Financial Planning Consultant DipPFS in Bath
I’m Sam, a financial adviser based in the beautiful city of Bath. My goal is simple: to help you make the most of your money with clarity, confidence, and purpose - whatever life stage you're at.
I work closely with individuals and families to create financial plans that truly reflect their goals and values. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach here - just thoughtful, realistic strategies designed around you.
Whether you're planning for retirement, looking to invest, or want to make sure your family is protected, I’ll be there to guide you every step of the way. Building long-term, trusted relationships is at the heart of what I do, and I believe that financial planning should feel empowering, not overwhelming.
Let’s have a conversation about what matters most to you and how we can make your money work its hardest for you.
In the UK, there’s an estimated £26.6bn1 in lost or forgotten pensions. That means the average UK worker is missing as much as £28k2 from their retirement money. But there’s good news - this kind of financial hit is completely avoidable.
This one might seem obvious, but it’s easy to lose track of your pension pots, where they are, and what they’re doing. If you make a note of your pension providers, and check your pot(s) regularly, you’re far less likely to lose one of them over time.
Your investment allocation is where and how you’re investing your pension. Often, people will just use their pension provider’s default setting. But this might not actually be right for your retirement goals and risk profile. So, it’s a good idea to revisit this every few years.
If you’ve had a windfall recently, like a pay rise, bonus, or inheritance, putting a portion of it into your pension is a good idea. Not only is it tax-efficient, but you’ll be glad when your retirement comes around.
As an adviser, my role is to help you get all of this done simply, with all the facts and information you need. That might be helping you review your risk profile, consolidating old pension pots, or making a plan to help you retire early.
If that sounds good to you, please get in touch.
The value of pensions and the income they produce can fall as well as rise. You may get back less than you invested. Tax Planning is not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. Tax treatment varies according to individual circumstances and is subject to change.
