Financial advice is about more than managing money

When people think about financial advice, they often think about investments. But financial advice can support a much wider range of decisions, helping you plan confidently for the future and make the most of the opportunities available to you.

More support than many people realise

More support than many people realise

New research commissioned by Quilter and conducted by Boring Money found that many people understand how advisers like me can help with investments, but are less aware of the wider support available through professional financial planning.

As an adviser, I may be able to help with:

  • retirement planning
  • tax planning opportunities
  • pension consolidation
  • estate and legacy planning
  • financial planning through major life events
  • managing investments through changing market conditions.

Building confidence in your financial future

Financial decisions can feel complex at times, particularly as circumstances, legislation, and markets change.

If we work together, I can help you:

  • gain clarity over your options
  • understand opportunities available to you
  • stay focused on long-term goals
  • build a clear financial plan
  • make informed decisions with confidence.

If this sounds good to you, please get in touch.

Xiaoyu's location

London
United Kingdom

Xiaoyu is located in London and offers expert financial advice to suit your needs.

Hi, I’m Xiaoyu - a Financial Adviser who believes that good financial planning should give you clarity, confidence, and peace of mind. With over five years of experience in the financial services sector, I have worked with individuals and families to help them make informed decisions and build long-term financial security.

My career began in banking, where I developed a strong foundation in insurance and retail financial products while working as a Customer Account Manager. I later moved into the UK insurance and wealth sector, advising clients on protection planning and supporting them in understanding their financial needs and priorities. These experiences have given me a solid understanding of how to build long-term client relationships and provide advice tailored to each person’s circumstances and goals.

I hold the CISI Investment Advice Diploma (IAD), demonstrating my commitment to maintaining high professional standards and providing advice that clients can rely on. My approach is straightforward — I take the time to listen, understand what matters most to you, and create a financial plan designed to support your goals both now and in the future.

As a bilingual adviser (Mandarin & English), I enjoy working with both UK-based and international clients, helping them navigate financial planning with confidence, particularly when dealing with complex personal or family situations.

Outside of work, I enjoy playing badminton, camping, and hiking. I like spending time outdoors and staying active, which helps me keep a balanced and positive approach both in life and in my work.

If you would like advice from a Financial Adviser who values clear communication, long-term relationships, and personalised planning, I would be pleased to help.

I aim to provide practical, straightforward guidance to help you feel confident about your financial future.
