Our Services
Tailored financial guidance for every stage of life and business
We offer a range of consulting services designed to address specific financial challenges. Whether you're an individual looking to get your household finances in order, or a business owner managing complex cash flows, we have the expertise to help. Each service can be purchased individually or combined into a comprehensive financial plan.
Budget Planning & Analysis
From £95A sustainable budget isn't about restriction—it's about understanding where your money goes and directing it intentionally. We analyse your income and spending patterns, identify areas where small changes yield significant results, and create a personalised spending framework that balances daily life with longer-term goals.

- Complete income and expense analysis
- Category-by-category spending review
- Identification of savings opportunities

- One-month follow-up consultation
Ideal For
Individuals or households who feel uncertain about their spending, struggle to save consistently, or want to free up money for specific goals like travel, education, or property deposits.
Retirement Strategy
From £195Retirement planning isn't something to think about "later." Whether you're in your thirties or fifties, understanding your trajectory now allows for meaningful adjustments. We review your pensions, project your retirement income under various scenarios, and identify gaps while there's still time to address them.

Business Finance Consulting
From £250Small and medium businesses face unique financial challenges—irregular revenue, seasonal fluctuations, growth investments, supplier negotiations. We help business owners build financial systems that provide clarity and support sustainable growth without the overhead of a full-time finance director.

From £125Debt can feel overwhelming, but there's almost always a path forward.

No judgement—just practical support.

Property Investment Advisory
From £275Property can be an excellent wealth-building tool, but the calculations are often more complex than they appear. We help clients evaluate potential investments, optimise existing portfolios, understand true yields after all costs, and integrate property into broader financial planning.

We look at current spending, savings, debts, investments, protection needs, tax efficiency, and retirement trajectory—then create an integrated strategy that ties everything together.

Our Consulting Process
Initial Discussion
We talk through your situation and goals. This helps us understand which services are relevant and lets you ask questions before committing.
Information Gathering
You share relevant documents—bank statements, pension details, business accounts. We provide secure upload options and clear checklists.
Analysis & Strategy
We analyse your information, identify opportunities and concerns, and develop tailored recommendations.
Review Session
We present findings and recommendations, explain our reasoning, and refine the plan based on your feedback.
Implementation Support
We help you take action—whether that's setting up accounts, adjusting budgets, or negotiating with providers.
Ongoing Relationship
Follow-up sessions keep your strategy current as circumstances change. Most clients return annually at minimum.
The silicon-drone Difference
No Product Sales
We don't sell financial products or earn commissions. Our recommendations are based solely on what's best for your situation.
Fixed Fees
You'll know exactly what services cost before we begin. No hidden charges, no percentage-based fees that grow with your assets.
Complete Confidentiality
Your financial information stays private. We're ICO registered and follow strict data protection protocols.
Qualified Consultants
Our team holds relevant professional certifications and maintains ongoing education requirements.
Flexible Scheduling
Evening and weekend appointments available. We work around your schedule, not the other way around.
Ongoing Support
Questions don't always arise during appointments. Clients can reach us via email between sessions for quick queries.
Service FAQs
Start with a conversation. We'll discuss your situation and recommend the most appropriate service—or combination of services. There's no obligation, and we'll be honest if we think professional help isn't necessary for your particular situation.
Absolutely. Many clients benefit from multiple services delivered together. For instance, debt management often pairs well with budget planning. We offer package discounts when combining services, and the Comprehensive Financial Plan already includes elements from multiple individual services.
Life happens. We ask for 24 hours notice for rescheduling when possible, but we understand emergencies arise. There's no charge for occasional rescheduling. If you need to pause a service mid-way, we'll work out fair arrangements.
Yes. While we have offices in Newcastle city centre, many clients prefer video consultations. All our services can be delivered remotely, and our secure document sharing makes it easy to collaborate without meeting in person.
If you're not satisfied after the first session of any service, we'll refund your fee in full. Beyond that, we pro-rate refunds based on work completed. We've rarely had refund requests—our initial discussions usually ensure good fit before payment.
