ANNUAL REVIEW SERVICES FOR FINANCIAL ADVISERS

Full annual review service.
Or report-only conversion.

Both with a branded, interactive digital report.

We prepare your annual review, including the agreed research, paraplanning and documentation. Or supply your completed annual review as a Word document or PDF for conversion into a branded, interactive digital report, using the template agreed with your firm.

Full service from £200 · Report-only from £70 ↓
TWO SERVICES. A DEFINED SCOPE.

Full review preparation.
Or the report alone.

Choose the work you need. Both services use an agreed template and require a minimum monthly volume, agreed with your firm before starting.

01PREPARATION & PARAPLANNING

Full annual
review service

From£200per standard annual review · without video

Preparation of the annual review from your supplied client information, review notes and existing arrangements. Includes the agreed research, paraplanning and documentation for your approval.

  • Review of the supplied circumstances, objectives and arrangements
  • Research and paraplanning within the agreed case scope
  • Annual review wording and findings for adviser approval
  • A branded, interactive HTML client report
  • An editable Word version with the same written content and figures
Word and HTML contain the same review content.

The Word copy uses a conventional document layout. It will not look the same as the HTML report; interactive displays and video are presented differently.

02YOUR COMPLETED REVIEW, IN HTML

Report-only
service

From£70per basic annual report conversion · without video

Send your completed annual review as a Word document or PDF, together with the supporting figures. We turn the approved content into a branded HTML report with clear sections, interactive portfolio displays and your supporting explanations.

  • Conversion of your completed Word or PDF annual review
  • Values and wording checked against the supplied source
  • Agreed charts, tables and navigation
  • Your firm’s branding and relevant contact links
  • A review version for your approval before client use
Your advice and wording remain the source.

New research, advice drafting and a fresh suitability assessment are outside the standard conversion service.

APPLIES TO BOTH SERVICES

An agreed template.
A regular monthly volume.

Both services are based on repeat cases using the report template and input format agreed with your firm.

01 / CONSISTENT FORMAT

The same agreed template for each case

Each case follows the agreed report structure and submission format. Client-specific information, figures, findings and wording are completed within that template.

02 / CHANGES BY AGREEMENT

Bespoke work is charged separately

Bespoke reports, alternative layouts or work outside the agreed format are excluded from the standard service. These must be agreed before work starts and incur additional charges.

03 / MONTHLY COMMITMENT

A minimum volume agreed with your firm

A minimum number of cases per month applies to both services. We agree that commitment with your firm before starting, alongside the template, scope and fee.

OPTIONAL REPORT ADDITIONS

Additional detail. Agreed fees.

These additions sit outside the standard £200 full-service and £70 report-only starting prices.

01 / ADDITIONAL COST

Cash-flow reporting

Quoted separately

Cash-flow sections, updates and supplied projections are optional and carry an additional fee. We agree the coverage, source material and cost before starting, whether or not you include video.

02 / ADDITIONAL COST

Detailed fund data

Quoted separately

Detailed fund performance data and additional analysis carry an additional fee. Basic portfolio tables, including percentage holdings, remain included at no extra cost.

If you choose both, both additional charges apply. Any optional video charge is added separately. Your agreed quotation sets out each item.

+

Optional adviser video +£25

For a standard-size supplied video file. The file-size allowance and any additional requirements are agreed before work starts. Larger files or additional production are quoted separately.

Optional on either service

Starting prices apply to cases within the agreed template and monthly-volume commitment. More extensive research, complex cases and advanced or additional report features are scoped and priced before production.

Advice, accuracy & final approval.

We provide research, paraplanning and report preparation to your firm; we do not give financial advice to your clients. Your firm retains responsibility for the advice, suitability and recommendations.

The responsible adviser must check the complete report, including figures, assumptions, wording and supporting information, and approve the exact final version before it is issued. Any errors or omissions must be raised and corrected before client use.

We do not accept responsibility for your firm’s advice or for report errors arising from inaccurate or incomplete information supplied to us. Our preparation and conversion work remains subject to the agreed service terms.

INSIDE THE INTERACTIVE REPORT

A portfolio
clients can explore.

