What is financial planning?
Financial planning involves establishing your goals, understanding your current financial situation and building a plan to get you to where you want to be. This isn’t just a finance plan; it’s a plan for your life. It includes everything from budgeting to saving, investing and managing tax to establishing your plans for retirement and passing on wealth.
The purpose of financial planning is to help you live the life you want while also giving you financial peace of mind.

Financial planning services Evelyn Partners offer
A full financial plan
Our experts can work with you to create a comprehensive financial plan that encompasses all your different goals and requirements, however complex your finances are. This can cover everything from retirement and estate planning to protecting your family’s finances and investing for children.
As well as giving you clarity, a full financial plan can help ensure that all your finances are working together to help you achieve your goals. This is important because actions in one area can have an impact on others, for example, there could be tax consequences.
Pensions and retirement planning
We support clients with their plans for retirement. While some have a firm idea of what they want this to look like, for others, their retirement plans are less certain. Whatever stage you’re at, our experts can work with you to develop and articulate your goals and create a strategy to help you get there.
We'll ensure you’re making the best use of pensions and other investment options, are investing in line with your goals and risk tolerance, and structuring your finances tax-efficiently. And when it comes to retiring, we’ll support you in taking an income in the most effective way.
Tax planning
Organising your finances in the most tax-efficient way is a crucial part of financial planning because it enables you to minimise the amount of tax you pay to help preserve your wealth and work towards achieving your financial goals.
Through our expertise in tax planning, we can help you structure your finances and make use of all available allowances and reliefs across everything from investing and saving for retirement to passing on an inheritance.
Financial protection
A key aspect of any financial plan is financial protection. It’s important to ask yourself, how would you or your loved ones cover your bills if you were unable to work due to injury or illness? How would they cope financially if the worst happens to you? Although many of us don’t like to think about these scenarios, it’s vital to consider your financial security.
There are a wide range of financial protection options available. We are experts in the field and will get to know you, your family and your finances in order to recommend the most appropriate option.
Investing for children
Increasing financial pressure on younger generations means that investing for children is becoming even more important. There are a number of different ways to invest for a child. The right option will depend on a number of factors such as your relationship to the child, how much risk you wish to take, how and when you want them to access the funds, how much control you want to maintain and how much you want to invest.
We can help you understand the options and invest in the way that is right for both you and the children.
Inheritance tax and estate planning
How your assets are passed on both in your lifetime and after you die can have significant tax consequences. By planning in advance, it’s possible to minimise or even eliminate an inheritance tax bill while also ensuring you retain control of your finances and don’t compromise your lifestyle.
Our financial planners are experts in estate planning and inheritance tax, and they can help you pass on your assets effectively and in line with your wishes and values.
Life-changing events
Throughout life there are events that can change our lives significantly and have a huge impact on those around us. They also have profound and often complex financial consequences. Examples include divorce or the need for long-term care.
These events are part of life. Our financial planners are hugely experienced at guiding clients through them. Drawing on their specialist skills, they can give you the advice you need, helping you to cope with the immediate impact and face the future with more certainty.
