I am the author of the top rated Amazon financial planning book 'One Day Is now'. I have recently been awarded the VouchedFor Certificate of Excellence & am a 'top-rated' adviser on VouchedFor for 2025. I enjoy helping people make the most of their lives through proper financial planning. Often when new potential clients come to me they don't have a really clear idea of what they want to do with their retirement. They have a number of investments and pensions scattered around and are not sure what job these assets are actually doing for them. I help clients with this by having what I call a 'discovery' session where we discuss their goals and what they would like to do with the rest of their lives. My team and I then get to work to create a reliable plan so my clients can achieve their dreams. We also help clients to get organised financially so they know what their investments are, why they have them and what job the investments are doing for them. This means they can enjoy their retirement knowing they are well organised and will never run out of money. My book 'One Day is Now' is all about using your money to live your best possible life and is available at www.amazon.co.uk. As a Lifestyle Financial Planner (a kind of “life coach” who specialises in money), I love to help clients get the most out of their money. Over the course of my 30+ year career as a Financial Adviser I have helped hundreds of clients protect and grow their hard-earned savings, pay less tax and lead worry free lives in retirement. Many of my clients have experienced major life changes including retirement, divorce or the loss of a spouse so I am very experienced at helping these types of clients.
