The Unividual Way is trusted financial advice

We foster a culture rooted in strong values, which guide all our actions. "The Unividual Way” encapsulates this commitment, providing a roadmap for building trust, driving creativity and achieving excellence.

Changing the face of financial services

Through workshops and open discussions, in 2024 we came together to redefine our mission, values, and ways of working, ensuring Unividual remains a place where people thrive, clients feel empowered and financial planning continues to evolve. This has created a living, evolving way of doing things which reflects our shared purpose, responsibilities, and the way we support each other. When everyone has a voice, the business grows stronger.

Our Mission: Why we exist

“We are on a mission to transform the financial services industry by providing a safe space for all individuals, no matter their uniqueness, to receive jargon-free financial advice. Our focus is on enhancing the financial wellbeing and literacy of people and businesses, ultimately transforming the lives of the communities we serve.”

What to expect from our service

Our Strategy: How we will achieve this

OUR PURPOSE
At Unividual, we exist to make financial planning accessible, personal, and empowering. We believe that everyone deserves financial security, and we are committed to helping clients build their future with confidence. For over 25 years, we have challenged the status quo in financial services by blending expertise with a deeply human approach, ensuring that every client’s journey is unique to them.

OUR APPROACH

  • Creating a safe space for financial conversations. We meet people where they are, providing advice without judgment, pressure, or jargon.
  • Bringing financial confidence to every client. Whether planning for the future, managing investments, or securing a legacy, we empower individuals and businesses to make informed decisions.
  • Challenging outdated industry norms. Financial services should be inclusive, transparent, and free from unnecessary complexity.
  • Building lasting relationships. Trust is the foundation of everything we do. Our clients stay with us because we prioritise their needs above all else.
  • Developing the next generation of financial planners. We invest in talent, ensuring our industry remains vibrant, diverse, and forward-thinking.
    Giving back to our community. From financial wellbeing workshops to charity initiatives, we use our expertise to create a meaningful impact beyond business.

"A close, tight-knit, family like company, that looks after people"

“I joined Unividual back in May 2022 after having worked in large companies within the financial services industry since I graduated from university in 2016. Working for major corporations used to be something that I aspired to do, however my past experiences made me realise that their bureaucratic leadership and micro-management did not fit with my own values.

Unividual prides itself in being a close, tight-knit, family like company that really looks after the well-being and development of its people, which is what encouraged me to join. Since moving to Unividual, I have been able to be my authentic self and the company has accepted me fully. Everyone goes through challenges in their personal life which you typically try to separate from your work. However, I have been able to openly share this with Unividual and they have gladly supported me, which I am so grateful for. In my short time in Unividual so far, I have already been given great responsibilities where I’ve been able to hone my skills and make a good impact on our clients and my colleagues. I have great leaders in this business who actually care and listen, which in turn help me work to the best of my ability so I can continue to produce high quality work and make a difference to our clients.”

More than a workplace, a family too

At Unividual, our mission isn’t just about financial advice, it’s about redefining the industry by putting people first. George’s journey with us highlights how a culture of collaboration, development, and integrity drives everything we do.

“Since starting at Unividual as a Paraplanner, I’ve always felt like part of the family. The team has been incredibly supportive and genuinely invested in helping me grow both professionally and personally. The culture here is unlike any other financial advice firm I’ve worked at. It’s truly collaborative, focused on development, and always centred around doing the right thing for our clients. Unividual isn’t just a workplace, it’s a place where people care deeply about each other’s success.” – George

By embodying these values and principles we create a business that thrives and a workplace that supports clients to the best of our ability. But it doesn’t just stop there. We will always strive to be at the forefront of pushing industry boundaries so that financial services can raise it’s profile, better serve and empower consumers and provide careers to people that really want to make a difference.

Together, we are building something bigger than a financial advice firm. We are shaping a new standard in financial services: one where trust, transparency, and people-first thinking lead the way.

How we deliver: The paraplanning team

At Unividual, our values aren’t just words, we strive to live them every day. Ruth has been part of our team for ten years, and her journey embodies what it means to work in a business that values innovation, integrity, and care.

“I’ve worked at Unividual for over an entire decade of my life. It’s been incredible to see the dedication this team has for growing a successful yet caring business. Yes, we’ve faced challenges, but I am thankful we always innovate whilst striving to achieve our own and client goals. I also faced personal challenges, and Unividual has been as supportive as my own family—from counselling through to time off, flexible working, and adapting my role. I have never worked for a company that treats everyone around it like family. This just is ‘The Unividual Way’.” – Ruth

Ruth’s experience reflects what makes Unividual different. We don’t just build a business, we build a culture where people feel supported, valued, and empowered to grow. Our commitment to collaboration, bravery, curiosity, integrity, balance, and an enterprising mindset isn’t just a philosophy, it’s how we work together every day.

This is The Unividual Way.
