Fixed fee way to pay

Offering flexible pricing within a regulated industry

Fixed fees provide you with flexibility without commitments.

Priced by the work, not your balance

A fixed or hourly fee reflects the advice you receive. Two people will have different needs and so flexible options for advice allows us to cover more clients to meet their needs.

Layered costs are easy to miss

Adviser, platform, fund and any discretionary-management charges can stack up — and because they are taken from your investments rather than paid out of pocket, they are easy to overlook.

The way you pay other professionals

You pay a solicitor or an accountant a fixed or hourly fee for a defined piece of work. Financial advice can work the same way.

Advice when you need it

Somme people and families need advice at specific moments — a decision, a move, a review — rather than a permanent arrangement. Our model is built for that.

The Wealth Hub allows for circumstances to be updated as life is a movie not a photo so things can be updated and amended to cover the journey.



How it works

Pay for membership, then add adviser time as needed

Edale combines a client portal you can use year-round with pay-as-you-go access to a real, FCA-regulated adviser. This complements our ongoing advisory services at edale.co.

Hourly & fixed fees

A clear fee for a defined piece of work, agreed before you commit. You always know what you are paying for.

Advice on demand

Pre-paid session credits let you book time with your adviser when you need it — one decision at a time, with no minimum term or tie-in.

Nothing hidden and when you need it

No ongoing fees beyond annual membership. Discount on bundled hours that are available for 1 years from purchase.

Membership gives you the portal and tools; session credits cover adviser time. See the pricing page for current fees. Fees may be subject to VAT depending on the nature of the work; we confirm the position before you commit.



Who we help

Built for people left out by the existing industry business models

The confident DIY investor

You run a low-cost portfolio yourself and want a paid second opinion, a drawdown plan, or a sense-check — not someone to take it over.

Reviewing an ongoing % arrangement

You already pay an ongoing percentage and want to understand what you get for it — and whether one-off advice would suit you better.

A US citizen or dual national in the UK

You are a US person living in the UK and need advice that works on both sides of the Atlantic — from a firm that will actually take you on.

A UK resident with US ties

You hold US assets, have inherited a US account, or are moving between the US and UK, and want the whole picture joined up in one plan.



US–UK cross-border

Advice that speaks both systems

Most UK advisers don’t handle US tax; most US advisers don’t handle ISAs and SIPPs. Cross-border planning is one of the things Edale is built to do — so you aren’t left bouncing between a US tax preparer and a UK adviser who each see only half of it.

We take US persons

Many UK advisers decline US citizens. We welcome US persons and cross-border households, with the brokerage set-up (via Interactive Brokers) to work with them.

PFIC-aware investing

UK funds, ETFs and Stocks & Shares ISAs are typically treated as PFICs for US taxpayers. We help structure investments with PFIC rules and US/UK reporting in mind.

UK and US accounts, one plan

ISAs and SIPPs alongside 401(k)s, traditional and Roth IRAs — coordinated with double-tax-treaty treatment and the Foreign Tax Credit.

Reporting kept in view

Planning that stays mindful of FBAR, FATCA and Form 8938 obligations, working alongside your tax preparers rather than in isolation.

Inherited US assets

Inherited an IRA, 401(k), brokerage account or US property as a UK resident? We coordinate the US treatment (withholding, W-8BEN/ITIN, treaty relief) with UK tax and the 2025 inheritance-tax changes.

Brokerage migration

US brokerage account closed or restricted after you moved? We advise on moving to a suitable home, including Interactive Brokers via Edale, mindful of avoiding an unnecessary taxable event.

We provide regulated financial planning, coordinated with your US and UK tax advisers. We do not prepare or file US or UK tax returns, and the cross-border information on this page is general information, not personal tax advice.

Common questions

Frequently asked

How do your fees work — do you charge a percentage of my investments?
You pay a one-off activation fee, an annual membership, and pay-as-you-go session credits for the advice you use — priced by the hour or as a fixed fee for a defined piece of work – where regulated advice with a suitability report requirement buy the FCA this will be priced accordingly. Fees may be subject to VAT depending on the nature of the work, and we confirm the position before you commit.
Is there a minimum portfolio size to work with you?
No. Because you pay for advice rather than handing over assets to manage, there is no investable-asset minimum.
Can I just pay for a single question or one-off plan?
Yes. Session credits let you buy the time you need for one decision with no minimum term and no obligation to move your investments or to continue. Where FCA advice needs a suitability report, this will be calculated appropriately.
I’m a US citizen or dual US/UK national living in the UK — can you help me?
Yes. Cross-border US/UK planning is one of our specialisms and we welcome US persons that many UK advisers decline. We coordinate UK and US considerations together and work alongside your US and UK tax advisers. We provide regulated financial planning, not US or UK tax-return preparation, and will always be clear about scope.
I hold (or want) an ISA or UK funds but I’m a US taxpayer — what about PFICs?
UK funds, ETFs and Stocks & Shares ISAs are typically treated as PFICs by the IRS, which can be punitive and reporting-heavy for US taxpayers. We help US persons structure investments with PFIC rules and US/UK reporting in mind, rather than leaving money sitting in cash or legacy assets. Tax treatment depends on your circumstances and can change.
My US brokerage account was closed or restricted after I moved — can you help me move it?
Yes. We can advise on migrating a restricted or closed US brokerage account to a suitable alternative, including Interactive Brokers via Edale, with attention to transferring in a way that avoids an unnecessary taxable event where possible.
Are you regulated, and are you independent?
Edale UK Management Ltd is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (Reference number 812332) and provides independent advice. We do not earn product commission or sell offshore investment bonds or QROPS. You can verify our status on the FCA register. Being FCA-regulated does not mean the FCA endorses or recommends us.
Will you tell me if I don’t actually need advice?
Yes. An independent fee and suitability review can show what you are really paying across adviser, platform and fund layers, and whether one-off advice would suit you better. As with any investing, the value of investments can fall as well as rise and you may get back less than you put in.
