Acumen Financial Planning and Acumen Employee Benefits has unveiled a refreshed brand identity, new website and streamlined service structure, reflecting how the Scottish business has grown and its ambition to make financial planning more accessible throughout life.

Launched on November 1 2026, the changes bring Acumen's services together more clearly under one familiar name. The new structure makes it easier for clients to access different levels of advice as their circumstances change, from the early stages of building wealth through to retirement and planning for future generations.

Rather than having to navigate separate brands or divisions, clients can continue their financial journey within Acumen, building on the relationships they've already established while accessing additional expertise when they need it.

The firm's offering extends beyond traditional investment and retirement advice – supporting individuals and families with more complex needs, including intergenerational wealth planning, family governance, succession planning and coaching for Powers of Attorney. The firm also has financial planners with specialist expertise in supporting business owners and medical and dental professionals. Alongside this, Acumen Employee Benefits works with employers to develop workplace benefits and financial wellbeing strategies, while close collaboration with in-house Enrich Tax Consultancy and external legal professionals brings together expertise across financial planning, tax, accountancy and legal matters.

Keith Mackie, Managing Director said: "We believe good financial planning can make a real difference to people's lives, and you shouldn't have to wait until you're approaching retirement or have built up significant wealth to benefit from it.

"We want to be there for people through all the different stages of life, whether that's helping someone make the most of their money early in their career or working with families to plan for future generations. Life changes, priorities change, and the advice we offer should grow with you.

"Acumen has come a long way over the years, and we wanted our brand to reflect the business we are today and where we're heading. We've given it a fresh, modern look, but it's still very much us. We're proud of the people we have, the relationships we've built and the approachable, down-to-earth way we do things. That's something we'll never want to lose.

"Ultimately, it's about making financial planning easier to access, helping people feel confident about their future and being a firm they know they can turn to, whatever life brings."

Acumen's updated visual identity introduces a more modern feel, while retaining the look and personality clients will recognise. Its redesigned website also brings the firm's services and expertise together in one place, making it easier for visitors to explore the support available to them.

The launch marks another step forward for Acumen, which has been supporting clients since 2002 and holds both Chartered and Accredited Financial Planning Firm status.

The refreshed Acumen brand and website are now live at acumenfp.com.
