How we work

We keep it straightforward and simple.

1  

Arrange a Lifestyle Planning Meeting

A meeting at our expense to identify where you are now, how you got to where you are now, and where you’re trying to get to in the next 5, 10 and 20 years and so on for the rest of your life; in other words, a Lifestyle Plan.

     
2  

Arrange a Financial Planning Meeting

Another meeting, again at our expense, to identify all the resources available to you now, resources that will become available in future, and most importantly resources that might have to become available to satisfy the needs of your Lifestyle Plan.

     
3  

Arrange an Implementation Meeting of your Financial Plan

If, and only if, your Financial Plan indicates that that your needs would be best served by a financial or investment product and service, it is at this point that a recommendation will be made, again at our expense. If you are happy to go ahead in full knowledge of the facts and the fees involved, we can then start to implement your Financial Plan. If you want to walk away at this point, no problem; we wish you well and it won’t have cost you anything.

     
4  

Arrange an Annual Forward Planning Meeting

Now on board as a Sutherland IFA fee-paying client, an annual meeting is held to make sure that your Lifestyle Plan and your Financial Plan are on track to meet your financial goals and objectives.

Extremely informative emails

I just wanted to thank you very much for keeping me up-to-date with your extremely informative emails on the current financial situation in these very challenging times. You must be worn out keeping abreast with the changing markets, but your emails help so much to keep calm. Needless to say, I am not watching the markets on principle and am leaving it to your very capable hands and it is much appreciated.

Excellent advice and guidance

Neil has been my financial adviser since the late 1980s and at all times I have felt more than comfortable with his advice and guidance. I firmly believe that he places all my financial interests at the forefront of any recommendation. Over the years I have followed Neil as he has changed organisations, and it is my intention to keep Neil as my financial adviser in the long term. I have no hesitation in recommending him to you.

Great service, always kept informed!

We have known Neil Sutherland for some time. When we sold our business we were looking for some advice on investments for the proceeds from the sale; we wanted a balanced and diversified portfolio. Neil was able to explain to us with absolute clarity his thoughts on our investments which have since proved to be sound. If there are changes in the financial markets, he always keeps us informed. We are very happy with the service that he has provided for us.

His skill set not always found in the adviser space!

Neil Sutherland has been my IFA for many years during which time he has taken responsibility for the management of my pension and money held in Trust for my children. His background in stockbroking provides him with a skill set not always found in the adviser space. His consideration of requirements is handled professionally and intelligently with true attention to ensuring customer understanding. I trust his integrity and have always been secure in the knowledge that Neil is constantly striving to give the best return for his clients in line with their needs

A very good understanding of financial advise

Neil has been my Financial Adviser for nearly ten years. His knowledge and understanding of financial products and markets, and the complexities of governance and the various codes of practice are all extensive. As well as having a thorough understanding of our family’s financial objectives and our attitude to risk, Neil regularly reviews and reports on our portfolio. We greatly value his advice and the fact that, being independent, he has access to a wide variety of options. I have no hesitation in recommending his services.

Why we stand out

Unless you are able to see what your financial future looks like today, how can you possibly know that the financial plan you have in place now, will fulfil your lifetime goals and ambitions.

At Sutherland IFA, we are one of the few independent financial advisers who remove this guesswork and gung ho ‘hope for the best’ attitude.

By using leading cashflow modelling software, we can avoid any unwanted financial surprises down the line.

And instead we can show you what needs to be done now, so that your tomorrow is as you imagine it will be.
