Nikita Stepanov

Financial Planning Consultant ACSI in London

A little bit about Nikita

I’m dedicated to helping professionals, entrepreneurs, and business owners feel more confident on their investing journey. I specialise in investment, tax planning, protection planning (personal and business), and retirement strategies - always tailoring my approach to your unique goals and circumstances.

My work isn’t just about numbers, it’s about creating clarity and peace of mind. I’ve seen how the right financial strategy can lift a weight off my clients’ shoulders, giving them the freedom to focus on what really matters in their lives and businesses.

As an Associate Member of the Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment, holding the Level 4 Investment Advice Diploma, I bring both technical expertise and a collaborative mindset to every plan. I’ll work alongside you to design strategies that not only support your ambitions but also give you confidence in your financial future.

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.

Nikita's location

E14
London
United Kingdom

Nikita is based in London and offers expert financial advice to suit your needs.

Having run my own business, I understand firsthand the challenges that individuals and entrepreneurs face when balancing growth with financial security. This experience has given me a unique perspective on where people often need the most support - whether it’s protecting their business, making tax-efficient decisions, or planning for the future.

My approach starts with a simple conversation - an opportunity to understand your circumstances, priorities, and aspirations. From there, I carry out a comprehensive review of your finances, ensuring no stone is left unturned. The outcome is a tailored, tax-efficient financial plan designed to support you at every stage of life. I enjoy building long-term relationships, guiding clients through the ups and downs of their financial journey, and ensuring they make the right decisions at the right time. Whether you are an entrepreneur, a business owner, or a private individual looking to secure your family’s financial future, my role is to simplify the complex and provide clarity, so you can focus on what matters most to you.

Outside of work, I value time with my family and enjoy playing tennis and cycling. When my wife and I travel, I never pass up an opportunity to scuba dive.
