Discover the Power and Flexibility of Adjustable Financial Planning Support and Empower Your Finances

 

DIY financial planning can offer several benefits, including:

  1. Cost savings: DIY financial planning allows individuals to avoid paying expensive fees to financial advisers.

  2. Control: By handling your own financial planning, you have more control over your investment decisions and can make changes as needed.

  3. Customisation: DIY financial planning allows you to tailor your financial plan to your specific goals and needs.

  4. Learning opportunity: By taking on the responsibility of financial planning, you can learn more about personal finance and become more financially literate.

  5. Flexibility: DIY financial planning gives you the flexibility to make changes to your plan as your circumstances and goals change over time.

It's important to note that DIY financial planning may not be suitable for everyone and it's important to have a basic understanding of personal finance and investing before attempting to create a financial plan on your own.

 

If you don't feel confident just yet, why not consider working with an advice-only financial planner?

Unlock Your Financial Potential with an Advice-Only Financial Planner!

Be Your Own Financial Planner

Advice-onlyFinancialPlanner.com is an ideal platform for tech-savvy, self-directed, and financially empowered people. It provides all the necessary tools for individuals to become financial planners.

 

Let Us Do The Plan For You

During stress or change, you may prefer one-to-one sessions with an expert advice-only financial planner who can provide comprehensive and holistic financial planning. You can avail of their services by the hour or for a fixed fee.

 

An advice-only financial planner is a professional who provides guidance and general recommendations on financial matters, but does not provide product specific recommendations from particular brands, or manage or execute transactions on the client's behalf.

 

They can help individuals and families create a financial plan, set goals, and make informed decisions about their money.

 

Advice-only financial planners typically begin by assessing a client's current financial situation, including income, expenses, assets, and liabilities. They then work with the client to create a personalised financial plan that takes into account the client's goals and risk tolerance. This plan may include recommendations for budgeting, saving, investing, and managing debt.

 

Advice-only financial planners can also help clients understand the different types of investments available and the pros and cons of each, including stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and property. They can also provide guidance on insurance, taxes, estate planning, and retirement.

 

One of the main benefits of working with an advice-only financial planner is that they can provide objective, unbiased advice. They are not tied to any particular products or services and are not incentivised to steer clients in a certain direction. This means that they can provide recommendations that are in the best interest of the client, rather than the financial planner.

 

Additionally, advice-only financial planners can be a good option for individuals who are comfortable managing their own investments and transactions but would like professional guidance on the decisions they make.

 

It's important to note that advice-only financial planners don't execute the plan for their clients, it's the client's responsibility to implement the recommendations and monitor their financial performance over time.

 

We believe that most people can be their own financial planner with the right support, such as training course libraries, and planning tools. But it's always good to have an expert on your side of the table to answer your questions. And in times of stress or change be able to work with an adviser you can trust on a one-to-one basis.

How Might The Academy Support Me As An Individual?

 

The idea of a favourite future should be with you for your entire life, a never-ending conversation with yourself. Constantly resetting your future requires a solid plan, combining energy, assets, and a financial plan. We call it a GAME Plan.

 

If you want your favourite future in the next few years, you need a short-term plan. The type of financial plan used by intermediaries to sell financial products is long-term. You don't need long-term investments to make short-term life changes.

 

We are advice-only. That means we do not sell financial products like ISAs, investments, pensions, mortgages. That makes our financial plans different. The most common assets in our projects are assets made by you.

 

And if you do want financial assets, you can exchange assets for them and source these direct from providers safely and comfortably. We will show you how. For us, this is a secondary requirement. We find that intermediation muddies the waters of a financial planning relationship. Our initial assumtion is you doing something for yourself with support.

 

When our clients see a range of possible futures before them, they want some help choosing the right path. They want to see a financial model before they make a material change. We call this economic model a "what-if" scenario.

 

We help our clients explore several "what-if" scenarios using HapNav (our lifetime wealth modelling app) so they can choose their favourite future with confidence.

 

We then create asset strategies to support your favourite future, such as moving from active to passive income or finding your Ikigai project. Both strategies can be used where you have insufficient savings for your retirement and have left saving too late in life for the miracle of compound interest to take effect.

Discover Your Financial Activation Score

Financial Activation relates to your ability and knowledge in managing your financial wellbeing.
 
Assessing your activation level is vital because it allows us to assess your self-management skills, identify if you need more support and tailor support to meet your individual needs.
 
Financial Activation can deliver improved outcomes, better quality services, and lower servicing costs.
 
The HapNav Financial Activation survey provides a simple, evidence-based mechanism for establishing your capacity, knowledge, skills and confidence to manage your financial well-being.
 
Individuals are more likely to make good decisions and take more action to promote their well-being if they are engaged, informed, and feel confident they can take care of themselves. Those with the skills and confidence to manage their finances experience fewer problems.
 
People who are 'more activated' are significantly more likely to adopt positive behaviours (e.g., budgeting and saving). People who are 'less activated' are at significantly greater risk of experiencing financial troubles.
 
Activation levels are changeable. With practical support, you can increase your level of Activation over time, moving you away from being less engaged with your finances to a collaborative relationship where you are an 'active' partner in your financial well-being.
 
With 95% of the population underserved by the financial planning community because of their limited wealth, it makes sense to explore ways to increase Financial Activation levels in our communities and help others be their financial planners.
