A little bit about Selaine

I am a financial planner, committed to helping people improve their family’s financial future. I focus on problem solving, consolidating large quantities of information, to find and deliver most suitable solutions. Highly numerate, with a first class degree in Mathematics and Management Studies from Cambridge University, I bring a wealth of life experience: having run my own business, taught mathematics, and served as a Member of Parliament from 2019-2024, including being a Parliamentary Private Secretary at the Treasury and member of the Work and Pensions Select Committee throughout.

I know life doesn’t always go to plan, but I work to improve your family’s financial resilience for the long term.

With the start of a new tax year, now is a great moment to take a little bit of time to get your finances in order and look ahead to the next 12 months and beyond.

I can help you take a fresh look at your finances and put a plan in place to help your money work hard for you over the next year. This can include ensuring that you’re maximising your new tax-free savings and gifting allowances.  

We can also consider any important updates to your circumstances, such as a pay rise or promotion, or changes to your family. 

Now is also a good time to review your longer-term goals and check in on your retirement savings. A cashflow model is an excellent way to do this as it can help to show how on track you are, if you need to make any adjustments, and the positive impact that even a few small changes made today can have on your finances over the long term.

More about me

I live in lovely North Devon with my naughty Labrador, Henry – we both love time on the beach and long walks through our spectacular scenery. I enjoy being on the water, and gig row socially which helps give perspective with the view back to land. Understanding finances from all angles is vital to how I help to develop personalised, financial solutions.

I have always enjoyed helping people fulfil their potential through my various careers – having been a fitness instructor and run the country’s largest sports bra retailer, LessBounce.com I helped women fulfil their sports potential. As a maths teacher I still enjoy breaking down complex concepts so understandable, and apply them to real life; and as a local MP, meeting and helping constituents resolve issues was always the most rewarding part of the job.

I know life doesn’t always go to plan: since losing my parliamentary seat in 2024’s General Election I have retrained through the Quilter Academy. I bring a high political awareness of the economy alongside my financial acumen, and am accustomed to working with, and listening to people to find solutions and build financial resilience into their futures.

I work flexibly and am always happy to meet clients however suits them best, whether online or in person and look forward to meeting with you.
