Last night we were delighted to welcome a packed room to Beyond the Noise: What AI Means for the Trusted Adviser Relationship, at Home House Studio, bringing together professionals from across the advisory community. A huge thank you to our moderator, speakers and everyone who attended. The quality of discussion, both on the panel and in the room afterwards, showed just how important these conversations have become for advisers and clients alike. Our key takeaways: ✅ AI is here to stay. For professional advisers, the real benefit is freeing up more meaningful time with clients. ✅ The firms adopting AI best are rethinking their processes as a whole, and asking which skills will matter most for adding value to clients in future. ✅ The human in the loop remains essential. Quality and regulatory compliance are fundamental. ✅ And looking ahead, the panel’s predictions: avatars, more data-led services, and new pricing models. Thank you again to all who joined us. We look forward to continuing the conversation.

Policies are one thing. Can you show they’re working? That’s one of the important questions coming out of the FCA’s latest feedback on how payments firms support vulnerable customers. For payment service providers’ and e-money institutions’, this isn’t just about having procedures and training in place. Firms need to understand the vulnerabilities their customers face, provide consistent support and be able to evidence good outcomes. With the FCA making clear that it will intervene where expectations aren’t being met, now is a good time to take another look at your approach. Ben Arram looks at the key points and what they mean in practice: eu1.hubs.ly/H0yVNG30

The deal was great. The outcome wasn't! Selling your business should be a moment to celebrate. But a great deal on paper doesn’t always mean a great outcome for the founder. An earnout that doesn’t pay what you expected. A bigger tax bill than you planned for. Or simply walking away with less than you thought you would. These things are often decided long before the deal completes, which is why it pays to think about the end result early, not just the headline price. The BKL Deals Hub brings together the support founders and business owners need before, during and after a deal, from getting the business ready for sale and structuring the deal, through to tax and fractional CFO support.
