An adviser’s insight

Enjoy the feel-good factor of a financial spring clean

With the start of a new tax year, now is a great moment to take a little bit of time to get your finances in order and look ahead to the next 12 months and beyond.

I can help you take a fresh look at your finances and put a plan in place to help your money work hard for you over the next year. This can include ensuring that you’re maximising your new tax-free savings and gifting allowances.  

We can also consider any important updates to your circumstances, such as a pay rise or promotion, or changes to your family. 

Now is also a good time to review your longer-term goals and check in on your retirement savings. A cashflow model is an excellent way to do this as it can help to show how on track you are, if you need to make any adjustments, and the positive impact that even a few small changes made today can have on your finances over the long term.

Testimonials

Dinara O.

Professional, trustworthy and personable - how I can describe David to anyone. I met David at a networking event for freelancers. I've been looking at investing in my financial future for a while, but as a freelancer, I was approaching the subject with caution. I spoke to many financial firms and advisers, but none of them had the same level of attention and safety that David had. After just a few discovery calls, I've signed up for his services and already have two accounts open.

David walked me through every possible scenario of my financial future, and while I understand that risks are always high with investing, I feel adamant my finances are in good hands. David 'gets' your situation and offers appropriate advice, so don't postpone your financial freedom - speak to David!

Thomas G.

I’d highly recommend David to anyone, I found him extremely personable, and easy to work with. I initially engaged David’s services to set up something for my son’s future. He explained clearly at each stage, covering off what we were doing and why, and what would be next. We had an extremely thorough review of my situation and goals, and the outcome was a personalised recommendation.

I have been very happy with the performance of my son's account, and the Quilter App and Platform is user friendly. Since then, I have used David again to review and move my pension, and the service was as exemplary as the first time. I’ll be using him again shortly to look at mine and my families protection needs. Professional, transparent, efficient. 5/5.

Dave M.

Dave Waters has supported our family finances and property portfolio for a number of years. During this time, he has always provided us with an astute and logical approach. He is able to think laterally which has helped us to work towards our financial goals. Extremely personable and trustworthy, Dave understands what is important to people. I would not hesitate to recommend Dave Waters to any future employer or client.

More about me

I love meeting new people and growing relationships with those I already know. Further more, having a job focused on finding ways that I can help them and their family is possibly the best way to make a living I can think of! I know a lot of people might not view it that way, but when you strip everything else away, my sole purpose is to help people!

I believe that Financial Advice should be available to everyone, and a key part of my focus is ensuring that my clients understand everything that is happening, at each stage; transparency is paramount. I pride myself on really understanding my clients goals so that my advice puts them at the heart of everything I do. I love working closely with Professionals, Senior Level Employees, Business Owners and Entrepreneurs, to help them achieve their financial goals over the medium to long term.

I have built up a wealth of experience helping clients across a range of complex incomes and thrive on building genuine and meaningful relationships. My key areas of advice include tax efficient investments, general investments, pensions & retirement planning, protection, insurance solutions, Workplace pensions, & Group Protection policies.

Outside of work, I love spending time with my beautiful partner and getting out and exploring new things. My regular interests include Tennis, Golf, Clay pigeon shooting, Gaming, films, Food & Drink, and resistance training.
