Our approach
A flexible approach centred around you
Our approach is centred around four key principles
In the worlds of wealth management and financial management, automation or a one-size-fits all solution is often pushed. While there is naturally a logical order to certain aspects of both concepts, we believe in allowing each client’s unique situation to inform our process. This allows us to address our clients’ needs and priorities in the most effective way possible.
Client needs come first
We meet you wherever you are on your journey. Whether you’re only looking for ways to save more towards your personal goals or require a comprehensive financial management plan for your growing business, we start with your current priorities.
A bird’s eye view is vital
Whatever your immediate need may be, the reality is that every aspect of your finances has an impact on other aspects of your finances and life. We help you understand these connections so that your financial decisions support one another.
Staying on track requires flexibility
Life changes constantly, in planned as well as unpredictable ways. Since money matters infiltrate most aspects of life, these changes usually affect our finances in one or more ways. To remain on track with your objectives, it’s vital to adapt the way your personal and business wealth is structured and managed as things change.
Every small action makes a difference
At AYB, we believe the solution often sits in the small things that may be neglected. We know the powerful impact of the smallest efforts practised consistently. For example, if you’re unable to set aside 15% of your personal or business income, save 1%. The important thing is to start. We help you make a start – whatever position you’re in – and to become disciplined in building healthy financial habits.
How we think about financial management
While these principles apply to how we approach both personal and business wealth management, there’s an additional layer of context to how we think about and manage wealth for business clients.
Your business as an investment
The foundation of every successful business is sound, disciplined financial management. This refers to more than being business savvy or even having strong financial literary skills – it’s about treating your business as another investment in your portfolio. A profitable, sustainable business and a lucrative investment rely on the same principle:
This principle is at the heart of how we approach business wealth management: improving your cash generation capability while reducing risk to grow the value of your business over time.
More than just numbers
Growing the value of your business as an investment requires looking at all the value-adding facets of your business together, including operations, structure and taxes, to name a few. This level of financial management usually involves having a full-time financial director or manager, but for many businesses that’s unaffordable.
The good news is that when you partner with us, you can access the full range of financial management services as they apply to your business. This means we don’t just look at the numbers but also at all the motivations, decisions, structures and processes that sit behind the numbers.
