Our Process

Our Process

It’s not only important to us that we provide advice appropriate to your needs – it’s the law!

The law requires that any personal advice you receive from Jade FG, must be appropriate to your circumstances. Of course it’s your right not to tell us personal information however, if you don’t, the advice you receive may not be appropriate to your personal needs and your individual financial situation. When we meet we will take you through a 7-step process:

Step 1
Initial Consultation
A Meet & Greet, or initial consultation that allows us to get to know each other and decide if we are a good fit.
Step 1
Step 2
Gather Data
We will collect all the information we need from you (sometimes called ‘fact finding’).
Step 2
Step 3
Identify your goals
We will help you identify your goals and current financial position. We normally do this at the same time as the ‘fact find’. We will consider the 7 building blocks or strategies (e.g. tax, social security, estate planning etc.), then develop and present you with a strategy.
Step 3
Step 4
Statement of Advice
If you are happy with the strategy presented we will then present you with a written recommendation in a financial plan. This is called a Statement of Advice (SOA).
Step 4
Step 5
Discuss the Recommendations
