Tackle tax year end with confidence

Tax rules can seem pretty impenetrable. With the new Budget, and so many different allowances and regulations to keep up with, it’s no wonder millions of us end up accidentally missing opportunities.

In this case, ignorance really isn’t bliss. And by confidently preparing for tax year end, you can be sure you’re getting all the money you’re entitled to - whether that’s by saving as much as you can tax-efficiently or just using your allowances to their full extent.

I can go through your financial position with you, so you’re ready for tax year end on 5 April. Together we can make this tax year end something to celebrate, rather than pass by. Get in touch for your tax year end review or a cashflow modelling session to understand your financial position better.

Testimonials

J Higgins

Shazana has been my financial advisor for almost 20 years. When she took over she conducted a complete review of my investment portfolio as my circumstances had changed. After discussing my financial needs and objectives she made a number of very sensible proposals to simplify the management of my portfolio and cut costs.

Significant life events, the death of my wife, retirement, remarriage and establishing my sons in their own homes have been managed in an effective and thoughtful manner. Throughout she has been calm and patient and a fund of good, sensible, advice on the options open to me when changes arose. She also understood my difficulties in making, sometime quite complex, decisions.

L Dale

I have had a good relationship with Shazana for many years now. Initially she advised me on dealing with my financial affairs as a self-employed freelance translator and more recently has given me guidance on organising my income as I move towards retirement. She keeps abreast of what is happening in the financial world in these changing times and all the investments she has recommended to me have proved sound and successful. As a person who is not particularly ‘financially savvy’ I appreciate the way she makes all the arrangements very clear and easy to follow. I would not hesitate to recommend her.
