Retirement Planning Services
Comprehensive pension guidance tailored to your financial goals
Every retirement journey is different. Our services are designed to address the specific challenges you face, whether you're decades away from retirement or preparing to access your pension in the coming months.
Comprehensive Pension Review
£595
A thorough analysis of your existing pension arrangements, including workplace pensions, personal pensions, and any defined benefit schemes. We examine your current contributions, investment performance, fees, and projected retirement income.
This review provides a clear picture of where you stand and identifies opportunities to improve your retirement prospects.
Pension Consolidation Planning
£895
Many people accumulate multiple pension pots throughout their working life. We analyse whether consolidating these into a single arrangement makes sense for your situation.
Our service includes detailed comparison of charges, investment options, benefits, and potential exit penalties to help you make an informed decision.
Retirement Income Strategy
£1,195
Converting your pension savings into retirement income requires careful planning. We help you understand your options including annuities, drawdown, and tax-free cash decisions.
This service creates a sustainable income strategy that balances your lifestyle needs with long-term financial security.
Tax-Efficient Pension Planning
£795
Minimise unnecessary tax on your pension contributions and withdrawals. We identify opportunities to use tax reliefs effectively and structure your pension access to reduce tax liability.
This includes analysis of annual allowances, lifetime allowances, and strategies for managing income tax in retirement.
Workplace Pension Optimisation
£495
Ensure you're making the most of your employer's pension scheme. We review your contribution levels, investment choices, and employer matching to maximise your retirement savings.
Particularly valuable for those who've been automatically enrolled and haven't reviewed their pension settings since joining.
Defined Benefit Pension Analysis
£1,495
Specialist advice for those with final salary or career average pensions. We help you understand the value of your defined benefit pension and whether transferring to a personal arrangement is appropriate.
This complex decision requires careful analysis of guaranteed income, transfer values, flexibility needs, and personal circumstances.
Ongoing Retirement Support
£395 per year
Annual reviews to ensure your retirement plan remains on track. We monitor your pension performance, adjust strategies as circumstances change, and keep you informed of relevant legislative changes.
Includes unlimited email support and priority scheduling for consultations throughout the year.
Early Retirement Planning
£995
Explore whether retiring before State Pension age is financially viable. We model different retirement dates, calculate required income, and identify potential funding gaps.
This service helps you understand what's realistic and what steps might enable earlier retirement.

Service Questions
Most services are completed within two to three weeks from your initial consultation. More complex analyses, particularly those involving defined benefit pensions, may take slightly longer to ensure thoroughness.
Absolutely. Many clients benefit from combining services, such as a Comprehensive Pension Review followed by Pension Consolidation Planning. We can create a package that addresses all your needs and often offer better value when combining related services.
That's completely normal. Contact us for an initial discussion where we'll learn about your situation and recommend the most appropriate service. There's no obligation, and this conversation helps ensure you invest in exactly what you need.
No. Each service is charged as a one-time fee covering all work involved. The only ongoing fee is if you choose our annual Ongoing Retirement Support service, which is entirely optional.
No. We operate on a fee-only basis with no commissions from pension providers or product sales. This ensures our advice is completely independent and focused solely on your best interests.
Our recommendations are exactly that: recommendations. You're under no obligation to follow our advice. We explain our reasoning clearly so you can make an informed decision about what's right for you.
