Planning your personal and family finances is not easy in our busy and complicated world and for an expat these issues can seem almost impossible to manage. Often, this is the last thing on your list of priorities, but unfortunately burying your head in the sand will only prolong the decision and may lead to serious problems down the road.

It is not always easy to talk about this subject as well, and is who you are talking with; be it a family member, friend or sales person got your best interests at heart, and do they really understand your situation?

The role of the financial coach is to listen to you and ask powerful questions you might not think about, so that you can build your own financial plan.

Building your own plan with the help of a coach means you will understand it better and be more involved and therefore more likely to succeed; rather than if you are just sold a product you don’t really understand and does not suit your needs.

Once you have created a plan, the ‘coach’ can then help later down the line if things change and you need to review it.
