Retirement, reimagined

You’re in your prime. Your career’s thriving, your income’s solid, and your ambitions? Still going strong. So, whilst you’re not retiring anytime soon – that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be planning to make that reimaged retirement happen.

At Greenwoods, we’re seeing more and more clients asking themselves: What do I want my next chapter to look like? And, more importantly: How do I make it happen?

For some, it’s about helping the next generation – funding a first home, a dream wedding, or a head start in life. For others, it’s about freedom: to travel, to consult, to study, to start something new. And for many, it’s about legacy -making a meaningful impact that lasts.

Whatever your version of “next” looks like, the key is planning. Not someday. Now.

“Retirement isn’t about slowing down. It’s about opening doors. The earlier you plan, the more freedom you create.”

– Matt Biles, Partner, Private Wealth Team

Structure Creates Freedom

We work with clients who are still in their peak earning years but want clarity and control over their wealth. Because here’s the truth: the best time to plan your future is while you still have options.

That might mean:

• Reviewing your estate strategy – from lifetime gifting to Family Investment Companies
• Maximising tax efficiency – using exemptions, reliefs, and charitable giving
• Putting safeguards in place – like LPAs and Will structures that protect what matters

It’s not about ticking boxes. It’s about building a plan that reflects your life, your values, and your goals.

Legacy, without the guesswork

We meet clients every day who aren’t looking to retire – they’re looking to evolve. To write books. Launch ventures. Support their families. Leave something meaningful behind.

And they’re not leaving it to chance.

They’re taking action now while they have the flexibility and the earning power to shape their future on their terms.

“Wealth gives you choices. But those choices don’t happen by accident. They’re the result of thoughtful planning – often years in advance.”

– Matt Biles

So, whether your next chapter includes a second career, a sabbatical, or simply more time for what you love, we’re here to help you plan it – clearly, confidently, and with a little style.

Because if you’re too young to retire, you’re perfectly positioned to take control.
