I am a Chartered Financial Planner and Chartered Accountant, with over 13 years experience in financial services. I advise on: - Pensions & retirement planning (including all types of pension) - Investments (both making new and reviewing existing investments) - Estate planning (i.e. to mitigate inheritance tax) - Insurance & mortgages As an Independent Financial Adviser I take an objective approach to providing advice, as I am able to recommend solutions which consider the whole of the market, rather than a limited range of products or funds. I am also a Chartered Accountant and have extensive knowledge in taxation, complimenting my advice further as I can ensure that your financial plans are as tax efficient as possible. I really enjoy what I do for a living. I always take the time to get to know my clients, making sure that my advice is tailored for your specific circumstances and objectives. I am easy to speak to and very clear in my advice, as I feel it's important that you make informed decisions about your financial plans. All of my initial discussions are free of charge. After this you are free to contact me and should never feel under any obligation. Amethyst IFAs have been providing advice to clients for over 20 years, primarily in the North East of England from our office in North Shields. We also travel to our clients' home or use video conferencing if you prefer. From building long-term relationships with our clients, we have established a very good reputation of delivering sound financial advice.
