A little bit about Nathan

I am a Financial Adviser based in the RG41 and KT7 areas, working in financial services since 2014. I don’t pretend to have seen everything, but I’ve seen enough to know that good financial planning doesn’t need to be complicated. I work with Quilter Financial Advisers, part of a FTSE 250 company, advising on pensions, investments and protection - clear plans, sensible decisions, and advice designed to hold up over time.

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.

Nathan's location

Wokingham and Kingston upon Thames
RG41
United Kingdom

Nathan is based in Wokingham and offers expert financial advice to suit your needs.

My approach to advice is simple: put the client first, always. That means listening before recommending, explaining before acting, and building plans that reflect real lives - not just financial models.

I believe good financial planning should provide clarity and confidence, not complexity. My role is to help clients understand their options around pensions, investments and protection, make informed decisions, and stay on track as circumstances change. Advice isn’t a one-off event - it’s an ongoing relationship built on trust, transparency, and consistency over time.

Financial Adviser based in the RG41 area and serving clients across Wokingham, KT6, KT7 and KT10, with experience in financial services since 2014. I provide restricted advice through Quilter Financial Advisers, who are part of a FTSE 250 company, advising on pensions, investments and protection with a focus on long-term outcomes.

Since entering the profession, I’ve worked across restricted, independent, appointed representative and directly authorised firms. This breadth of experience has shaped a practical, client-focused approach to financial planning - one that values clarity, structure and long-term thinking. I hold the Level 4 Diploma in Regulated Financial Planning (CII) and place strong emphasis on doing the fundamentals well.

I’m particularly motivated by helping people make confident decisions with their finances, especially when those decisions feel complex or unfamiliar. I’m passionate about financial education and believe advice should empower clients to understand their plans, not just sign off on them.

Before starting my career, I rowed at a high level for many years and was a Henley Royal Regatta finalist. That experience instilled a competitive mindset and an appreciation for discipline, preparation and consistency - principles that translate directly into effective financial planning and long-term wealth building.

Outside of work, I enjoy training on Zwift, watching live sport, gaming, and spending quality time with my family. Building strong financial foundations for my own family reinforces why I care so deeply about helping others do the same - supporting clients in Wokingham, Surbiton, Thames Ditton, Kingston and surrounding areas as they plan for the future with confidence.
