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.

As a qualified Financial Adviser with the CII Diploma in Regulated Financial Planning (DipPFS), I work closely with clients to create bespoke financial plans that align with their goals, values, and life stages. My advice spans areas such as investment planning, pensions, protection, and tax efficiency - all delivered with a focus on building trust and long-term relationships.

Before becoming a financial adviser, I built my career in fund services, where I gained valuable experience working behind the scenes in areas involving pensions and investments. This background gave me a solid understanding of how the financial world works - knowledge I now use to break down complex topics and provide clear, practical advice. I enjoy helping clients feel confident and in control of their finances, no matter their starting point.

Outside of work, I’m passionate about the outdoors and am currently on a personal mission to climb all 282 Munros in Scotland. I also enjoy playing badminton and scuba diving, and I’m a certified Divemaster. I believe that, like any great adventure, successful financial planning starts with a clear map and the right guide.
