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.

Joanne's location

Manchester
United Kingdom

Joanne is located in Manchester and offers expert financial advice in all over the UK including London

Since graduating from university in 2003, I’ve built a fulfilling career in financial services. I began as a mortgage and protection adviser, then progressed to becoming a Financial Planning Consultant in 2009. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with a wide range of clients - including families, business owners, company directors, and individuals approaching or enjoying retirement.

I believe financial planning should feel empowering, not overwhelming. That’s why my approach is friendly, honest, and down-to-earth. I explain everything clearly, avoiding jargon, and work closely with you to develop a straightforward, personalised plan that evolves with your life. I support clients in a variety of life stages and financial scenarios, such as:

  • Families building wealth for the future
  • Newly promoted professionals wanting to grow their finances wisely
  • Business owners and directors looking for efficient profit extraction
  • Individuals managing inheritances or planning for care fees
  • Employers dealing with auto-enrolment and workplace pension duties

Every client is different, so I tailor my advice to reflect your values, circumstances, and goals. Whether you're focused on securing your family’s future, planning a business exit, or preparing for later-life care, I use tools like cashflow forecasting to help you make clear, confident decisions. More than just technical expertise, I aim to offer long-term support and peace of mind - helping you stay on track, whatever life brings.

I offer expert advice across the full spectrum of financial planning. My areas of focus include:

  • Pensions and investments
  • Tax-efficient strategies
  • Business financial planning including auto-enrolment guidance
  • Mortgages and protection

*Auto Enrolment is not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
