What to expect from us
We at CSM are a refreshing and unashamed modern financial planning firm firmly focused on helping clients achieve their desired financial outcomes digitally.
Financial planning is both our business and our passion.
In our professional pursuit of meeting client objectives we deliver service that is second to none - take a look at our client testimonials and the industry awards we have collected - they speak for themselves.
Unlike most advisor firms we have never subscribed to the concept of running high cost offices.
Offices are all too often inefficient and wasteful of resources. In running our business from home locations we greatly reduce our operating costs which benefits clients as we do not operate under financial stress.
As many competitor firms have discovered running under such financial stress can lead to a firms collapse or worse the sale of inappropriate products and services to its clients.
For us living in the digital age we strongly believe in leveraging efficient digital resources that modern technologies provide. Our operation is therefore far more cost effective ensuring that our advisory proposition continues for decades to come.
Using digital mediums such as email - messaging and video meetings we are able to bring the human side to a digital service that offers:
How we operate
In order to provide meaningful and coherent financial plans it is essential that we have a clear and concise understanding of a clients circumstances and financial objectives.
To facilitate this we have designed our "Client Review" document (available in a wide range of file formats) to be easily completed and straightforward to gather all of your important and relevant data.
After the completion of the review document we analyse the information you provide.
Based upon your input, we design a personalised 'financial roadmap' - this may be specific to key areas of your choosing (insurances - pensions - investments) or may be a holistic plan that takes account of all of your financial planning objectives.
If there are pitfalls or opportunities that exist in your current circumstances which you are unaware of we will highlight these for you.
A financial planning relationship is no different to any other professional relationship - it requires two-way communications.
Together therefore, and on a regular basis, we review the progress of your various plans and discuss any amendments or adjustments that may be necessary taking into account any changed personal circumstances, market events, taxation and risk tolerance issues.
Throughout the entire process, and continually whilst your objectives are being sought, we remain at hand to support and guide you.
Clients are offered a choice of either fee or commission based models - further details will be provided upon request or during the initial advice process.
