Aim to maximise your cash savings

It might shock you to know that 28% of people hold their cash in interest-free savings accounts⁽¹⁾, receiving no return on their hard-earned money. Because under current rules a basic rate taxpayer can earn up to £1,000 in interest from their savings without paying tax, these people could be missing out on a significant financial boost that they could be enjoying.

This is even more relevant when you consider that the average person typically holds up to 25% of their available money on cash deposit⁽²⁾. So, by reviewing your cash and tackling any ‘lazy money’, you’ll be making a great start at getting your finances in shape and achieving longer-term financial security.

If your money isn’t working as hard as it could, I can help. By making it easy to access potentially better interest rates, I can help you to aim to maximise your cash savings – giving you more money to spend on the things you enjoy or helping you grow your money towards a longer-term goal.

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.
