A little bit about David
I bring over five years of experience in financial planning, with a background that includes supporting clients in France with both domestic financial solutions and cross-border planning. Having recently returned to the UK as my daughter prepared to start school, I’m excited to assist clients here in achieving their financial goals and building secure futures.

An adviser’s insight
If it’s time for financial advice, I can help you
Coming into a sum of money can be exciting and overwhelming at the same time, especially if it’s sudden or unexpected. And while you’re trying to process all the emotions involved, you’ll probably have to make some important financial decisions as well.
Whether you’ve received an inheritance, a windfall, or a lump sum from work, having an adviser to help guide you and make a sensible plan can take away some of the stress and worry so you can focus on the benefits.
I can help you understand all the different options available to you, taking advantage of any allowances so your money works as tax-efficiently as possible.
I can also help you adjust your financial plans or make completely new ones by showing you how the choices you make today could impact your future.
Together, we can put your money to work in a way that helps you feel confident about the future.
