Join the Octagon Expedition
A FINANCIAL JOURNEY TOGETHER
FACE THE FUTURE WITH CONFIDENCE
Your financial journey is one of life’s most important. It makes all other destinations possible. We believe no-one should set off on such a major expedition without an experienced and enthusiastic guide.
Ask any explorer and they’ll tell you the most important stage is planning. That’s why we take time to sit down with you and find out about your aspirations, your business, your family responsibilities... What do you want to achieve? What other journeys need to be taken into account? What are the practical reasons for making decisions? What are the emotional ones?

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
“Having grown our business from scratch it became vital to look at succession planning for the business.
Our previous adviser couldn’t fully understand the significance of this to us but following meetings with Octagon it became obvious that they were different.
They helped me understand my options and how my personal wealth and business wealth were linked and what I needed to do to ensure financial independence and the future that we wanted for myself and my family.
They focused on ensuring full understanding of both our objectives and emotions relating to this task, together with the hard plan of action required to achieve the outcome, being kept fully informed at all times which proved invaluable.”
