We focus on understanding your 'why' before we start working on the 'how'.
At Principled Financial Planning we believe that great financial advice equips you with the resources to live life well - to do the things that are important to you and that give your life meaning.
Money isn't the end goal, but it does allow you the financial freedom to pursue the activities that provide personal satisfaction.

Financial advice that addresses your concerns has a positive impact on your financial wellbeing.
What can you expect
when you work with us?
> Conflict-free advice
The only thing we are 'selling' is a professional service.
We have no ownership or contractual links with any product manufacturers that might influence the advice we provide; and there are no incentives to recommend one product or financial instutution over another.
> It's all about YOU
Each client is unique, with different circumstances, concerns and goals. We take the time to explore WHY you are seeking financial advice and to understand what is important to you. That means listening more than talking, and asking lots of questions.
By having a good grasp of your particular needs, we can tailor our advice specifically for you. There are no generic, templated solutions.
> Not just the numbers
There is so much more to financial planning than investment recommendations and an array of numbers and graphs.
That's why we don't just look at investment returns - we focus on your goals and your progress towards them over time.
> Strategy before products
We're big on strategy. It's where we can really add value to our clients in helping them reach their wealth potential.
Financial products are usually necessary to execute the strategy, but those recmommendations come after we've mapped out the course to get you where you want to be.
> A focus on education & empowerment
We will always take the time to explain our advice and the contex for it - as often as necessary and in much detail as you need. If you don't understand the strategy and why it is being recommended, then we haven't done our job properly. Through ongoing financial coaching we can help you to take control of your finances so that you feel empowered to make financial decisions confidently.
> Clarity and simplicity
We often deal with complex scenarios, but we don't want to make your financial affairs more complicated than they need to be. We develop simple but thoughtful solutions that deliver real results, and communicate them clearly in plain English.

Ingrid listens and provides a personal approach to our ever-changing situation in our time of life. We can honestly recommend Ingrid for those who would like sound and practical financial advice.."
