Before joining The Private Office in 2018, I started my career in a local firm gaining experience in both accountancy and financial planning, before completing a degree in Finance and Accounting at Brunel University. Since joining TPO, I have progressed quickly from working as part of the technical team through to a Partner and Adviser Manager within the business. I am a chartered Financial Planner and I have been nominated twice for New Model Adviser’s Top 35 Advisers under 35. I have spent my career developing a comprehensive and broad range of experiences dealing with clients from all walks of life, ranging from entrepreneurs, business owners, and city fund managers to musicians, music managers, and television personalities. As an advocate of lifestyle financial planning, I specialise in using financial forecasting to show clients what their wealth means both now and in the future. Whether I am working with a new client or an existing client, I always look to build the foundations of a financial plan by utilising cash flow modelling. This forms a strong foundation to create a clear, bespoke, and realistic financial planning strategy to enable clients to achieve their goals and objectives. I help my clients enjoy the lifestyle that they desire with the safe knowledge that their financial independence can and has been achieved. When I am not continuing my ongoing professional development, I enjoy live music and supporting Exeter Chiefs Rugby Club. Aside from music and rugby, I enjoy travelling, reading, and keeping active.
