About us

What we do

Welcome to South Devon Financial Planning. Our aim is to help you reach your goals with the help of a comprehensive financial plan that blends financial and lifestyle success.

Lifestyle financial planning is not about selling you financial products or investments that you don’t really understand. It is about identifying what you want from life and positioning your finances to help you achieve it.

With the uncertainty of the current economic climate I was delighted to find Charlie with his experience and expertise to advise me on my finances and the best options available at this time. He is welcoming, professional and explains things clearly without the jargon! Always available and a pleasure to talk to, updating you with regular news and relevant tips to keep you fully informed. The forecast charts he produces are really helpful and I am now feeling more at ease with my finances and what the future holds after meeting up with Charlie.

Charlie provides an outstanding service. He took the time to clearly explain and reassure us and was on-hand to walk us through even the most complex financial products. I would throughly recommend Charlie and his team at South Devon Financial Planning and will definitely continue working with them for the foreseeable future.

Who we work with

We build financial plans for those who are:

Business owners

We understand your personal and professional lives are often intertwined, so we deliver a cohesive strategy that incorporates both aspects of your life, from how you take remuneration from your business to pensions and your exit strategy.

Professionals

As a busy professional, you probably find that financial planning takes a bit of a back seat. Our job is to take the strain and give you time and confidence, back. With our help you can enjoy your life today, knowing tomorrow is planned for.

Retiring or already retired

Why work a day longer than you need to? We’ll answer your questions about what’s possible and give you clarity on how much you’ll need to live the retirement lifestyle you want, with tailored retirement planning and sophisticated cash flow modelling

Estate planning

Estate planning is about more than just writing a will. It’s about making sure your wealth will be passed on to those you want to take care of, in the most tax efficient way possible, in line with their needs and your wishes.

Celebrating our achievements

As a firm, we have achieved Chartered Financial Planners status, one of the most prestigious accolades awarded to a firm. Not only this, but Charlie also holds individual Chartered status and holds Fellowship status with the Personal Finance Society.
