If it’s time for financial advice, I can help you

Coming into a sum of money can be exciting and overwhelming at the same time, especially if it’s sudden or unexpected. And while you’re trying to process all the emotions involved, you’ll probably have to make some important financial decisions as well.

Whether you’ve received an inheritance, a windfall, or a lump sum from work, having an adviser to help guide you and make a sensible plan can take away some of the stress and worry so you can focus on the benefits.

I can help you understand all the different options available to you, taking advantage of any allowances so your money works as tax-efficiently as possible.

I can also help you adjust your financial plans or make completely new ones by showing you how the choices you make today could impact your future.

Together, we can put your money to work in a way that helps you feel confident about the future.

The best part of my role? Connecting with my clients by taking the time to learn their story, to understand the life they’ve built, the goals ahead of them, and their financial landscape. We talk all areas of life and finance over a coffee, and together we build a plan that helps turn those goals and dreams into a viable reality.

But I also know from personal experience that life doesn’t always go to plan. When a close family member faced a critical illness, it became clear to me just how important having the right financial support in place really is, often more than we realise.

That’s why I take the time to dive deep into your story and the life you’ve created, so that when life does take a turn, you know you’ve got someone in your corner and a plan that can stand up to whatever comes next.

Finance can feel overwhelming. My job is to simplify it. I want you to leave every meeting with me feeling in control of your money and confident about your future.

I follow a four-stage process, with you at the centre, every step of the way. Initially we will meet to simply get to know each other, talk about your situation, goals and what support you’re looking for. We will then move to a financial review and explore all areas of your finances to build a complete picture of where you are now. I will then apply my expertise to the information you provide, creating a tailored, targeted and tax-efficient financial plan designed around your needs, which delivers against your goals. Together we will then review your plan, continuing to work together, so when your life changes, the plan changes, ensuring that your money is always working for you.

I work remotely, however in a digital world, I believe in face to face advice and will always facilitate this, where practicable.

I haven't always been a Financial Planning Consultant. Previously, I served in the Royal Navy for 11 years, spending much of that time based in Portsmouth onboard Type 45 Destroyers. I was deployed globally, experienced diverse cultures, and worked in high-stakes environments, experiences that I believe make me a dynamic and well-rounded adviser.

The highlight of my military career was receiving the King’s Commendation for Valuable Service in 2025, following a deployment onboard HMS Diamond in 2024.

I understand the challenges that service personnel face and am passionate about improving financial well-being within both the serving and veteran communities.

My family is my biggest driver in everything I do. Outside the office, I’m a dad, partner, brother, son, and friend. I enjoy walks with our needy Cockapoo, staying fit so I can feel guilt-free when exploring new food venues with my fiancée, and catching up with my brothers and friends. I’m not your typical financial planner on the golf course, you’re more likely to find me ringside watching boxing or mixed martial arts.
