Why January is prime time for financial advice
Did you know that January is the busiest month for financial advice enquiries in the UK? Whether you’re searching for financial advice, mortgage advice or help with your retirement planning, getting your finances in order early in the year can make a real difference.
People start thinking about money in January
January feels like a fresh start for finances. Many people make new year’s resolutions to save more, invest better, or plan for retirement. After the festive season, it’s common to review what you’ve spent, look at your debts, and think about how to improve your money situation.
If you’ve been asking yourself questions like:
- how can I save more money this year?
- should I review my pension now?
- is this a good time to invest or remortgage?
…you’re experiencing the same mindset that drives the January rush for financial advice.
Why acting early makes a difference
Getting financial advice early in the year comes with real benefits:
- More time to plan – starting in January gives you the chance to make thoughtful decisions without feeling rushed.
- Better access to advisers – we’re ready for the new year surge and can provide tailored guidance to suit your needs.
- Maximising tax and investment opportunities – early planning can help you make the most of pensions, ISAs, and other allowances.
- Peace of mind – knowing your finances are on track helps you approach the year with confidence.
Financial planning in January isn’t just about resolutions – it’s about setting yourself up for a smoother, more organised financial year.
What you can do now
Even small steps in January can have a big impact. Consider:
- reviewing your pension or retirement plan
- checking your savings and investments
- creating a budget for the year ahead
- speaking to one of our independent advisers about mortgage advice or tax planning
Acting now means you can start the year with clarity and confidence rather than waiting until later when decisions feel more urgent.
