A little bit about James

I began my career in wealth management in 2023, after graduating from university with a first-class honours degree in BSc Economics. Since joining Quilter Financial Advisers I have obtained my Diploma in Regulated Financial Planning. Recognising the importance of financial confidence I build strong relationships, making sure that I best help my clients in making well-informed financial decisions, supporting a secure and enjoyable future. I work closely with families, individuals and business owners, and ensure that my advice is tailored to you. Outside of work I enjoy keeping fit, and you will often find me playing sport or in the gym. I also completed my first half-marathon in 2025, raising money for the amazing Spread Your Wings UK charity.

What is cashflow modelling?

It’s the unknown that makes planning for the future difficult. Your life is full of lots of choices that can impact your financial situation. So how can you look all the way ahead to your later life with any kind of certainty?

This is where cashflow modelling comes in. Essentially, it’s a tool used by advisers like me to get an idea of how your financial future could look. I put in lots of data about you and your financial circumstances, and that lets me predict what could happen, and compare different scenarios against each other.

It means we can do things like: see whether you can afford to gift your grandchildren money towards their education, gauge whether your finances will last you into retirement, or understand whether you need to make some changes to achieve your goals.

Let me know if you think cashflow modelling could help you.

Diploma in Regulated Financial Planning

  • The Level 4 Diploma in Regulated Financial Planning from the Chartered Insurance Institute develops core technical and initial financial planning understanding.

Certificate in Mortgage Advice

  • The Certificate in Mortgage Advice (Level 3) meets the FCA standards for mortgage advisers. It develops an understanding of the sector and the mortgage process, and enables advisers to meet individual client needs.

Since I began in wealth management, I’ve been passionate about helping people navigate their finances with confidence. My degree in economics sparked my interest in breaking down financial topics and making things clear and approachable for others - something I’ve carried with me as an adviser. I’m committed to ongoing learning. Achieving my Diploma has given me the tools and knowledge I need to offer bespoke, up-to-date advice, whether I’m working with families planning for the future, entrepreneurs growing their businesses, or anyone simply looking for financial peace of mind. My main aim is to build relationships based on trust, honesty and straightforward communication.

Outside of work I stay active; I’m often either at the gym or out playing sports. Taking on my first half-marathon in 2025 to raise money for Spread Your Wings UK was a real highlight for me. I enjoy giving back when I can - whether it’s helping locally or supporting people in making smart choices that last. If you’re curious about my approach, what drives me, or how I might be able to help you with your financial goals, I’m always happy to chat.
