What is cashflow modelling?

It’s the unknown that makes planning for the future difficult. Your life is full of lots of choices that can impact your financial situation. So how can you look all the way ahead to your later life with any kind of certainty?

This is where cashflow modelling comes in. Essentially, it’s a tool used by advisers like me to get an idea of how your financial future could look. I put in lots of data about you and your financial circumstances, and that lets me predict what could happen, and compare different scenarios against each other.

It means we can do things like: see whether you can afford to gift your grandchildren money towards their education, gauge whether your finances will last you into retirement, or understand whether you need to make some changes to achieve your goals.

Let me know if you think cashflow modelling could help you.

I have been in the industry since 2000 when I joined Friends Provident in Salisbury. Since then, I have gained valuable industry experience in a multitude of roles, including spending time as a Paraplanner within a national advice firm, writing technical client facing reports before I moved into my current role as a Financial Adviser.

I hold the Diploma in Financial Planning, and my aim is to help clients to achieve their goals by providing expert advice in all areas of financial planning including pensions, investments, protection and tax planning. I will always take time to ensure that you receive help and support in a professional, easy to understand manner. I have a passion for providing quality advice and a first-class service, and I hope that you’ll see me as your first point of contact for all your financial planning needs.

I am married with two children and live in Salisbury. In my spare time, I enjoy photography, keeping fit and spending time with friends and family.
