More about me

Meet Sarah

After 17-years of growing global beauty brands, becoming Managing Director of a food company, and now mum to three children, I am drawing on this life experience, but pivoting my focus to a vocation that directly benefits and adds value to the lives of individuals. I am passionate about Financial Planning and believe it to be one of the most important things we can put in place for ourselves and for our loved ones.

The services I offer include:

  • Personal Taxation
  • Savings & Investments
  • Pensions & Retirement
  • Personal & Business Protection
  • Inheritance Tax & Estate Planning
  • Holistic planning
  • Cashflow Modelling

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, cooking, travelling to the sunshine, and playing tennis. I have a Diploma in Regulated Financial Planning from the Chartered Insurance Institute and am registered with the Financial Conduct Authority.

An adviser’s insight

Could you be more financially savvy this tax year?

Graphic of people planning their investments

March, and spring more generally, is often a time for fresh starts. And now your tax allowances are getting one too. The new tax year begins on 6 April, giving you time to plan how you’ll use all those new allowances to your advantage.

Take your ISA allowance. It can be tempting to leave it until the last minute to use it up. But, if you’re able to pay into it at the beginning of the year, you’re potentially getting a whole extra 12 months of time for your savings to grow.

A review right at the start of the tax year, or just before it, can also help us spot if there are any tax incentives you could use throughout the year.

You might be surprised just how many people don’t do this - and miss out on money that’s rightfully theirs. These tax incentives can be things like increasing your pension contributions or charitable giving to help offset your income tax.

I can also draw up a cashflow model to bring this to life. The model allows us to explore and compare different strategies and scenarios, so you can see the difference it will make to your long-term finances and goals.

If you want to find out more about the savvy financial strategies I could help you with this tax year, feel free to get in touch.

Testimonials

Jessica

Sarah is very knowledgeable and had some great advice to share which really helped me feel prepared to start the process of getting my finances in order.

Naomi

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
I wanted to be able to have clarity around managing my finances, including investments. I also needed to set up a pension.

How has Sarah helped you?
Sarah has helped me to understand and set up a pension, understand my investments and plan for the future.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Yes. I have much more clarity around my finances now and feel much calmer and in control.

Sam

I’m very happy with the advice received, the time taken and the manner in which that advice was delivered.

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
A combination of optimising tax returns, taking advantage of allowances along with optimising of an investment portfolio strategy with new proceeds.

How has Sarah helped you?
Sarah was very helpful in both identifying tax allowance that had not been taken advantage of and for helping set up a new investment portfolio and strategy with new proceeds to optimize returns.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
It is early days but the money is being put to use and the returns have so far been in line or above expectations.
