Can the right protection help you become more financially resilient?

Have you heard of the ‘protection gap’? You probably know someone who’s fallen into it.

Most of us know to get travel or pet insurance, or even just insure our mobile phone. But when it comes to really big life events, cover can easily get overlooked – causing a gap.

Far too many people aren’t properly protected against life-changing events, like losing their job or not being able to work because they’ve fallen ill. Which means that when these things do happen, they can have a much bigger impact than they need to.

Luckily, cover like income protection and critical illness can help people become more financially resilient. So, if you do have a financial shock, it doesn’t have to turn everything upside down. And it can be surprisingly simple and affordable.

If you’ve had a big milestone recently, or a change in your circumstances, it might be the right time to relook at your protection needs.

Reach out to me and I’ll be happy to help.

Prior to qualifying as a Financial Adviser and becoming Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) registered, I advanced in a successful career as a Chartered Accountant in finance leadership roles, working across complex organisations and international operations. My background includes senior accounting roles where I led teams, managed multi-entity finances, financial reporting, finance operations & strategy; and implemented key projects and accounting systems. This experience brings an extra layer of insight and rigour to the advice I provide.

I also hold an MBA from the University of Bath and an MSc Investment Management from Henley Business School - University of Reading. These set me apart as a robust finance professional with breadth of knowledge and expertise to support both individuals and corporations.

This blend of professional and academic excellence with real-world experience enables clients to benefit from strong technical knowledge as well as the friendly, personal touch I bring to financial advice. My focus is to provide easy-to-understand guidance and efficient solutions to the financial issues that matter most to them.

Whether supporting individuals, families, businesses or organisations, my goal is to build trusted relationships and empower every client with clear tailored strategies towards achieving their desired financial future.

I am married with three lovely children. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, cooking up a feast, gardening, taking nature walks with my husband, travelling and volunteering.

I look forward to hearing from you and supporting you through your financial journey.