The display below is the portfolio section of an annual review report — only part of the complete report. Explore the holdings, current and proposed allocations, fund data and charges, then open the full example to view the other review sections.

PORTFOLIO SECTION ONLY · OPEN THE EXAMPLE FOR THE COMPLETE ANNUAL REVIEW

Choose the level of fund detail.

Basic portfolio tables, including percentage holdings, are included at no extra cost. Detailed fund performance data and additional analysis increase the cost and are quoted to the agreed scope. This example demonstrates the detailed fund-data option. Cash-flow reporting is also an optional, separately charged addition.

Illustrative screen layout · not a live forecast · no recording supplied
OPTIONAL VIDEO & SCREEN RECORDINGS

Your explanation.
Beside the report.

Include an introduction from the adviser, a discussion of the portfolio or a narrated screen recording of the cash-flow plan. Place the recording in the relevant section, with the surrounding figures and explanation.

  • A short adviser introduction to the annual review
  • A recorded explanation of the portfolio or recommendations
  • A cash-flow screen recording with the adviser’s audio, where cash flow is relevant
  • Captions and a readable transcript where supplied and agreed

Adding a standard-size supplied video file costs £25 extra. Video recording or editing requirements are agreed separately. Cash-flow reporting has its own additional fee; adding a video does not include preparation of the cash-flow section.

A complete review can use written explanations, charts and tables throughout. It does not need video.

YOUR SCOPE. YOUR WORDING.

Include what
the review requires.

We agree the report template with your firm, including the topics, level of detail and section structure. Each case then uses that format, with the relevant client-specific wording and figures.

For the full service, we draft within the agreed template and brief. For report-only work, your completed Word document or PDF supplies the content in the agreed format. Bespoke structures or template changes require prior agreement and an additional fee.

Cash flow is optional.
Video is optional.

Cash-flow reporting is quoted separately. Adding a standard-size supplied video file costs £25 extra. If you choose both, both charges apply.

01

Circumstances & objectives

Relevant changes since the last review, updated priorities and the client’s existing financial objectives.

02

Portfolio & existing arrangements

Pensions, investments, account values, holdings, asset allocation and the supporting research required for the review.

03

Risk & continuing suitability

The agreed risk profile, capacity for loss and the adviser’s assessment of the continuing suitability of the arrangements.

04

Performance & charges

Supplied performance information and appropriate comparisons, alongside the costs and calculation basis.

05

Cash-flow reporting — optional, additional fee

Add updated projections, assumptions or supplied scenarios where relevant. Cash-flow reporting is outside the standard fee and is quoted separately, with charts and written commentary available without video.

06

Findings, recommendations & follow-up

The review conclusions, matters requiring discussion, any recommendations and the agreed further work.

INCLUDED WITH THE FULL SERVICE

The review in HTML.
A Word copy too.

The full annual review service includes an editable Word document containing the same written content and figures as the HTML report.

It uses a conventional document layout. Interactive charts are represented as static information, and video or online resources can be referenced by links. The two versions contain the same review material, presented for different uses.

HOW CLIENTS RECEIVE THE REPORT

Agree the delivery
with your firm.

An HTML report is opened in a browser. We agree the hosting, access and handover arrangements before client use.

01 / HOSTED REPORT
↗

Our secure website

Your client opens their report on our secure website, using the access arrangements agreed with your firm.

Client hosting, access controls, storage and retention must be configured and verified before this delivery service goes live.
02 / YOUR EXISTING ARRANGEMENTS
⌘

Your website or portal

Receive the report package for a compatible website or client portal managed by your firm or its provider.

We confirm the platform can display the report and apply your intended client access controls.
03 / FILE HANDOVER
↓

A downloadable folder

Receive the HTML report with its supporting assets and opening instructions, prepared for the agreed delivery environment.

Offline use is checked for the agreed package. External links, bookings and some media may require internet access.

We agree permitted transfer, storage, access and retention arrangements before receiving identifiable client material.

CONFIDENTIALITY & DATA PROTECTION

Protecting your clients’
information.

Client information is confidential. Before work starts, we agree how it will be transferred, who may access it, where it will be stored and when it will be returned or deleted.

01 / TRANSFER & ACCESS

Secure transfer. Restricted access.

