Financial Planning Charges

We believe that a great financial plan lies at the root of all successful decision making. It will provide you with clarity, certainty and security to ensure you can achieve your goals and live the life you really want.

Financial Planning Charges

At NorthStar, we have a commitment to providing clear and simple charges for all our services. When you subscribe to our financial planning services, you will always know how much you will be charged and can be confident that you will be paying some of the most competitive rates around.

We have four financial planning services to satisfy all needs:

Core

Our basic financial planning service is perfect for those with simple financial affairs or those on a budget. Core provides exceptional financial planning without the price tag.

Prime

Our most popular service, Prime is a great choice for most people. Prime includes a great range of quality financial planning services and is suitable for people with typical planning needs.

Premier

For those with more complex finances or those with significant financial planning needs, Premier is the perfect choice. This is our premium service that delivers great results.

Access

For those who don’t need regular financial reviews, Access is the right choice. There are no monthly charges, just pay-as-you-go whenever you need financial advice.

Each service has an upfront cost followed by a monthly charge depending on the level of service required. The upfront cost covers a number of meetings we will have with you to really understand your life, your objectives and goals and your hopes for the future. Once we really know you well, we start working on a comprehensive financial plan for you as well as addressing any pressing financial needs you may have. A NorthStar financial planner will present this to you and explain and discuss the plan we have created.

Our ongoing services adapt to your needs. You will receive a full review of your financial plan on a regular basis to ensure it is kept right up-to-date. Beyond this, your NorthStar financial planner is on hand to provide you with anything you need. As your life progresses, whatever financial challenges or opportunities you encounter, your planner will be available to help you with this. Whether this involves investment planning, retirement issues, your business, planning for your older age, protecting your family or any other financial matter, we’ll help you put a plan in place to get what your really want form life.

For those that only need ad-hoc financial planning, Access is a great choice. With no upfront charges and no monthly fees, you simply pay for advice as and when you need it.
