We live so much of our lives in the past or the future, replaying what went wrong, or pre-playing what might. But meaning can only be found in one place: the present.

In our experience, a crisis strips away the illusion of control and brings us very quickly into the present. Suddenly, the ‘someday’ plans don’t seem so certain. And that’s when something shifts. We realise that the only place we can truly live and make intentional decisions is here. Now.

Financial planning isn’t about controlling the future. It’s about preparing wisely so that when things change, you don’t lose your footing. It’s about creating a foundation that supports the life you want to live today and tomorrow.

At SFP, we sit with clients in this present space. We don’t just ask what you’ve lost or what you’re hoping for. We ask what matters now. Because when you’re grounded in meaning, you’ll make better decisions, even in the middle of crisis and uncertainty.

Control is overrated. Presence is powerful.
