An adviser’s insight
Aim to maximise your cash savings
It might shock you to know that 28% of people hold their cash in interest-free savings accounts(1), receiving no return on their hard-earned money. Because under current rules a basic rate taxpayer can earn up to £1,000 in interest from their savings without paying tax, these people could be missing out on a significant financial boost that they could be enjoying.
This is even more relevant when you consider that the average person typically holds up to 25% of their available money on cash deposit(2). So, by reviewing your cash and tackling any ‘lazy money’, you’ll be making a great start at getting your finances in shape and achieving longer-term financial security.
If your money isn’t working as hard as it could, I can help. By making it easy to access potentially better interest rates, I can help you to aim to maximise your cash savings – giving you more money to spend on the things you enjoy or helping you grow your money towards a longer-term goal.

More about me
I've been in the financial services industry since my early 20s and am proud to have helped with thousands of financial plans.
Whether it's saving for your first home, investing for the future or preparing for retirement I can take you through the things you need to think about and make sure that your finances are supporting you to achieve your goals.
People who work with me tell me the thing they appreciate the most is the peace of mind knowing that their plans are on track and they have someone keeping an eye out for anything that could change that.
When I'm not working with clients, you can most often find me in the local markets looking for ingredients, or in my kitchen cooking them up for my partner and our new daughter.
