Understanding the financial health of your business is vital for making informed financial decisions. Yet, too many self-employed businesses fail to employ diversification or investment strategies that could protect and grow their wealth. We’ve teamed up with our independent financial advice partners, Chase de Vere, and tax experts, Taxd, for an in-person event in London that’s designed to challenge the way you think about and manage your finances.
Our expert-led sessions are specifically designed to cover all aspects of financial planning, allowing you to make the most informed decisions for your future. These specialist speakers will then be free for 1-2-1 sessions where they can answer specific questions about your finances and investment opportunities. Further online 1-2-1 sessions are available to book as well.
