Retirement Planning
Identifying your retirement income needs and understanding your proposed spending priorities in retirement allows us to plan the utilisation of those retirement assets in the most tax-effective way and, where appropriate, the legacy of those assets protecting your family and future generations. Cash flow modelling is a tool that allows us to forecast expenditure against expected growth and this forms an integral part of our review process in retirement.
