The Employment Equality (Age) Regulations came into effect in October 2006 and has implications for Employee Benefits (e.g. Pensions, Death in Service schemes). Some confusion exists and there is concern that the message has not yet fully reached all employers.
Professional Partnerships
Today's professionals are expected to offer a much wider range of advice to their clients and provide a more comprehensive service than ever before. Accountancy and Law practices in particular are frequently asked for additional advice in relation to financial and investment issues. By working together, we can make sure your clients have all the advice they need when they need it most.
Our team working alongside yours
Being able to provide your clients with completely independent financial advice represents real opportunities for your practice. However, finding the resource needed to meet the compliance standards of the Financial Services Authority can be a costly exercise. At Becketts we offer the ideal solution. With nearly 20 years’ industry experience and dedicated teams of specialists in personal and corporate finance, we work with you at every stage, operating as an extension of your own team, to offer your clients an enhanced service.
Individual advice or group seminars
We can work one-on-one with your clients to address their specific needs and make tailored recommendations. Alternatively, we also arrange and run workshops or seminars for groups of clients with similar financial needs. These can be on any relevant subject but are usually based around a combination of subjects. We always work with you in advance to understand your clients' needs and develop exactly the right programme.
