As a Chartered Financial Planner the most important thing to me is providing the best advice to clients and their interests lie at the heart of everything I do. At Bloom we always follow the same morals, standards and practices of a Chartered Financial Planning Firm. We use a holistic and independent approach where we truly understand what you want, before giving advice on any possible solutions. My aim is to provide quality and clear financial advice and as a result build strong ongoing relationships with my clients. Key areas I can add value: Tax Planning Retirement Planning Pensions Family & Individual Protection Business Protection Savings & Investments Wealth Management Intergenerational and legacy planning At Bloom, our mission is to help you cultivate financial wellbeing. This gives you the freedom to enjoy day-to-day life and achieve your goals because you have planned for the future. We believe fresh thinking is key. We created Bloom to introduce a fresh approach to financial planning. We wanted to offer an alternative to the stuffy, impersonal, one-size-fits-all style that many financial advisers offer. Our bespoke 360° approach goes beyond the numbers and looks at the whole picture. We believe your financial consultant should guide you through the complexities of the financial world, enlighten rather than lecture you, give you clear options to choose from, and make personal recommendations for you. To do this, we listen to what you really want to achieve; understand your hopes, fears, appetite for risk; and any key milestones in your future. Only then can we truly have a meaningful impact on your life. Ready to feel refreshed?

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
We moved into a new property and had a baby in 2018 and wanted to make sure that we had adequate protections in place for life insurance and critical illness. In addition we were keen to ensure our pensions were working as hard as possible to ensure that we could plan for retirement with plenty of time.

James provided us with a range of cover options and explained all of the options clearly, there was no pressure so we were able to pick the plans that suited us the best

Yes we feel that we have the right cover in place for our growing family and know that our financial planning is in capable and safe hands which means I don’t have to worry about it.
What could they have done better?
Nothing
