Wades is a financial planning company that thinks differently about money. How? Well, we believe the truth about money is that it’s simply a means to an end. So we concentrate on that end: your aspirations, goals and family security. After we’ve established what you want to get out of life, the money part of the equation really takes care of itself. What we do OUR MANTRA It’s about people, not products. It’s about prudence, not performance. It’s about people attaining and then maintaining the life they want. It’s about families being financially secure. OUR METHODOLOGY We believe that until we really know about our clients’ lives and aspirations we have no right to talk to them about their money. That’s why our methodology is structured around them, not the market or the financial products currently available. This is exactly the opposite approach most Financial Planners adopt. Our approach has 3 key stages 1. LIFE PLANNING 2. FINANCIAL PLANNING 3. INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVICE
