In my spare time, I am very musical, playing the piano and singing opera, and enjoy all the perks that living in Cornwall has to offer.
In this short video, I’ll share a bit about me, and my experience.

An adviser’s insight
Gifts that give back
December is often seen as the gifting season. But alongside the usual socks and chocolate gold coins, it might be worth planning a slightly bigger, longer-term present for your loved ones this year.
Inheritance tax (IHT) is notoriously complicated and can hit people with a big bill if it isn’t managed properly. It isn’t reserved for the very wealthy either. Dealing with IHT is a reality that many more families face after a loved one has passed - in what is usually an extremely vulnerable moment.
This is where using your gifting allowances can make a real impact on those around you. It’s a great way to share your wealth with the people you love while limiting their exposure to IHT. It does take a little bit of extra planning though.
Sitting down with an adviser like me can help you figure out where you want your money to go, and when. For instance, it might be more helpful to gift a family member a contribution towards their first home now, rather than leaving them a legacy.
Whatever you decide is best, we’ll find the most tax efficient way to do it.

Testimonials
Melanie S.
Jess was amazingly helpful in sorting out my pensions. She streamlined the pension planning I already had and helped me come up with a solid plan of how to achieve my goal of retiring early. I felt conscious approaching a Financial Adviser as I thought they would judge my lack of knowledge and experience but Jess couldn’t have been more different. She took the time to learn what was important to me and clearly outline how she could help me achieve it. I felt respected and supported at every turn. Thanks again Jess for all your help.
Katy H.

I can’t recommend Jess enough! As someone that finds even the thought of financial planning stressful Jess put me at ease and explained everything clearly and calmly. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again in the future.
