Financial Adviser DipPFS in North Devon

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.

An adviser’s insight

Aim to maximise your cash savings

It might shock you to know that 28% of people hold their cash in interest-free savings accounts(1), receiving no return on their hard-earned money. Because under current rules a basic rate taxpayer can earn up to £1,000 in interest from their savings without paying tax, these people could be missing out on a significant financial boost that they could be enjoying.

This is even more relevant when you consider that the average person typically holds up to 25% of their available money on cash deposit(2). So, by reviewing your cash and tackling any ‘lazy money’, you’ll be making a great start at getting your finances in shape and achieving longer-term financial security.

If your money isn’t working as hard as it could, I can help. By making it easy to access potentially better interest rates, I can help you to aim to maximise your cash savings – giving you more money to spend on the things you enjoy or helping you grow your money towards a longer-term goal.

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.
