What our clients say about us

I was very pleased with the service I received from BlueSKY. They fully grasped and understood my financial position and what I wanted to achieve. Their recommendations were excellent. Barbara, Woodley A client of ours since 2017
Mark listened carefully to me and my goals over the years whilst we got my affairs together. This meant he could advise and reassure as I transitioned into retirement, making to right decisions for me. He counselled me as we discussed my plans and goals and how financial planning could achieve them. This means I am in control of.my money and can relax knowing where I stand, for hopefully a long time. Sally, Lymington A client of ours since 2010
The BlueSKY team deliver in a responsive, efficient way, that leaves you confident you are in safe hands. The performance to date confirms that. I’m glad I switched to BlueSKY. My only regret...that I didn’t do it sooner! Peter, Cavesham A client of ours since 2010

The questions we will help you answer

What would my loved one have wanted me to do with this money?

Should I invest it?

Should I pay off my mortgage?

Should I instead use the money for experiences?

How can I ensure as much of this inheritance is passed on to my children?

How can I protect my inheritance from tax?

Despite the circumstances, an inheritance can be a welcome and positive thing to receive. Our role as Financial Planners is to ensure you are using your inheritance in a way that is both purposeful and meaningful.

We have over 20 years’ experience in working with people who have received an inheritance to ensure they are using it wisely; moulding the capital to their financial needs, lifestyle goals and personal preferences.

Here’s what we do:

  • We take the time to get to know you and your goals for the future. We believe that getting to know you is the best way to ensure a financial plan for your inheritance has your best interests at heart.
  • We will discuss your concerns and hopes for your inheritance. We can then establish the best ways to make the money have a positive impact on you and your family in the long-term, perhaps through debt repayment or investment. Of course, we’ll also discuss any other, more immediate hopes you have: perhaps a meaningful family holiday that you know your loved one would have wanted you to experience.
  • We will also explore the best ways for your inheritance to be held tax-efficiently, ensuring more of your loved one’s legacy is yours to make the most of.
  • We will work with you on an ongoing basis, guiding you every step of the way as you navigate this change in your financial situation. As your circumstances, needs and goals change over time, you can be sure that we will work with you to keep your financial future secure.
