Unlock the full potential of your finances with an Annual Review
Many people assume that if things are “fine,” they don’t need an Annual Review.
But the FP Process is built on the understanding that your world never stands still.
Skipping your Annual Review can quietly derail your long-term plans.
How it impacts each of the 3P’s:
PRESERVE
Your financial foundations may shift without you realising.
Small cracks can turn into big problems — and missed opportunities.
PROTECT
Structures can become outdated, tax opportunities can be missed, and risks can grow quietly in the background.
PROSPER
Without recalibration, your long-term goals drift further away.
Succession timelines blow out.
Growth opportunities pass you by.
The big picture gets lost in daily pressures.

The FP Process relies on annual reflection and recalibration.
Your future wealth, lifestyle and legacy depend on:
staying aligned,
staying informed,
and staying intentional.
Your Annual Review ensures your pathway to Future Prosperity remains clear and achievable, no matter what changes around you. Keep a look out for your invite in January.
