Accounting / Financial Services
Geoff Dyckes Financial Consultancy (GDFC) is an independent, advice-only lifestyle financial planning firm helping people gain clarity, confidence and control over their financial lives, without being sold products.
Founded by Geoff Dyckes after more than 40 years in financial services, GDFC was created from a simple belief:
Financial planning should start with your life, not your money.
The firm does not sell pensions, investments, insurance or financial products of any kind, and does not charge commissions or asset-based fees. Clients pay transparent fees for independent thinking, education and planning.
GDFC operates as a true fiduciary, always acting in the client’s best interests, a philosophy known as FIAT: Fiduciary In All Things.
Advice is unbiased, practical and focused on helping clients understand their options and make confident decisions.
Clients are guided through GDFC’s ALIGNS Lifestyle Financial Planning Programme, which helps them explore what really matters, define their future goals, identify barriers, gain clarity around money, and take clear next steps with ongoing support. The emphasis is not on chasing returns, but on achieving a meaningful Return on Life.
GDFC typically works with business owners, professionals, families and individuals navigating life transitions who want clarity without pressure or jargon. The aim is simple: help people focus on what they can control, live intentionally, and make decisions that truly support the life they want, because life is short.
