Aim to maximise your cash savings

It might shock you to know that 28% of people hold their cash in interest-free savings accounts⁽¹⁾, receiving no return on their hard-earned money. Because under current rules a basic rate taxpayer can earn up to £1,000 in interest from their savings without paying tax, these people could be missing out on a significant financial boost that they could be enjoying.

This is even more relevant when you consider that the average person typically holds up to 25% of their available money on cash deposit⁽²⁾. So, by reviewing your cash and tackling any ‘lazy money’, you’ll be making a great start at getting your finances in shape and achieving longer-term financial security.

If your money isn’t working as hard as it could, I can help. By making it easy to access potentially better interest rates, I can help you to aim to maximise your cash savings – giving you more money to spend on the things you enjoy or helping you grow your money towards a longer-term goal.

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.
