What is cashflow modelling?

It’s the unknown that makes planning for the future difficult. Your life is full of lots of choices that can impact your financial situation. So how can you look all the way ahead to your later life with any kind of certainty?

This is where cashflow modelling comes in. Essentially, it’s a tool used by advisers like me to get an idea of how your financial future could look. I put in lots of data about you and your financial circumstances, and that lets me predict what could happen, and compare different scenarios against each other.

It means we can do things like: see whether you can afford to gift your grandchildren money towards their education, gauge whether your finances will last you into retirement, or understand whether you need to make some changes to achieve your goals.

Let me know if you think cashflow modelling could help you.

More about me

I am highly motivated and maintain a positive outlook on life, taking a practical approach to problem-solving to deliver the best financial advice to my clients. As a holistic planner, I believe financial plans should be built on solid foundations, including appropriate protection cover and cash flow forecasting techniques, to establish manageable and achievable long-term financial objectives.

Outside of work, I am passionate about grassroots football and am an FA-qualified football coach. I spend most of my spare time involved in football, whether managing a grassroots team in the Surrey Youth League or supporting my son, a talented goalkeeper, at his numerous training and trial events. However, I also cherish relaxing at home in the garden with my family.
