Financial advice is about more than managing money

When people think about financial advice, they often think about investments. But financial advice can support a much wider range of decisions, helping you plan confidently for the future and make the most of the opportunities available to you.

More support than many people realise

More support than many people realise

New research commissioned by Quilter and conducted by Boring Money found that many people understand how advisers like me can help with investments, but are less aware of the wider support available through professional financial planning.

As an adviser, I may be able to help with:

  • retirement planning
  • tax planning opportunities
  • pension consolidation
  • estate and legacy planning
  • financial planning through major life events
  • managing investments through changing market conditions.

Building confidence in your financial future

Financial decisions can feel complex at times, particularly as circumstances, legislation, and markets change.

If we work together, I can help you:

  • gain clarity over your options
  • understand opportunities available to you
  • stay focused on long-term goals
  • build a clear financial plan
  • make informed decisions with confidence.

If this sounds good to you, please get in touch.

Diploma in Investment Advice

  • The Diploma in Investment Advice provides a sound grounding in UK financial services and consumer relationships, including exchange traded futures and options and financial protection.

My approach is centred on you. I believe outstanding financial advice comes from combining deep technical expertise with a genuinely personal, client-focused service. From our first conversation through every stage of your journey, I make myself available to ensure you feel supported, informed, and confident in the decisions you’re making.

I began my career in financial services in 2014 after completing a Master’s degree in Financial and Applied Economics at the University of Nottingham. I went on to gain extensive investment experience, spending three years as a Fund Manager Assistant within the Multi-Asset team at Schroders, before joining Sarasin & Partners as an Investment Manager and Implementation Analyst within their Portfolio Management team.

Alongside my professional experience, I hold multiple industry qualifications, including the Investment Management Certificate and the Diploma in Investment Advice (Financial Planning & Advice). I am also a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) candidate, having passed the comprehensive Level I exam at the first attempt.

What truly sets my approach apart is my focus on understanding you. I also hold a Level 2 qualification in Counselling Skills, which enhances my ability to listen carefully, understand your goals, values, and concerns, and translate them into clear, practical advice and a robust financial plan tailored to your life.

Outside of my day to day work I enjoy bringing people together, whether that’s a BBQ on a hot summers day or other various community meetups and events. I enjoy playing and watching football and I also serve in my community church.
