What is financial planning and what are the benefits of it?

20/12/2023 By O'Donovan Keyes & Barrett

Financial Planning is a process of setting financial goals and creating a strategy to achieve them. It involves assessing your current financial situation, identifying your short-term and long-term goals and developing a plan to help you achieve those goals. Financial Planning can cover a wide range of topics, including budgeting, saving, investing, managing debt, retirement planning and protecting against financial risks. The process also includes monitoring your progress and adjusting your plan as required.

Many people worry about having enough money put away for a rainy day, what would happen if they were unable to work, how their family might manage if something happened to them or how they will fund their retirement. These serious concerns can be addressed by taking professional financial advice and putting a financial plan in place. By doing this you can ensure you are utilising your financial resources and protecting the financial security of your family and you.

Financial planning is a holistic approach to managing your money which can assist you in taking control of your finances and being better prepared for the future.
