About

Hi, I’m Phill Johns. I’m a financial planner at Francis Clark Financial Planning. I have more than 20 years’ experience in financial services and have worked as a financial planner since 2015. Having worked for both large institutions and smaller independent firms, I’ve gained a wide range of experience that helps me support clients with all aspects of financial planning. I provide a holistic, ongoing service to help clients plan for and achieve their financial objectives. My aim is to help them live the lifestyle they want, with greater confidence and less financial worry. I work with individuals and business owners, helping them make informed decisions about their personal and business finances. Clients also benefit from access to my colleagues at PKF Francis Clark, who can support with wider business affairs, giving them access to a broad range of services in one place. Outside work, I’m happiest outdoors with my wife and two boys. When the weather allows, we enjoy spending time on or in the water. In 2002, the board of Francis Clark had a realisation. The traditional back-and-forth between separate accountants and financial advisers serves no-one. So they founded a new company, giving clients a more joined-up approach – and Francis Clark Financial Planning was born. Our clients loved the idea, and the subsidiary company grew and grew. What started as a team of four in Newton Abbot has become a 60-strong, Chartered financial planning team, in nine locations across the south and west of England. The premise is simple. Getting your financial planning and tax advice in one place gives you a single, coherent view of your finances. Your plans are considered from every angle, and we’ll happily work in partnership with your legal advisors. No repeating yourself, no miscommunication. And we can be certain you’ll get the same high standards of customer service, every time. It also means we’re free to do things differently. For instance, we build long-term relationships, so we can take a lifetime financial planning approach. Forecasting and optimising your whole future, not just selling investment products. And we keep our investment committee separate – so your financial planner is only focused on you. From our first conversation, we think you’ll understand why it works so well.
