Girl power: Does your power team include a financial adviser?

Girl power: Does your power team include a financial adviser?

15th March 2024

Your circle of support might include your family members, closest friends, fitness coach, therapist or childminder. These are the trusted people who support you and make your life easier and more fulfilling – but does your power team include a financial adviser?

There are many advantages to having a seasoned professional helping to keep an eye on your financial affairs – not to mention some non-financial benefits such as giving clients confidence and reassurance.

Indeed, an adviser can help to remove some of the mental load that comes with things such as planning for retirement, meeting tax deadlines, keeping on top of changing pension rules or optimising your investment performance – as well as calming any nerves that arise from global events.

They can give you back the luxury of time, as well as peace of mind and security that an expert is keeping a watchful eye on your finances – even when it’s the furthest thing from your mind!

Taking control

One reason you might not feel comfortable about seeking advice is that you don’t want to hand the power over your money to someone else. But financial advice is not about losing control – it’s about taking it! It’s collaborative – as advisers, we’re there to support you in making your own choices.

The adviser–client relationship is designed to be a long-term one, and people often find that their adviser comes to feel like a member of the family, sitting around the kitchen table as a trusted source of personalised information who knows their situation well and guides them on key decisions.

Financial advisers come from all walks of life, too – they might be a parent or have elderly relatives to care for, and will understand the challenges you face.

Growing your power team

We women are pros at juggling different responsibilities – so, if you can outsource some of the worry about money matters to a trusted expert, that’s one less thing to think about. A good financial adviser will get to know you as well as your friends do, bringing a level of tailored, specialist support you simply can’t get from anyone else in your network.

If you don’t yet have a financial adviser in your power team, now’s the time to seek one out! Speak with the Wellesley team today and let us connect you with someone who’s the perfect fit.
