About

Hello, I'm Sophie. I believe great financial planning isn't about selling products – it's about helping you make confident financial decisions so you can enjoy life today while planning for tomorrow. As an Independent Financial Adviser at Fidelius, I work with professionals, business owners, families and those approaching retirement. Whether you're changing jobs, building wealth, preparing for retirement, selling a business or thinking about the legacy you'll leave, I provide clear, independent advice tailored to your goals. Many of my clients want more than investment advice – they want someone who can help them make sense of all aspects of their financial life. From pensions and investments to tax planning, protection and estate planning, I work with you to create a financial plan that evolves as your circumstances change. I particularly enjoy working with business owners and entrepreneurs, especially those planning for life after selling their business. Helping clients transition from building wealth to making the most of it—whether that's investing sale proceeds, creating sustainable retirement income, reducing unnecessary tax or helping future generations—is one of the most rewarding parts of my role. Before joining Fidelius in 2026, I trained through a FTSE 100 Financial Adviser Academy before spending over four years advising clients as an independent financial adviser. Throughout my career, I've built long-term relationships based on trust, honesty and straightforward advice. I understand that financial planning can sometimes feel overwhelming, so I pride myself on explaining complex topics in plain English and giving clients the confidence to make informed decisions. Whether you're taking your first steps with financial planning or already have an established portfolio, my aim is to help you feel in control of your financial future. I look forward to getting to know you and helping you build a financial plan that gives you clarity, confidence and peace of mind.
