Flagship consultation

Retirement Income Planning

For people within five to ten years of leaving paid work — or already drawing pensions — we map state pension timing, private pots, and a sustainable withdrawal rhythm that matches real monthly spending.

The engagement ends with a written income plan naming assumptions, tax points, and the actions you take with your existing providers. We do not manage money on a discretionary basis.

Evidence from actual engagements

“We came with three workplace pensions and no clear sense of which to keep. The consolidation review took longer than we hoped — gathering old statements was our fault — but the keep-or-combine note finally let us stop second-guessing every letter from providers.”

Elaine M. — Pension Consolidation Review, Edinburgh area

“The retirement income map showed how our drawdown would look month by month through the bridge years before state pension. Having the assumptions written down meant we could argue with the plan rather than with each other.”

David & Helen K. — Retirement Income Planning
