An adviser’s insight
If it’s time for financial advice, I can help you
Coming into a sum of money can be exciting and overwhelming at the same time, especially if it’s sudden or unexpected. And while you’re trying to process all the emotions involved, you’ll probably have to make some important financial decisions as well.
Whether you’ve received an inheritance, a windfall, or a lump sum from work, having an adviser to help guide you and make a sensible plan can take away some of the stress and worry so you can focus on the benefits.
I can help you understand all the different options available to you, taking advantage of any allowances so your money works as tax-efficiently as possible.
I can also help you adjust your financial plans or make completely new ones by showing you how the choices you make today could impact your future.
Together, we can put your money to work in a way that helps you feel confident about the future.

We are approaching retirement age and needed advice on our pensions.

Graeme S.
I am nearing retirement and needed advice to consolidate the various pension pots I have including a final salary one.
Stacey went through all my pensions and got updates on them, she then gave me a report on the various options available to me, along with advice in planning for my retirement.
Following this she then transferred my pensions into one new portfolio, gave sound advice on what to do with my final salary pension and sorted all the paperwork going forward.
I am very happy with the advice Stacey gave me, I now have a good understanding of the options available to me as I near my retirement and Stacey is always only a phone call away.
Tony C.
I was looking at setting up a lifetime annuity for 4 separate pension funds and, Stacey provided details of all my options so I could consider the best pension type before deciding on a lifetime annuity.
She gave excellent advice, provided updates at all times on progress and assisted with additional queries and assistance to ensure that transfers and setting up of annuity was completed on time.
The final lifetime annuity provided exactly what I required and rates that were higher than I originally expected - everything was first class and have no criticism whatsoever!
Jacqueline H.
Stacey helped me to look at my available options for early retirement and make an informed decision which was best for me.
Throughout the whole process she kept in regular contact, letting me know how things were progressing.
I don’t feel that Stacey could have done anything better!
Sharon C.
I wanted to transfer a Defined Benefit pension and was struggling to find an adviser with the necessary skills.
I knew after my 1st conversation with Stacey that I was in good hands.
The process was complex and took some time but I was kept informed at every stage. The advice given has enabled me to retire at age 56 and be confident that my future retirement is financially viable.
I would highly recommend Stacey to anyone looking for financial advice!
