Sam Smith

Financial Planning Consultant DipPFS, Cert CII (MP) in Worcester

A little bit about Sam

I pride myself on providing personalised, holistic financial advice in Worcester and its surrounding areas. I’ve been in the industry since 2020 and I’ve quickly progressed during this time with no plans for this to slow down. I’m on track to becoming a chartered financial planner in 2025 with further educational aspirations beyond that.

I find that the clients working with me, typically value that they have a clearer path towards achieving their goals such as retiring, passing on wealth to the next generation, or protecting their family against financial harm.

Your money won’t reach its goal unless it has a direction. But with a plan, it can work towards something better. I can help.

An adviser’s insight

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. The value of investments can go up and down and you may get back less than you invested.

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.

Testimonials

Jamie C.

Always a pleasure working with Sam. He knows exactly where he can add value, and has consistently taken the time to understand my situation when crafting a financial strategy. I’m impressed by how he uses his own domain knowledge and surrounding network of experts to provide clear answers on a wide range of topics. Can’t recommend highly enough!

Huw T.

My experience with Sam, with my investments and pension was great! He was very attentive and helpful in explaining the different options to me and worked together to select the best option moving forward. I would highly recommend him, he is very professional and thorough. But also very easy to get along with and trustworthy.

Josh S.

My experience with Sam over the past year has been great. After receiving financial advice from a previous adviser for a number of years, I found I wasn’t getting the targeted advice that best suited my needs as a young professional.

During our first meeting, Sam took time to really get to know me and what I really wanted to get out of my future. For our following meeting, Sam researched my company’s pension scheme and other schemes available to me, and created a tailored plan that was right for me.

He’s been an ultimate professional throughout, and I’ve been extremely pleased with the financial advice he has provided and the returns so far. From my experience, I’d recommend Sam to anyone looking to seek advice. Professional. Thorough. Effective. Top work!

More about me

I’m passionate about building strong long-lasting relationships with my clients and I have a heavy focus on educating them to ensure that they are empowered to make smarter financial decisions. I also understand that it is natural human behaviour to delay making financial decisions which can ultimately be costly. I therefore, play an accountability/coaching role with my clients similarly to that of a personal trainer which again, increases the chances of my clients having a better financial outcome long term.

Fun fact: I previously played professional rugby for Worcester Warriors, albeit it was a rather short and sweet career.

Other passions include spending time with my family, cooking and walking my cocker spaniel, Buddy. Also finding time to play sports to a very amateur level, such as golf, skiing and rugby.
