With the start of a new tax year, now is a great moment to take a little bit of time to get your finances in order and look ahead to the next 12 months and beyond.

I can help you take a fresh look at your finances and put a plan in place to help your money work hard for you over the next year. This can include ensuring that you’re maximising your new tax-free savings and gifting allowances.  

We can also consider any important updates to your circumstances, such as a pay rise or promotion, or changes to your family. 

Now is also a good time to review your longer-term goals and check in on your retirement savings. A cashflow model is an excellent way to do this as it can help to show how on track you are, if you need to make any adjustments, and the positive impact that even a few small changes made today can have on your finances over the long term.

Lingyu's location

Cambridge
United Kingdom

Lingyu is located in Cambridge and offers expert financial advice covering up to a 100-mile radius, including London.

With a master’s degree from Strathclyde Business School and the Diploma for Financial Advisers (DipFA), I bring both a strong academic foundation and practical expertise to my role as a financial adviser. I also hold the CeMAP qualification in Mortgage Advice, enabling me to provide tailored advice on residential and buy-to-let mortgages, whether in personal names or through Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs).

I’m passionate about helping families and individuals navigate every aspect of wealth planning - from preserving and growing assets through tax-efficient strategies, to preparing for a secure retirement, and ensuring loved ones are financially protected. My priority is to create personalised financial plans that reflect each client’s goals and values, while ensuring they are regularly reviewed and adapted as life evolves. I pride myself on delivering advice that is clear, honest, and practical - whether in person or online.

Using cutting-edge financial planning software, I help clients visualise their future through bespoke models and scenario planning, empowering them to make confident, informed decisions. I also work closely with accountants and legal professionals to provide a seamless, holistic service. Building long-term relationships based on trust and open communication is at the heart of my approach. My aim is for every client to feel supported, fully informed, and in control of their financial future.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our two children. I'm also an enthusiastic cook with a love for global cuisines. I find joy in experimenting with new recipes and learning about different cultures through their food - a passion I love to share with friends and family. I live in Cambridge and split my time advising clients locally, as well as in the Senator House office in the City of London.
