What is Financial

Planning?

#FPWUK
What is Financial Planning Week?
A week, hosted by the CISI, dedicated to
improving the nation’s financial fitness.

This campaign aims to raise awareness of


how important financial planning is to your
life. It's not just for people who have never
thought about their finances, it’s for
everyone, whatever your situation
“It doesn’t take much to get financially organised. You owe it to
yourself to get started on the right track in life. Getting expert
advice with the right sign-posting from an expert will save you
hours of your time and relieve the weight off your shoulders.
There’s a bank of qualified advisers prepared to help you and
avoid the ‘Big Mistake’. What are you waiting for? ”
