Financial Planning Consultant DipPFS in Guildford
I help people build strong financial foundations so they can aim to grow their business, their family or their legacy, with clarity and certainty. My path spans the startup world, government policy, and now financial advice, so I understand irregular income, reinvestment over pay, and carrying responsibility for others. Becoming a parent sharpened that: money stopped being about the next few months and became about the next few decades. That's the lens I bring to my clients.

Money doesn’t make decisions on its own. Left sitting in cash, it quietly loses value. That’s why money needs a plan. It’s not about being wealthy or knowing all the answers – it’s about giving your money direction. And in the UK, many people miss out simply because they don’t take that first step.

Katrina is located in Guildford and offers expert financial advice to suit your needs.
Before moving into financial advice I worked in the startup ecosystem, first as an entrepreneur, later in government policy. I've built things from scratch, and I know what it's like to have irregular income, to reinvest instead of paying yourself, and to carry the financial responsibility not just for yourself but for everyone counting on you.
I'm a parent and former founder, so I know what it means to plan for a future that’s not just about you. When my son was born, my relationship with money changed completely. My timeline stopped being about the next few months and started being about the next few decades. I wanted to build a secure, durable future which gives me peace of mind and gives him a bright start in life.
That’s why I am a Quilter Financial Adviser : we are driven by the same mission, "Brighter Financial Futures for Every Generation". I want to help my clients build financial security that cascades through their families, from the oldest generation to the youngest.
I've seen what happens when people put off their own finances while they're busy prioritising everything else, a business, a family, a career. The cost of that delay is rarely obvious until it's too late to close the gap easily. In a nutshell, I simply love helping hard-working people build tailored plans for their future that makes the most of their money.
I spend most of my free time in the glorious outdoors. I like running, climbing hills, and playing tennis badly.
In advising you, I follow a simple and trusted 3 step process:
We will arrange a time to talk about your goals and plans.
I'll prepare a tailored plan which always takes full account of your goals, and gives you the steps and expert support from me to get there. All explained simply.
I'll be there as your financial adviser to give you the support you need.
