Gifts that give back

Graphic of people exchanging gifts

December is often seen as the gifting season. But alongside the usual socks and chocolate gold coins, it might be worth planning a slightly bigger, longer-term present for your loved ones this year.

Inheritance tax (IHT) is notoriously complicated and can hit people with a big bill if it isn’t managed properly. It isn’t reserved for the very wealthy either. Dealing with IHT is a reality that many more families face after a loved one has passed - in what is usually an extremely vulnerable moment.

This is where using your gifting allowances can make a real impact on those around you. It’s a great way to share your wealth with the people you love while limiting their exposure to IHT. It does take a little bit of extra planning though.

Sitting down with an adviser like me can help you figure out where you want your money to go, and when. For instance, it might be more helpful to gift a family member a contribution towards their first home now, rather than leaving them a legacy.

Whatever you decide is best, we’ll find the most tax efficient way to do it.

Diploma in Regulated Financial Planning

  • The Level 4 Diploma in Regulated Financial Planning from the Chartered Insurance Institute develops core technical and initial financial planning understanding.

I hold a Master’s degree in Finance and Accounting from the University of Sheffield, alongside the CII Diploma in Regulated Financial Planning (Level 4). My work bridges traditional financial advice with the tools and mindset of a new generation of professionals - focused on transparency, technology, and measurable results. I help both business clients and individuals make smarter financial decisions across pensions, investments, protection, business continuity, and tax-efficient planning. My philosophy is simple: combine evidence-based strategy with personal clarity.

Using advanced cash flow modelling, I show clients the impact of their decisions over time - turning abstract financial goals into clear, visual roadmaps. For business owners, I provide integrated advice that aligns corporate and personal finances, ensuring that company structures, pensions, and investment strategies all work together efficiently. For individual clients, I take pride in offering straightforward, jargon-free guidance that helps people build and protect wealth with confidence. I’m passionate about investing and spend much of my time exploring quantitative strategies, using Python to build financial models and test ideas that challenge traditional market thinking. This data-driven curiosity shapes the way I approach client portfolios - always looking for innovative, risk-aware opportunities to enhance performance.

Outside of work, I’m an active person who enjoys Football, Basketball, Golf, and Chess - pursuits that reflect both my competitive edge and strategic mindset. Whether on the field or at the desk, I’m always thinking a few moves ahead. Ultimately, my goal is to redefine what modern financial advice looks like - blending professional rigour with technology, curiosity, and a genuine commitment to helping clients achieve financial freedom in a fast-changing world.
