Engagement approach

A calm sequence from first call to written plan

Financial advice works best when both sides know what happens next. This page describes how Pillar Grove runs consultations for UK clients — whether you meet by video or at our Herzog End office.

Stages of an engagement

  1. Introductory call

    Fifteen to twenty minutes to confirm the consultation type, fee range, and whether we are the right firm for your question.

  2. Fact-find meeting

    We gather income, outgoings, pensions, wrappers, and protection details. You leave with a document checklist if anything is missing.

  3. Analysis & drafting

    We work through statements and build scenarios. You receive a written pack — not a slide deck — within the timeline quoted for that service.

  4. Clarification call

    We walk through recommendations, answer questions, and note which actions sit with you, your accountant, or a solicitor.

What we will not do

We will not pressure you into a product during the first meeting. We will not claim to replace your solicitor on wills or your accountant on filings. We will not keep you in an open-ended retainer unless you explicitly request ongoing reviews.

Where meetings happen

Video appointments suit most clients across Great Britain. In-person meetings are available at 449 N Court Street, Herzog End, Scotland, United Kingdom. Parking notes and arrival details are sent with your booking confirmation.
