When choosing a financial adviser, you need to consider several factors.

1. What do I need from my financial adviser?
   You may require an adviser who is a specialist in a certain area.
2. How much are you looking to invest?
   Some firms have a minimum amount of investment to enable you to become a client of theirs. A good financial adviser can help you to understand what you need to invest to meet your financial objectives.
3. Positive feedback is crucial when looking for a highly rated financial adviser as this will give you peace of mind. Look at reviews, positive feedback such as testimonials and client stories.
4. Look at the structure of the firm, are they going to be around in the next 10 years? You don’t want your adviser to be retiring the year after you join them having to go through the process of looking for a new financial adviser all over again.
5. Transparency – Is the adviser open and honest with what they are charging you. Make sure the adviser explains fully what they will be charging and how you will be charged, the last thing you want are hidden fees.
6. Accreditation are they a Chartered firm, have they been given any industry awards such as the FT Adviser Top 100 status? Awards give you a great insight into how the firm is run and what its clients think of them.

This is one of the most common questions we are asked by our prospective clients looking for financial advice.

To answer this question, we take a holistic approach.

At the initial stages of working with new clients, we discuss your retirement objectives.

• What do you want to do with your life after work?
• Have you been saving for a retirement gift such as a holiday home, caravan, trip of a lifetime?
• Do you want to help your children or grandchildren financially in the future?

All these questions contribute to the advice we give and allows us to answer the question of when you can afford to retire. To discuss your retirement with one of our Chartered Advisers click here.

At Howard Wright, the key ingredient to our service is regular communication. We believe that to have a successful financial plan, regular reviews of your financial position and objectives are a must. This is to ensure you are always targeting your objectives as your financial position changes as you progress through life.

The earlier you start to plan for your future the greater your financial future will be.

After we leave school the world of finances quickly becomes part of everyday life. In most cases from the age of 18, you need to manage your own finances, credit cards, student loans, car finance alongside budgeting and learning about tax, savings & borrowing.

Once you have progressed further, the next priority is planning for the future. Therefore financial advice is so important when making life’s biggest decisions. It’s never too late to seek financial advice as getting the most out of your savings in later life is just as important as starting from a young age.
