Who we work with

No matter where you are in your life, we can help you make the right decisions to encourage long-term financial security. Find out more about the kinds of people we work with.

Young, free and independent

As a young professional, you’re just starting to successfully build your career – and your money, too. We think there’s no better time to start thinking about the future.

Settling down

We understand that this stage in life is all about providing for and making memories with your family. We can help you make the most of this time, while also saving for the future.

Planning for retirement

We believe the key to a successful retirement is to act as soon as you can – whatever age that may be. With our support, you can have peace of mind that your future is being cared for.

In retirement

Retirement is something you’ve earned through many years of hard work – and we believe financial worries shouldn’t get in the way of enjoying this time.

Later life care

As we age, we will often need to make some changes to the way we live – and that means being financially prepared for those adjustments. We can help you and your loved ones plan for your later life needs with confidence.

Final salary pensions

Transferring away from your defined benefit/final salary pension is a big, irreversible decision that shouldn’t be taken lightly. It’s therefore necessary for you to seek independent financial advice if you’re considering this.

Meet the team

Our multi-award winning team of advisers and support staff spans the entire south coast of England. With the highest quality of knowledge and a commitment to excellent service, you’re in safe hands.

What our clients say

Want to get a sense of what we really do? Don’t just listen to us. Hear from the people that really matter – our valued clients.

I've been using the team to analyse and understand my financial position, and they've helped me and my wife to seek the best tailored financial products and services using their expert knowledge.

Peter Eales, Dorset

By meeting Nathan, and through Strategic Solutions my whole finances have been re-engineered, such that I've retired in my early to mid-50s – a situation which I never thought would happen.

Mark Roberts, Kent

We can see that thanks to Strategic Solutions, we are going to have no financial worries when we retire.

Alan & Sheena Long, Dorset

We really have developed a strong relationship with the Strategic team, and we have every confidence in them that they will be looking after our best interests.
