An adviser’s insight
Spend wisely and save smartly
June can be one of the best months of the year with summer well and truly on the way. But with all those holidays, weddings, anniversaries, and other spending, it can also be one of the most expensive too.
While you should be focusing on the present, it’s also important to be aware of how major outlays now can have a significant impact on your financial security in later life. A cashflow model can give you a clear picture of the consequences your spending and saving can have on your future.
It’s also good to know about the ways you can use your tax-free allowances wisely on certain expenditures. For example, your gifting allowances can let you pass on up to £3,000 a year to your loved ones without it being added to the value of your estate.*
Together, we can make a plan to help you live your life to the full now, while still having the retirement you want later on.

Testimonials
Client 1
I needed to set up a new pension as a business owner and I needed to transfer over my old pension from my previous company. I also needed a review of my life insurance and my financial planning up to retirement age.
I am grateful to Tom who advised me that my current cover did not include any financial support should I become ill or injured and need time out of the business, now I have a policy that will cover my monthly salary and a pay out after death. He has also set me up with a new pension and will arrange with my previous pension company to transfer the balance over so it is all in one place.
Lastly, he advised me about future savings for my children which I found really useful and will be putting in place.
Client 2
Received some excellent advice from Tom on a number of different matters. I am 59 I have a cognitive disability which affects my perception and understanding. The fact that I understood Tom from the start shows his communication skills are exceptional I was honestly amazed how I myself absorbed and retained the information he gave me.
Tom made everything crystal clear I am so pleased that I've been advised by Tom its literally changed my direction in life and made it so much better. Thank you Tom, keep up the good work!!
Client 3
Tom has been great to deal with. Not only has the service been extremely professional, with regular updates and reports, but Tom is also very personable and easy to work with. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.
Client 4
I didn’t know where to start and I found Tom via my trade union financial advice offer. Tom had made this process really straight forward guiding me step by step and providing clear straightforward advice and information. He’s really friendly and made me think about what I want out of retirement with projections for the future and explored ethical investing with me.
Tom was upfront about managing my expectations and the limitations but committed to finding me a close fit. I’ve felt really confident in the advice Tom has given. After my experience with Tom I sort of wish I’d taken this step earlier!
