have order!" - Saint Josemaria Escriva
Appeared in the media and at major conferences.
We believe that the greatest value is added for personal financial consumers through financial planning, rather than financial intermediation.
The services on offer from the Academy of Life Planning Limited are classed as generic advice and financial education. No financial products are ever sold. No personalised advice or recommendation is ever given in relation to the buying or selling of specific investments. Without exception, we do not arrange or bring about deals, make arrangements with a view to transaction, deal, or cause dematerialised instructions relating to any investment business. We do not advise borrowers about liquidation of debt. We simply offer personal financial plans.
That's how we act as fiduciaries with mass-market appeal. We always put our client's best interests first. We cater for the largest number of people possible. We cater for the 5% who have access to financial intermediaries and we cater for the 95% who have limited access to financial intermediation and remain underserved on account of holding investable assets below regulated financial intermediary thresholds (typically £100,000). We appeal to a wide variety of consumers. We represent the best interests of the general public market, consisting of consumers belonging to various age groups, wealth-segments, lifestyles and preferences.
The Academy may refer customers, with client consent, to registered and regulated financial intermediaries where appropriate. Since the firm is not a financial intermediary, or a provider of financial products, it is not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
