Could you be more financially savvy this tax year?

Graphic of people planning their investments

March, and spring more generally, is often a time for fresh starts. And now your tax allowances are getting one too. The new tax year begins on 6 April, giving you time to plan how you’ll use all those new allowances to your advantage.

Take your ISA allowance. It can be tempting to leave it until the last minute to use it up. But, if you’re able to pay into it at the beginning of the year, you’re potentially getting a whole extra 12 months of time for your savings to grow.

A review right at the start of the tax year, or just before it, can also help us spot if there are any tax incentives you could use throughout the year.

You might be surprised just how many people don’t do this - and miss out on money that’s rightfully theirs. These tax incentives can be things like increasing your pension contributions or charitable giving to help offset your income tax.

I can also draw up a cashflow model to bring this to life. The model allows us to explore and compare different strategies and scenarios, so you can see the difference it will make to your long-term finances and goals.

If you want to find out more about the savvy financial strategies I could help you with this tax year, feel free to get in touch.

Josh listened to my circumstances, applied his knowledge and wisdom, presented me with options and didn't put any pressure on me!!

Andrea S

Josh was great in providing a service, without coming across like just a salesman and offering deals that he would financially benefit from. I liked his soft approach and keeping in touch without being pushy. For this reason I will always go to back to him.

Josh Martin helped me by asking the right questions. He was patient and made me think about what I wanted for my family's future. His calm and charismatic nature was pleasant to deal with and he helped me achieve a holistic strategy within our means. He's really helped our family plan for the present and future.

Julian D

He did an amazing job. Not only did Josh provide exceptional guidance during the initial consultation, but he also went above and beyond to ensure that I fully understood the terms of the policy and how it would benefit me in the event of loss of income. Josh was incredibly patient and attentive, taking the time to explain all the intricacies of the insurance options available to me. His depth of knowledge in the field was evident, and he was able to answer all of my questions thoroughly, leaving me feeling confident in my decision.

Marco

I approached Joshua because I am a self-employed small business owner who wants to ensure my financial position is secure. We discussed pension consolidation, insurance options, and a savings plan. I liked that Josh seemed genuinely interested in my goals and aspirations. I also greatly appreciated his friendly manner, and I am thankful for Joshua's advice. Highly recommended!
