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.

I have over 10 years of experience in the financial industry, including 5 years as an Investment Analyst & Portfolio Manager with HSBC, where I co-managed $500m of private client money across multi-asset portfolios (equities, bonds, hedge funds, property, commodities).

I also have extensive experience as a business coach & consultant, where I built strong connections with my clients and helped them to better understand their challenges, and then to execute strategies to overcome them and achieve the goals and aspirations most important to them.

The area of finances is a difficult one for many, and for a number of different reasons. My aim is to not only be your source of knowledge and support with your personal financial matters, but also to be a pillar of support throughout your life. Together, we will work to ensure you are protected from financial risks in life and put you in the best position to achieve the goals most meaningful to you. I can build a cash-flow forecast model which will help to keep you on track both now and in the future, allowing us to make adjustments to your plan as circumstances change as they invariably do. I will help to give you peace of mind, knowing that your personalised financial plan is in place, enabling you to make informed decisions and enjoy life with less worry about finances.

In my personal life I like to be active, going on walks in nature, and playing tennis, golf, and basketball. I love to spend time with my family, and our young twin boys and little doggie definitely keep us entertained. I really enjoy producing music and find it very meditative. I am also fascinated by psychology and personal development.
