What to expect from our financial planning service
An award-winning proposition
We’re award winning and proud of it. We’ve been recognised not just for our expertise but the quality of our client relationships and service too.
A chartered firm at the forefront of our profession
Saltus Financial Planning is a ‘Chartered’ financial planning firm. It is a recognition awarded to only a small number of firms that are at the forefront of our profession.
Achieving Chartered status means that we have met the highest standards for technical competence in the advice we provide to clients. It also demonstrates our dedication to continued professional development and shows that our clients are at the heart of everything we do.
A highly qualified team
We are specialists in financial planning and have been supporting our clients with their finances for over 20 years. Our team consists of some of the most highly qualified advisers in the country.
We’ll explore your objectives and requirements in detail, taking everything into account to create a personalised and bespoke financial plan.
A bespoke plan for you
We can create a personalised and all encompassing financial road map for our clients. Prior to investing, we can provide a clear recommendation on areas such as how much you need to save towards retirement, pension advice and consolidation, how much income you can draw from your investments, minimising your tax burden now and in the future, what return your investments need to generate to deliver your plan and how to pass on your wealth effectively.
We harness the latest technology
We harness the latest and proprietary technology to deliver our service. This might be using our bespoke cashflow modelling software to help bring your plan to life, or it could be providing an unrivalled experience through our in-house mobile app so you can easily view how your money is invested.
Effective cashflow planning, for example, has the potential to be life changing. Your assets, liabilities, regular saving plan and financial goals can be input into the modelling software. These can be overlayed with different assumptions such as expected investment growth, to help establish if you have enough money to achieve all your goals.
A wide range of award-winning investment solutions
We provide a wide range of investment management solutions so we can find the one that best meets your needs, with the aim of delivering optimal risk-adjusted returns. As a financial planning client, you’ll have access to the Saltus Asset Management team so you can have a clear understanding of their investment views.
We’ll work around you
We’ll work around you, with the ability to hold meetings via video, at your home, at your workplace, or at one of our offices

Pensions and retirement planning
Deciding when to retire is a challenging decision and can feel like a leap of faith. At Saltus, we gather information on all of your existing assets and then use our technology and expertise to show you exactly how to achieve the retirement you’re after.
Reducing your tax burden
How to structure your wealth and access income should be approached in a sophisticated way. A detailed financial plan may use pensions, ISAs, general investment accounts, offshore bonds and other tax wrappers to ensure you can draw your money in a tax-efficient manner.
Consolidating your wealth
Holding multiple investment accounts and pensions can mean they’re hard to keep track of and administer. We’ll help you overcome this by consolidating your accounts into a single plan so that you can understand your financial position with ease.
Protecting you and your assets
We protect our cars and houses without much thought yet you might be the most valuable asset in your family. Whatever your situation, we can provide advice to ensure you have the right level of insurance in place to keep your finances protected.
Passing on your wealth
Estate planning is more important than just having a Will. We’ll work closely with you to understand how estate planning, which has emotional as well as financial consequences, can impact your overall financial plan.
Significant life events
Significant life events can present great opportunities but also considerable challenges. Whether you are going through a business sale, divorce or are receiving a lump sum, we’ll help build a financial plan to meet your changing lifestyle.
