Financial Planning Cheshire - What is Financial Planning?
What’s the first thought that pops into your head when you hear ‘financial planning’?
For most people, the first things that come to mind are:
Pensions
Investments
ISAs
Or protection policies
And while these are important, true financial planning goes much deeper than that.
At New Vision, we believe financial planning should begin not with your money, but with you. It’s about creating a life where your finances serve your ambitions, not the other way around.
What Does a Financial Planner Do?
A Financial Planner is an alternative to a traditional financial adviser. While both guide you through pensions, investments, ISAs, and protection policies, a financial planner takes a more holistic approach.
We start by asking the bigger questions:
Where are you now?
Where have you been?
Where do you want to go?
From there, we design a plan that aligns your wealth with the life you want to live, whether that’s retiring early, supporting your family, or simply enjoying more peace of mind.
The Questions We Help You Answer
Everyone faces those niggling financial questions that keep you awake at night:
How much is enough to retire with confidence?
When can I afford to leave a demanding role or change direction?
How will I know my family is financially secure if the worst happens?
These aren’t just numbers on a page. They are life questions.
A financial planner helps you explore them with clarity and confidence.

Financial Planning: Why It Matters
For many successful people in Holmes Chapel and across Cheshire, money itself isn’t the issue.
The challenge is knowing how to use it wisely so that life feels balanced, meaningful, and free of unnecessary worry.
Financial planning provides that clarity. It’s not about selling products or picking funds, it’s about helping you design a future you feel excited about.

Beyond the Basics: Tax and Legacy Planning
Financial planning isn’t reserved for the very wealthy—it’s for anyone who wants to make the most of what they have.
Key areas we help with include:
Frozen thresholds mean more families are paying higher taxes without realising it. Quilter’s article "Tax receipts surge as frozen thresholds bite with policy changes set to compound problems" explains why allowances matter more than ever and how good planning can reduce your tax bill.
Cohabiting families and those with significant estates could face unexpected bills under new rules. Quilter explores this in "Cohabiting families could face £82,000 IHT bill under new rules", highlighting why proactive inheritance tax planning is so important.
The abolition of the Lifetime Allowance has created new complexity around pension benefits and estate planning. Quilter warns of challenges in "HMRC publishes IHT on pensions draft legislation, but policy still risks an administrative minefield", showing why expert guidance is key when navigating pensions.
ISAs remain a cornerstone of tax-efficient investing, but there are pitfalls too. Quilter’s "HMRC stats show record ISA inflows but £102m lost to LISA penalties" illustrates how making the right investment choices protects your wealth and avoids costly mistakes.
