Referral Service
Case Study: Accountants - Referring your Clients to us for Investment / Retirement Advice
Reed & Davis, a firm of Chartered Accountants in the Midlands, refer their Clients to ASPL on a regular basis, primarily to provide Investment and Retirement Planning Advice.
We meet typically at their one of their offices, with one of the Partners in attendance.This takes the form of a monthly "surgery"-type arrangement, where a number of Clients can be seen, to Review their investment portfolio, or to check that their retirement planning is "on track". A Post-Meeting Report (PMR) is sent to all parties, with any Action Points highlighted, and the proposed date for the next Review, in typically 6 or 12 months' time.
The Partner invoices his Client for his time, and ASPL sets out any fees due in the PMR. All parties have a clear idea of what was covered at the meeting, and what actions, if any, are to be taken.
NB. Whilst the Client names have been changed for Client privacy purposes, these case studies are actual ASPL Client case studies.
Accountancy Services
Whilst we are able to provide basic tax services in-house, for those Clients who require tax advice or tax return completion, we are happy to refer you to one of our Chartered Accountant colleagues.
Legal Services
As part of our overall financial planning services, we may touch on areas such as Wills, Lasting Powers of Attorney and Estate Planning and Trusts, and will refer you to professional Solicitor colleagues when appropriate.
Stockbroking or Discretionary Investment Services
Once portfolios exceed £5 million, we may look to partner the investment planning and/or management with a stockbroking firm subject to our Clients’ requirements.
We are therefore happy to refer you to professional colleagues as and when required.
Business Coaching or “Mentoring” Services
We have experience of Business Consultancy and Business Mentoring services and if you would like more information, please get in touch.
Business Suppliers
From time to time Clients or professional colleagues make enquiries about “who we use” for various services (e.g. paperless office scanning services, Wrap Accounts etc). If you have any such needs, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
Reciprocal Referral Services
If you are a Chartered Accountant or Solicitor and believe that the services we offer can benefit you and/or your Clients, then we welcome such enquiries as we have a number of relationships with such firms which we have earned over the years. Please ask for Adrian Smith or Ivan Hutchings on 01676 521111.
