Financial Planning Consultant DipPFS in Romford

A little bit about Bhavesh

With nearly 20 years of investment banking experience at firms like Barclays, JP Morgan, and Standard Chartered, I’m passionate about helping people achieve financial independence.

Having retired by 39, I now use my expertise, backed by a Diploma in Regulated Financial Planning from the Chartered Insurance Institute, to guide clients through wealth management, protection, retirement planning, and wealth preservation. My goal is simple: to build long-term relationships based on trust, transparency, and advice I’d give to my own family. Together, we’ll create a plan to help you live fully today while securing your future.

Financial advice is about more than managing money

When people think about financial advice, they often think about investments. But financial advice can support a much wider range of decisions, helping you plan confidently for the future and make the most of the opportunities available to you.

More support than many people realise

More support than many people realise

New research commissioned by Quilter and conducted by Boring Money found that many people understand how advisers like me can help with investments, but are less aware of the wider support available through professional financial planning.

As an adviser, I may be able to help with:

  • retirement planning
  • tax planning opportunities
  • pension consolidation
  • estate and legacy planning
  • financial planning through major life events
  • managing investments through changing market conditions.

Building confidence in your financial future

Financial decisions can feel complex at times, particularly as circumstances, legislation, and markets change.

If we work together, I can help you:

  • gain clarity over your options
  • understand opportunities available to you
  • stay focused on long-term goals
  • build a clear financial plan
  • make informed decisions with confidence.

If this sounds good to you, please get in touch.

Bhavesh – Guiding You Toward Financial Freedom.

With nearly two decades of investment banking experience, I’ve honed a deep understanding of finance. But beyond numbers and spreadsheets, I’ve always been driven by the desire to push boundaries, both personally and professionally. Having achieved financial independence by 39, I’m now passionate about helping others shape their financial futures with the same determination and focus.

I’ve faced challenges beyond the financial world—whether it’s climbing Mt. Blanc, cycling from London to Paris, or sailing across the Atlantic from Rio de Janeiro to Cape Town.

These adventures have taught me resilience, planning, and adaptability—qualities that I bring into every client relationship. Whether you’re just getting started with a young family or preparing for retirement, I offer holistic financial planning that covers wealth management, business and personal protection, retirement planning, and wealth preservation. I believe in empowering you to live fully today while securing a prosperous future.

My approach is simple: I only recommend solutions that I’d suggest for my own family. I’m committed to building long-term relationships, offering advice grounded in trust, transparency, and care. The financial strategies I provide are designed to support your individual goals, so you can live the life you envision.

I hold a first-class degree in Mathematics, am a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants, and hold a Diploma in Regulated Financial Planning from the Chartered Insurance Institute. Numbers have always been my strength, and applying the same principles I’ve learned throughout my career, I help clients achieve financial security, independence, and peace of mind.

In an era where financial literacy is low, and social media is filled with misleading advice, I’m passionate about educating and guiding my clients through complex financial decisions. I want to help you make informed choices that align with your values and life’s purpose. While I am compensated for my services, my true motivation comes from my love for this work. Financial planning, for me, is about making a meaningful impact, and my accessible pricing reflects that commitment.
