I have worked as a Financial Adviser since 2003, prominently in the West End and The City of London. I have worked for many large banking organisations including RBS, Halifax, and HSBC. I am a diploma qualified financial planner and a member of the Chartered Insurance Institute. Working with a financial planner affords you the freedom and opportunity to live the life you wish both for yourself and for your family. I am here to help you with a holistic financial planning service, including tax planning, tax and inheritance tax mitigation, savings and investments, insurance and protection, pensions and retirement and estate planning, I use sophisticated cashflow modelling software to help you develop lifetime financial plans and to bring your financial future to life. I work extensively with business owners, high earners, and high net worth individuals, all of whom need specific, expert tailored advice surrounding tax, tax allowances and pension planning – both as an individual and alongside your spouse or partner to efficiently manage your finances in the short, medium and long term. Outside of work I am a fully qualified FA football coach and manage an U15’s football team, both of which keep me fit and healthy, and I thoroughly enjoy. I am actively involved and treasurer for a local charity whose aim is to provide support and services for the young and old in my local community, which is very rewarding.
