Financial planning should always be about strategy, not product. Financial products are simply the means to an end, and should never be seen as the key to financial success.

For over 30 years David Hayes, Founder and Director of Consilium Private Wealth, has worked as a problem solver and an adviser. David started his professional life in accounting and auditing, moved into business process improvement, and spent several years working as a management consultant for leading multinational firms who understood that they were in the “advice” business. They had no physical products to sell – but they did have highly skilled people who knew how to work with their clients to solve complex problems.

­Consilium is a Latin word meaning advice, plan, counsel, purpose. When David chose a business name he wanted it to reflect his focus on providing personalised advice and guidance, free from any product bias.
