Gifts that give back

Graphic of people exchanging gifts

December is often seen as the gifting season. But alongside the usual socks and chocolate gold coins, it might be worth planning a slightly bigger, longer-term present for your loved ones this year.

Inheritance tax (IHT) is notoriously complicated and can hit people with a big bill if it isn’t managed properly. It isn’t reserved for the very wealthy either. Dealing with IHT is a reality that many more families face after a loved one has passed - in what is usually an extremely vulnerable moment.

This is where using your gifting allowances can make a real impact on those around you. It’s a great way to share your wealth with the people you love while limiting their exposure to IHT. It does take a little bit of extra planning though.

Sitting down with an adviser like me can help you figure out where you want your money to go, and when. For instance, it might be more helpful to gift a family member a contribution towards their first home now, rather than leaving them a legacy.

Whatever you decide is best, we’ll find the most tax efficient way to do it.

My expertise spans investment planning, retirement strategies, inheritance tax solutions, and protection for both personal and business clients. What drives me is the profound impact that tailored, well-informed financial advice can have on securing a client’s future. The value of professional financial advice lies in its ability to transform complexity into opportunity.

Every client has unique aspirations - whether it’s building wealth, planning for a comfortable retirement, or safeguarding their family’s financial security. My approach begins with listening, ensuring I fully understand your goals, circumstances, and concerns. From there, I craft personalised strategies that are not only actionable but also adaptable to life’s inevitable changes. This bespoke guidance empowers clients to make informed decisions, providing peace of mind that their financial future is in capable hands.

Good financial advice does more than just solve problems - it unlocks potential. By simplifying intricate concepts like tax-efficient investments or pension planning, I help clients feel confident and in control. My role is to demystify the financial landscape, offering clear, jargon-free insights that align with your priorities. Whether it’s optimising your portfolio, mitigating tax liabilities, or ensuring your business is protected, my advice is designed to deliver measurable value, saving you time, reducing stress, and aims to maximise your financial outcomes.

Beyond the office, I’m an enthusiastic sportsman and football fan, with a strong commitment to health and fitness through regular gym sessions. My active lifestyle, fueled by a love for sports, music, and film, keeps me energised and brings a dynamic perspective to my work.
