What is cashflow modelling?

It’s the unknown that makes planning for the future difficult. Your life is full of lots of choices that can impact your financial situation. So how can you look all the way ahead to your later life with any kind of certainty?

This is where cashflow modelling comes in. Essentially, it’s a tool used by advisers like me to get an idea of how your financial future could look. I put in lots of data about you and your financial circumstances, and that lets me predict what could happen, and compare different scenarios against each other.

It means we can do things like: see whether you can afford to gift your grandchildren money towards their education, gauge whether your finances will last you into retirement, or understand whether you need to make some changes to achieve your goals.

Let me know if you think cashflow modelling could help you.

Financial advice can feel daunting but it doesn’t have to be. I’m a financial adviser Quilter Financial Advisers, focused on helping people gain confidence and clarity around their money - whether they’re planning for retirement, aiming to step onto the property ladder, or looking to make their investments more efficient.

What I enjoy most is solving problems and being there when it matters. I genuinely care about my clients and take pride in going the extra mile - whether that’s crafting a tailored financial plan or sending a thoughtful message they didn’t expect. If someone gives me the opportunity to hear their story, I see it as my responsibility to prove that they made the right choice in trusting me. My belief is that financial advice should feel reassuring, not overwhelming. It’s not just about money - it’s about understanding people, meeting them where they are, and showing empathy without judgment. I want clients to feel supported, comfortable asking questions, and confident that they're being looked after with honesty and expertise.

With CeMAP and CeRER qualifications, along with a degree in business and finance, I combine technical insight with a compassionate, down-to-earth style. And when I’m not advising, you’ll probably find me playing chess, unwinding in nature, or bingeing a good series.

Whether you're based in London, Brighton, or anywhere in between (or beyond), I'm here to help you feel confident about your finances. From retirement planning and tax efficiency to property goals and smart investments - I offer clear, tailored advice that fits your life. We can meet face-to-face or online, whichever works best for you. Get in touch today to start a conversation that puts your financial goals first.
