Professional Advisors
Together with our expert Professional Advisors, we aim to advise clients on the philanthropy services best suited to helping them accomplish their charitable wishes.
What is a Professional Advisor?
A Professional Advisor instructs clients, on how best to design, implement and achieve their charitable aims and objectives.
Why work with a Professional Advisor?
Professional Advisors are experts with a wealth of knowledge and experience in helping individuals and organisations to manage their assets. Traditionally, individuals such as financial planners, accountants and attorneys are considered professional advisors.
SYCF offer flexible and bespoke options to clients for effective and rewarding giving. I am happy to recommend to clients who wish to give locally and improve the lives of people in their communities.
