Details of the company; LIFT-Financial

LIFT-Financial is an award winning Chartered Financial Planning firm providing comprehensive, innovative and practical fee based wealth management services for individuals and businesses.
LIFT-Financial is one of fewer than 250 Chartered practices in the UK.

We offer innovative, forward thinking fee-based solutions to our clients. Whilst we do deal in financial products, we are not paid by commission as many traditional advice businesses still are. Our clients can therefore be certain that they are receiving advice which only has their best interests at heart, without the conflict of interest that commission suggests.

Recent Industry Recognised Awards include:
· Pension Adviser of the Year, 2010
· Best Use of Technology by a Corporate Adviser
We are also shortlisted for the Financial Times Best Pension and Life Adviser of the year in the UK (results in May 2010).

For Businesses areas of assistance include:
· Employer Pension Restructure
· Employer NIC reduction
· Corporation Tax advice
· Efficient Remuneration structures for owners/directors


For Individuals areas of assistance include:
· Cashflow Analysis

Summary
I am qualified as an Advanced Financial Planner through the Chartered Institute of Insurance and a member of the Institute of Financial Planning. Please feel free to call me or email me if you ever have any questions around these or wider financial planning issues and I will be happy to provide some insight where I can.

I hope to see some of you soon at our next event.