Agree an encrypted transfer route, access limited to those who need it and multi-factor authentication for accounts holding client material. Client files are kept separate from this public website.

02 / MINIMUM NECESSARY DATA

Keep identifiable information to a minimum.

Use case references and remove unnecessary identifiers where the work allows. Anonymisation is to be carried out locally, with checks before any material leaves that environment. Identifiable files are not to be uploaded to public AI tools.

03 / RETENTION & DELETION

A defined end to each case.

Agree the retention period, return or deletion of working files, and treatment of backups. Keep the approved report and case records only for the agreed purpose and period, subject to applicable requirements.

04 / DOCUMENTED RESPONSIBILITIES

Agree the data-handling terms.

Document each firm’s instructions, confidentiality obligations, approved service providers and how incidents or access requests are handled. Hosting and any international transfers are assessed before use.

Configured and checked before client work begins.

These arrangements must be verified before identifiable client files are accepted. The report on this website is an example using fictional client figures. This website does not provide a client-file upload facility.

PRACTICAL DETAILS

Before
we begin.

Do both services use an agreed template?+

Yes. Both services use the report template, structure and input format agreed with your firm. Every case must follow that format, with its own client-specific information and wording. Bespoke reports, alternative layouts and work outside that format must be agreed before starting and incur additional charges.

Is there a minimum monthly volume?+

Yes. A minimum monthly case volume applies to both services. We agree the number with your firm before starting, alongside the template, scope and fee.

What does the £200 starting price cover?+

A standard full annual review using the agreed template and subject to your agreed minimum monthly volume: preparation, research and paraplanning, annual review documentation, an editable Word copy and the branded HTML report. Cash-flow reporting, detailed fund performance and video are additional options. More complex work or additional requirements are agreed and quoted before production.

What does the £70 report-only price cover?+

A basic conversion of your completed annual review, supplied as a Word document or PDF, into branded HTML using the agreed template and subject to your agreed minimum monthly volume. Cash-flow reporting, detailed fund performance and video are additional options. You provide the approved wording and figures. Extensive additional displays, new research and advice drafting are outside the basic conversion scope.

Does detailed fund performance cost more?+

Yes. Detailed fund performance data and additional analysis increase the cost and are quoted to the agreed scope. Basic portfolio table data, including percentage holdings, is included at no additional charge. This example shows the more detailed fund-data option.

Are cash-flow reporting and detailed fund data both extra?+

Yes. Each is an optional addition with its own quoted fee. If both are requested, both charges apply. Adding a standard-size supplied video file costs a further £25. We confirm all selected additions before production.

Who checks the report and takes responsibility for the advice?+

Your firm retains responsibility for the advice, suitability and recommendations. Before issue, the responsible adviser must check all report content, figures, assumptions and supporting material, identify any errors or omissions, and approve the exact final version. We do not give advice to your clients or accept responsibility for your firm’s advice or for errors caused by inaccurate or incomplete information supplied to us. Our preparation and conversion work remains subject to the agreed service terms.

Do we choose the content and wording?+

Yes. We agree the topics, level of detail and structure when setting up your template. Each case uses that format, with the appropriate client-specific wording and figures. Your adviser approves the final version. Changes outside the agreed format require prior agreement and an additional fee.

Does every review include cash flow or video?+

No. Cash-flow reporting is added only where relevant and is charged separately on either service, even without video. It can use charts and written explanations alone. A standard-size supplied video file adds £25; this is a separate charge from the cash-flow reporting fee.

Can we add adviser video for £25?+

Adding a standard-size supplied video file costs £25 extra. We confirm the file-size allowance before starting. Larger files, additional video requirements and recording or editing work are quoted separately.

Will the Word document look like the HTML report?+

No. The full service includes a Word copy with the same written content and figures, in a conventional document layout. Interactive elements are represented differently and video or online resources can be referenced by links.

Can the report use our branding and contact links?+

Yes. We can use your logo, colours and typography, and include your supplied adviser contact details, website and meeting-booking links. The exact links and destination services are agreed and checked.

How is the report delivered to the client?+

We agree a suitable route: our secure website, your compatible website or portal, or a downloadable report folder. Access, hosting, retention and any ongoing support are confirmed before client use.
