I am one of the Chartered Financial Planners and part-owners at Informed Financial Planning. I have worked within Financial Services since 2000 and delivered face to face advice to clients as an Independent Financial Adviser since 2003. I live in Leeds and predominantly work from the Leeds and Barnsley offices, although I travel all over the Yorkshire area to meet with clients with some further afield also. I work with individual, corporate and trustee clients, looking after a wide range of financial planning needs and ensuring that they each receive a proactive, consistent service. A great working relationship is vital to this process and I am confident that each of my clients values the connection that we have built up. The majority of new work comes through referrals from other professional firms which I have created trusted relationships with as well as from individual clients that have been happy with the service provided. Please get in touch if you would like a fresh approach to your financial planning needs and to ensure that you are kept on track to meet your financial goals throughout your lifetime.
