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.

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.

Sanna's location

South Devon
United Kingdom

Sanna is located in South Devon and offers expert financial advice to suit your needs.

It is my firm belief that wealth management is something that all individuals and businesses should have access to. Too often I see barriers to entry to financial freedom - whether it's lack of confidence, experience or guidance. My aim is to detangle the mires of financial complexity, and bring understandable and accessible financial freedom to everyone. Whether starting out on your investment journey, or already an experienced investor, looking for a new approach, I offer a no-nonsense and jargon-free service with your needs put first and foremost.

My approach to financial planning has been shaped over my previous career as a bond trader in London and New York, my experience in teaching and project management, and spending time with people from all walks of life and with a wide range of financial needs. By taking the time to listen and get to know my clients, I am able to understand their objectives, and help navigate a path forwards. Working together, we build a bespoke plan tailored to your needs, taking your preferences, goals and wishes into account at every step. This could equally be a review of existing provisions, from ISAs to pensions, or a first step on the investment ladder, all whilst making the most of available tax efficiencies, and budgeting or cash flow modelling.

I focus on wealth and investment management, helping clients grow and safeguard their assets. By crafting personalised investment strategies, I ensure each plan aligns with the client’s unique risk tolerance, financial goals, and time horizon. My approach is built on thorough analysis and a deep understanding of market dynamics, allowing me to provide guidance through both prosperous and challenging economic times. Pension planning is also a core part of my expertise. Recognising the importance of financial security in retirement, I collaborate closely with clients to create strategies that maximise pension contributions while optimising tax efficiency. Whether just beginning or approaching the end of your career, I offer tailored advice to help ensure a secure and stress-free retirement.

Beyond wealth management and pensions, I can also assist with savings strategies and protection plans. I help establish solid financial safety nets through well-designed savings plans that address both short-term and long-term goals. With my knowledge of protection strategies such as life insurance, critical illness cover, and general insurance , I can ensure you and your assets are shielded from life's unexpected challenges.

I live with my husband and dog in the beautiful countryside of South Devon, and love spending time with them on Dartmoor, playing music with my folk performance group, or at home gardening and doing DIY.
