I have been a financial planner since 2015 and chartered since 2018. Having previously developed my craft at a successful local firm, I decided to set out on my own to build a modern financial planning company which places the client at the heart of the process. We use all the software and resources available to make the financial planning process as simple and straightforward as possible for you. No more complicated jargon, only great results! My particular area of interest is pension planning, using cashflow modelling to illustrate how you can achieve the retirement you want. This also brings in investment and estate planning wherever applicable. I am a big believer that having the best possible technical knowledge is key to providing an exceptional service to my clients. Hence why I have achieved the Fellowship of the Personal Finance Society, the highest accolade possible from the PFS. I am a very active member in my local professional community. I currently serve as the Professional Qualifications Officer for the South Wales region of the Personal Finance Society; I also serve on the Insurance Institute of Cardiff committee. I regularly provide education sessions at local colleges and universities, teaching students about personal finance and the employment opportunities in this profession. We have offices in Newport and Swansea and am happy to meet at either.
