8 Financial Planning

24/08/2026

Ever wondered whether your financial planner, accountant and solicitor actually talk to each other?

They should.

Some of the best financial planning outcomes we’ve seen haven’t come from finding a clever new investment or complicated strategy. They’ve come from getting the right people around the same table.

Your accountant understands your business and tax position. Your solicitor looks after the legal side. Your financial planner looks at how everything fits together with the life you’re trying to build.

When those conversations happen together, opportunities can be spotted, costly gaps can be avoided and decisions can be made with the whole picture in mind.

Our latest blog looks at what collaborative financial planning can look like in practice, including real examples of where joined-up thinking made a meaningful difference.

Where has the first half of the year gone?

I was speaking to a client recently who said something that really resonated with me:

"I feel like I've spent the last six months just keeping up."

I suspect many business owners feel exactly the same. As we head into the summer, it's worth asking yourself a few simple questions:

☀️ Am I making time for the people who matter most?
☀️ Is my business taking me where I actually want to go?
☀️ What would make the second half of the year feel like a real success?

Sometimes the best planning doesn't happen in the boardroom. It happens on a long walk, over a coffee, or during a well-earned break. I've shared a few thoughts in my latest blog about using the summer to reset, refocus and make sure your finances and your business are supporting the life you actually want.

Markets feel uncertain again. Headlines are noisy. Investors are nervous.

But the reality is, volatility isn’t the exception in investing, it’s the journey itself.

In our latest blog, Rik explores why waiting for “calm markets” may mean waiting forever, and why history repeatedly shows that long-term investors who stay invested are often rewarded.

From the dot-com crash and 2008 financial crisis to COVID-19 and the 2025 tariff shock, markets have always recovered from periods that once felt impossible to navigate.

If you’ve ever wondered whether now is “the right time” to invest, this is worth a read.
