Simon Clifford MBA

Certified Financial Planner

As a Financial Planner with nearly 30 years experience, I have learned that every client is unique and each one has a vastly different set of personal financial and lifestyle goals that are important to them and their family. Whilst the outcomes are quite diverse, the financial planning journey for most people will follow a fairly similar sequence to those taken by Blair as per the image below.

Remember, a financial plan is not just about the numbers – a financial plan is about the achievement of personal goals that lead to wonderful memories.
