Financial Adviser DipPFS in Hampshire

A little bit about Lisa

I've always been fascinated by people's stories - where they've come from, what they want from life and how a good plan can help turn those ambitions into reality. I combine the analytical thinking developed over 30 years in tax, finance and project delivery with a warm, approachable style.

I provide financial planning for professionals, business owners and families dividing my time between Hampshire and London.

Money needs a plan. Here’s where to start

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.

  • Most people in the UK save sporadically or leave money sitting in cash – missing out on growth.
  • Planning gives peace of mind. It turns uncertainty into clarity.
  • The earlier you start, the more powerful the impact – but it’s never too late.
  • Quilter’s purpose is to help build brighter financial futures. That starts with a plan.
  • Investing always carries risk. Investing can help your money grow over time, but the value of investments can go down as well as up.

Making your money work for you

Why investing matters

  • Lazy money loses value over time – inflation chips away at it.
  • Investing little and often helps your money grow without needing to be an expert.
  • A plan helps you stay focused and avoid reactive decisions.

Inflation and ‘lazy money’

  • Inflation quietly erodes the value of your savings.
  • £10,000 in cash today could be worth significantly less in 10 years.
  • Investing helps protect your money from inflation and grow it over time.

Diploma in Regulated Financial Planning

  • The Level 4 Diploma in Regulated Financial Planning from the Chartered Insurance Institute develops core technical and initial financial planning understanding.

I believe good financial planning isn't just about money - it's about giving you the confidence, freedom and peace of mind to live the life you want.
After spending more than 30 years working across finance, tax consultancy and project delivery, I realised the part of my career I enjoyed most wasn't simply solving complex problems—it was helping people think about their future and creating a plan to help them achieve it. Becoming a financial adviser allowed me to combine my technical experience with something I genuinely care about—helping people build the future they want.

The best part of my role is getting to know my clients. Everyone has their own story, ambitions and concerns, and I believe good financial planning starts with understanding the life you've built, where you'd like to go next and what matters most to you. My role isn't simply to recommend financial products—it's to help you make informed decisions that support the life you want to live.

People usually come to me because they want clarity and reassurance. They may be building wealth, planning for retirement, running a business, wanting to make their investments work harder or simply wondering whether they're making the best financial decisions. Others want to make the most of available tax allowances, organise finances that have become increasingly complex or ensure their wealth is passed on efficiently to future generations. Whatever your circumstances, my aim is to simplify the complex and provide clear, practical advice that's tailored to your goals.

Outside work, you'll usually find me at the gym, hiking, sailing or planning my next adventure. Having spent many years living and working in London, I've built a wonderfully diverse network of friends and professional contacts from all walks of life. More recently I've been putting down roots in Hampshire, where I'm enjoying becoming part of the local community through my gym, sailing, volunteering and an ever-growing circle of friends. When I'm not working, I'm happiest spending time with my partner and our miniature dachshund, exploring the countryside and sharing good food and wine with friends.

Thank you for taking the time to read a little about me. Choosing a financial adviser is an important decision, and I hope this has given you a sense of who I am and how I work. If you're looking for someone who will take the time to understand what's important to you, explain things clearly and support you over the long term, I'd love the opportunity to meet you.
