But what exactly is financial planning?
Financial planning is a meticulously crafted roadmap to maximize your existing financial resources, whether it’s your salary, rental income, or other assets. It’s about strategically managing your finances to achieve your unique financial goals and objectives. As outlined by the Financial Planning Institute (FPI) of South Africa, this process involves six crucial steps that our advisers diligently follow to ensure your financial success.
