SK Footprints: Ever wondered what we do when we’re not focused on finances?

I was sitting in a presentation and saw a graphic that immediately grabbed my attention – 4/2080. It was estimated that financial planners spend approximately four hours a year with each client out of the 2080 business hours there are in the year. Even if we double that amount to eight hours, that still leaves over 2,070 hours. You therefore might wonder, what are we doing when we’re not speaking with you?

Well, you could say we have other clients to see. This is true. Or that we’re working on our professional development. This is also true. We might be negotiating special terms for our clients. Yes, this has certainly happened and remains an ongoing conversation. We might say we are trying to reduce the costs of your portfolio fees. That too is a live conversation.

But there is more to us than maybe meets the eye. Welcome to SK Footprints where we want to shine a light on what we do when we’re not with clients or fighting your corner. We are keen to share with you the work we do in the charitable, community and educational spaces as we strive to be a better neighbour, personally and professionally.

As a company, we recognise the value in doing this. We create the time and space for everyone here to support those around us, whether that is through charities and external companies or through work experience here at SK and mentoring.

Thank you for reading.
