Working with us

A simple and straightforward process designed to help you feel understood, informed, and supported from the start.

Chartered Financial Planners

Chartered Financial Planners have made a joint public commitment with the CII to deliver the highest standards of professionalism, and then placed a public badge on that commitment. The Chartered badge proudly tells you when a professional has made a public commitment to putting you first. The badge says it all.

It’s easy as one, two, three

Listen and learn

Your first meeting is about understanding you. We will talk through your circumstances, priorities, concerns, and what you want your money to make possible.

This stage is also a chance for you to understand us, ask questions, and decide whether Hansford Bell feels like the right planning partner for you. This stage is all about getting to know one another, and there is no obligation for you to work with us.

Design and deliver

Once we understand what matters, we begin shaping the advice around your goals. This may involve research, cashflow forecasting, tax planning, pensions, investments, protection, or other areas relevant to your circumstances.

We then explain our recommendations clearly, agree the next steps with you, and help put your plan in place.

Review and refine

Financial planning is not a one-off exercise. As your life changes, your plan should change with it; that means reviewing, questioning, and refining it to keep it relevant.

Through regular reviews and ongoing communication, we help you stay informed, understand what has changed, and make confident decisions as your life moves forward with your plan in tow.
