About FinVisor

Our Story
FinVisor was founded in 2010 with a clear mission: to provide South Africans with accessible, transparent, and personalized financial guidance. We recognized that many individuals and families were struggling to navigate the complex financial landscape and needed a trusted partner to help them make informed decisions.

We understand the unique challenges and opportunities within the South African financial environment, from regulatory considerations to market dynamics. This blend of international expertise and local insight allows us to provide solutions that are truly relevant to our clients' needs.

Our Approach to Financial Planning
1. Discovery Consultation
We begin by listening carefully to understand your current financial situation, your goals, concerns, and values. This initial conversation helps us establish a foundation for your personalized financial plan.
2. Comprehensive Analysis
Our team conducts a thorough analysis of your financial information, including assets, liabilities, income, expenses, investments, insurance coverage, and tax situation. We identify strengths, gaps, and opportunities.
3. Strategy Development
Based on our analysis and your goals, we develop a comprehensive financial strategy with specific recommendations across various aspects of your financial life. We explain the rationale behind each recommendation.
4. Implementation
With your approval, we assist in implementing the recommendations, coordinating with other professionals (such as lawyers or accountants) when necessary. We ensure that each action aligns with your overall strategy.
5. Ongoing Review & Adjustment
Financial planning is not a one-time event. We schedule regular reviews to track progress, assess performance, and make adjustments as your life circumstances change or as market conditions evolve.
