Nicholas Allen

Financial Planner, ACSI in Kent

A little bit about Nicholas

I am a Financial Adviser who believes good financial advice should make your life feel simpler, not more complicated.

For me, the most important part of the job is getting to know the person sitting opposite me. Everyone has different priorities, worries and ideas about what they want their future to look like, so I don't believe financial planning should ever feel like a one-size-fits-all exercise.

I help clients with investments, pensions, retirement planning and protection, but quite often my role is simply being the person they can pick up the phone to when they have a financial question or a decision they want to talk through.

I like to explain things in plain English, answer the questions people sometimes feel they should already know the answer to, and make sure clients understand what we're doing and why we're doing it.

Ultimately, my job is to help people make good decisions with their money and feel more confident about the future they're building.

Financial advice is about more than managing money

When people think about financial advice, they often think about investments. But financial advice can support a much wider range of decisions, helping you plan confidently for the future and make the most of the opportunities available to you.

More support than many people realise

More support than many people realise

New research commissioned by Quilter and conducted by Boring Money found that many people understand how advisers like me can help with investments, but are less aware of the wider support available through professional financial planning.

As an adviser, I may be able to help with:

  • retirement planning
  • tax planning opportunities
  • pension consolidation
  • estate and legacy planning
  • financial planning through major life events
  • managing investments through changing market conditions.

Building confidence in your financial future

Financial decisions can feel complex at times, particularly as circumstances, legislation, and markets change.

If we work together, I can help you:

  • gain clarity over your options
  • understand opportunities available to you
  • stay focused on long-term goals
  • build a clear financial plan
  • make informed decisions with confidence.

If this sounds good to you, please get in touch.

Nicholas's location

Kent
CT20
United Kingdom

Nick is located in Folkestone and offers expert financial advice to suit your needs.

Outside of financial advice, cricket takes up an unreasonable amount of my life. I play every week during the summer and am Vice Chairman of my local club, although my enthusiasm for the game is increasingly greater than my body's enthusiasm for playing it.

I also spend plenty of my spare time in France, where my family has a campsite in Normandy. It's a great change of scenery and usually provides a long list of jobs that nobody mentioned before I arrived.

Away from that, I'm usually reading, watching far too many films or going to the theatre, despite possessing absolutely no artistic talent myself. I'm also fascinated by history and have accumulated enough books and historical oddities to suggest that particular interest isn't going away anytime soon.

I enjoy meeting interesting people, hearing how they ended up where they are and finding out what they want to do next. Fortunately, that turns out to be a fairly useful characteristic for a financial adviser.

What to expect

In advising you, I follow a simple and trusted 3 step process:

1. Free intro call to understand your needs

We will arrange a time to talk about your goals and plans.

2. Personalised plan

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.

3. On going check-ins, on your terms

I'll be there as your financial adviser to give you the support you need.
