Why choose our consultations?

Are you an English speaker living in the Czech Republic*, struggling to find a finance professional with a decent level of English? Look no further. Most individuals who provide financial advice are financial advisors paid on commission for selling products or employees of institutions with specific sales targets set by their employers. Therefore, it is not always clear whether they are acting in the best interests of the client. We offer paid consultations, both online or in person, that will independently assess your situation, and prepare a calculation or analysis for you.

*we can also offer services internationally, but we cannot offer a detailed analysis of nation-specific financial products.

What do we offer?

Actually, whatever you tell us. The most common cases include auditing your existing portfolio, calculating the profitability of buying an investment property, comparing offers for life insurance, mortgages, or investments, or general financial advice with starting a product. We can also start for you commission-free products, such as those described in our article on index funds (ETFs).

What is the procedure and cost?

We only invoice our time at a rate of 1,000 CZK per hour. Contact us at the email ondrej.podlesak@cefig.cz, where you can roughly describe the consultation you are interested in. We will provide you with an approximate price so you have an idea of whether the task will take one hour or five."
