Welcome to Proficient Financial Planners

Proficient Financial Planners is a FEE ONLY Financial Planning advisory firm based in Mumbai and operating since 2009.
We are in the business of helping people manage their finances and help them achieve their financial dreams and aspirations.

Why do you require a Financial Planner?

Today our generation is earning much more income than the previous generation, but most people don’t have the time to devote towards managing their money efficiently for creating sustainable assets for themselves and for their beloved family. Secondly, due to lack of time and knowledge, many of the investments are done without understanding its benefits, risk-reward parameters and tax implications.

Many don’t have any defined financial goals and hence take decisions based on impulse due to which the future might not be as pleasant as you would want to be.

Mr. Fernandes also regularly writes in the media especially in newspapers such as Business Standard, Indian Express, Business Bhaskar, Daijiworld, Moneycontrol, etc

How can a Financial Planner help?

The financial planner takes a holistic view of your financial situation, helps you define and decide on your financial goals & prepares the roadmap for you to achieve your goals. During this entire process he interacts with you as a friend and guide and is there for you during your entire journey to help you move in the right direction of your goals by closely monitoring your progress.

We at Proficient Financial Planners are committed to establishing a long term relationship with our clients based on trust and understanding while also providing you unbiased advice.

Financial Planning

Financial planning is the process of preparing the roadmap to enable achievement of your financial goals through proper management of your finances.

The process is initiated by understanding your financial situation and leads to setting of your financial goals. The planner then looks into your income, expenditure pattern, risk profiling, cashflows, asset allocation, existing investments, insurances, assets and liabilities, etc and suggests you an appropriate strategy to enable you to achieve all your financial goals in a planned manner with routine monitoring.

Financial planning is an ongoing process since income/ expenditure, social and economic factors keeps changing over one’s lifetime and there could be a course correction required in between. At times people’s dreams and aspirations also change over time due to which regular monitoring and review with the financial planner becomes mandatory.

Why Fee Only?

The soundness of your financial health depends on the kind of advice you receive. With no time and stressed out at work you lay a trust on your financial planner to ensure your financial objectives are taken care of. There are mainly three varieties of financial planners which you will come across. A fee based, a commission based and a fee only planner. There is a strong distinction of how these planners work.
