Meridian Trust Financial Counsel

Retirement Income Map

A structured consultation that turns State Pension forecasts, workplace pots, and drawdown questions into a written income sequence you can act on.

Most clients arrive with statements from more than one provider and a quiet worry about sequencing withdrawals. We gather those papers, test spending assumptions against longevity and inflation, and leave you with a map of which pot to tap first—and which to leave invested.

Typical engagement: two meetings over three to five weeks, plus a plain-English written plan.

How we work

Advice that begins with paperwork, not slogans

We ask for pension statements, mortgage schedules, and a month of household spending before the first full session. That discipline keeps the conversation grounded in your actual figures rather than generic market commentary.

From clients

“The pension consolidation meeting was slower than I expected—and that was useful. We spent forty minutes just reconciling old SERPS credits before anyone mentioned funds.”
