According to Alan Lakein, “Planning is bringing the future into the present so that you can do something about it now.”

Planning is considered the key to success! Many business owners fail now and then because they cannot create a practical plan for their organization due to a heavy workload. However, now you have the facility of hiring a financial advisor to do the job for you.

Do you need help with your money? If you’re like many people, you might need a hand. According to the National Financial Education Council of America, a lack of personal finance knowledge costs the average American $1,200 a year.

Finding a good financial advisor can help you avoid these costs and focus on your goals. Financial advisors aren’t only for rich people—working with an advisor is an excellent choice for anyone who wants to get their finances on course and set long-term objectives.

Consulting with a business financial advisor is one of the most brilliant actions a small business owner can take to safeguard the future of their company. Each year, more and more businesses make the money-savvy decision to meet with a financial advisor to receive advice and strategies for everything from tax preparation to their overall business stability.

To be effective with your money, you should consider a financial advisor as a partner. Financial advisors need to get to know you well—understanding your current spending and savings habits, income and expenses. An estimated 40% of small business owners have consulted with a financial consulting team.

One of the best financial consulting firms to hire for your future and your firm’s future would be deVere Group. deVere Group is one of the world’s prominent financial advisory organizations. The firm prides itself on providing high-class, professional advice to expatriate clients and investors worldwide.

In conversation with Nigel Green, CEO, and Founder of deVere Group

Q. What inspired you to choose this path in business?

Being able to help people achieve their financial ambitions to enable them to have life-enhancing experiences for themselves and their loved ones is a game-changer and the principal reason why I chose this path. Having more wealth provides you and your loved ones with more opportunities. Plus, it allows you to give something back to society and help those less fortunate than yourself.

Q. If you had the chance, what’s one thing you would do to improve the service provided by your company?

At deVere, we always strive to do better. We work hard to stay at the top by continually adapting and evolving.  We never rest on our laurels. It’s about listening to our clients so we truly understand what they want and their needs for them to achieve their objectives.

Furthermore, we want to be quicker in bringing new fintech solutions to the market, which are highly sought-after by clients. We will focus even more on their tech demands and maintain the growth of our suite of innovative wealth tech products and services.

Q. What do you have to say to someone just starting as an entrepreneur?

One of the most important factors I would say to someone just starting out is to maintain the focus on your goals and ambitions. Never settle. Keep learning, learn something new every day, and regularly boost your skillset. This will help you to reach, perhaps exceed, your full potential and stay on top.

Of course, you’ll encounter setbacks and obstacles along the way, but keep going and always moving forward. Also, perhaps one of the most crucial aspects in business, whatever the industry, is never letting criticism or negativity stop you from doing anything.

Q. How do you make room for continuing to learn while leading?

Constantly learning is one of my main priorities. You can never have enough knowledge. I have a hectic schedule, so I typically make time when I’m traveling to catch up on reading and stay up to date with all the latest news. I also listen to podcasts with business leaders, health specialists, and other financial industry figures to learn new perspectives and fresh ways of doing things; I’m always learning. Not just from a financial point of view, I’m also a health and fitness fanatic and like to find out the latest trends to stay as fit as possible.

Q. How do you feel traits like empathy and vulnerability play a role in your leadership?

Regarding empathy, everything we do is based on our clients. We listen to them and understand where they’re coming from, what matters to them, what they want from us, and ways we can help them achieve their goals. It’s not solely clients. Empathy is also vital when it comes to our colleagues. To ensure they’re performing at their absolute best, they’re on track to reaching their professional objectives and constantly motivated. In terms of vulnerability, this plays a crucial role in my leadership style, as I always admit when I’m wrong. If I’ve made a mistake, I’ll immediately apologize and do everything I can to rectify the situation as soon as possible. Being vulnerable isn’t a negative. It makes you human.

Q. What are the qualities you look for in a future employee, and why?

Dedication, commitment, motivation, enthusiasm. These traits are all absolutely essential for every employee, regardless of their position or role in the company. Also, a willingness to learn is crucial, the ability to accept criticism and use it in a positive way moving forward, and of course, the only way to achieve success is to work hard. 

Q. What is your ‘friend in need’ approach for the investors?

At deVere, we only ever advise clients the same way we would our friends and families. We would never put clients’ funds where we wouldn’t put our own. The principal aim is to ensure our clients are in an optimal financial position via bespoke advice and pioneering fintech solutions. Our primary concern is knowing our clients have peace of mind that they’re on course to reach their goals.

Q. What do you do outside of your professional life?

Regarding the work/life balance, it isn’t an issue for me as I love what I do. Work is life. Life is work. I’m incredibly fortunate to enjoy what I do thoroughly. That said, I do have my passions outside of work! Chelsea FC is one, and I try to go to as many matches as possible. I also love Formula 1 and travel as much as possible to catch as many races as my schedule allows! Traveling is a big passion, and I’m always genuinely thrilled about visiting every place I go.
