Pension & Retirement Advice
in Leamington Spa & Warwickshire
Your retirement years can be the most fulfilling of your life, but effective planning is vital. We offer bespoke financial planning and pension advice to help you achieve your retirement goals.
Your pension is the cornerstone of a successful retirement but choosing the right products can be complicated. Our pension advice will guide you through it and help you decide whether to consolidate or transfer pensions, or adapt your investment strategy so your goals stay on track.
Pensions are great for optimising your tax planning. Not only do you receive tax relief when contributing to a pension, but your money can grow tax free and is exempt from inheritance tax. We can advise on the most tax-efficient way to achieve your retirement and legacy goals.
Having a detailed retirement plan
With life expectancy increasing year-on-year and people demanding ever higher standards of living, it’s never been more important to properly plan for life after work.
A detailed retirement plan will not only give you a goal to work towards, but help you get there too by recommending the most suitable pensions and investments for your circumstances.
Your plan should include the amount of money you want to retire with each year and the age you want to stop working. With these two key factors, you can begin to calculate from your current position how much you’ll need to invest each month to make your goal a reality.
With your plan in place, we can review all your current investments to ensure they are in line with your goal and helping you get there at the right pace. If it looks like you’ll fall short, we can recommend actions such as consolidation, top ups or regular contributions to make up the difference.
Similarly, if you have concerns about reaching tax allowances such as your Annual Pension Allowance, we can help make sure you aren’t paying more tax than you need to.
Each stage of your retirement planning journey will provide opportunities and challenges. However, the need for advice and financial planning will remain imperative for building retirement wealth, drawing it and passing it on to the next generation.
We can help you to understand your own situation and your retirement goals, and we will support you each step of the way.

So how do you know which one is right for you?
Whether you’re an employer or an individual, our pension scheme advice will find the right plan for your needs.
We can advise you on the following range of schemes:
