Tackle tax year end with confidence

Tax rules can seem pretty impenetrable. With the new Budget, and so many different allowances and regulations to keep up with, it’s no wonder millions of us end up accidentally missing opportunities.

In this case, ignorance really isn’t bliss. And by confidently preparing for tax year end, you can be sure you’re getting all the money you’re entitled to - whether that’s by saving as much as you can tax-efficiently or just using your allowances to their full extent.

I can go through your financial position with you, so you’re ready for tax year end on 5 April. Together we can make this tax year end something to celebrate, rather than pass by. Get in touch for your tax year end review or a cashflow modelling session to understand your financial position better.

More about me

Before becoming a Financial Planner I had various roles with financial companies and banks. I was then a Mortgage and Protection Adviser for the last 5 years.

Outside of work I have many interests. I enjoy art (although I am not an artist myself), theatre and cinema. I spend a lot of time meeting up with friends and my extended family. I enjoy swimming, pilates and travelling and my dream is to go back to Canada and visit Alaska.
