I’m an independent financial planner based in the South West, with over a decade of experience helping individuals and families achieve their financial and life goals. At Hartsfield Financial Planning, I provide clear, personalised advice; whether that’s investments, retirement planning, pensions, Inheritance Tax, or making sure your loved ones are financially secure if life takes an unexpected turn. As a Pension Transfer Specialist, I can also give regulated advice on the suitability of transferring safeguarded benefits. Alongside supporting individuals and families, I also work with business owners and professionals, always taking the time to understand what matters most to you and tailoring advice around your goals and values. Independent and whole-of-market, my advice is always in your best interests. Let’s have a conversation, whether at our offices in Bristol, Corsham, or Cheltenham, or in the comfort of your own home.
