About
I have 22 years experience in the Financial Advice industry and a Financial Planner and Compliance Officer at Independent and Chartered firm, Lifeplan. My expertise lies in providing clear, jargon-free advice that enables people to concentrate on living their lives rather than worrying about the future. I believe the best financial advice comes from a full understanding of your personal situation; not from a list of financial products you or anyone else thinks you might need. It comes from a strategy that has your best interests, goals and ambitions at its heart. It comes from a Lifeplan. Over the years, I have become a specialist in helping people at every stage of the retirement process: • Approaching retirement: I’ll ensure you can retire with the income you need to achieve your goals. • At retirement: I’ll create a bespoke financial plan that will give you the confidence to retire worry-free. • In retirement: I’ll ensure you are making the most of your retirement income, in a way that is secure, structured and sustainable. • Wills & trusts: I’ll create a strategy that will ensure your assets will be distributed according to your wishes. (including Inheritance Tax Planning)
