April Leeson

I am a Financial Adviser at The Private Office, located in the City of London, and cover areas such as Bath, Reading, and St Albans. I provide meaningful help to a range of clients to help them reach their financial goals. I demonstrate the importance of financial planning using modelling for all of my clients to show how they can meet their goals. You can expect us to cover pension planning, cash flow modelling, and investment advice, including sustainable and impact investing, which I am an advocate for. My passion for helping you achieve your goals lies in empowering individuals to maximise their finances, simplifying complex situations with clear language, and demystifying financial jargon so that everyone can harness their money more effectively. I also focus on empowering women to plan for their desired lifestyle, both in the present day and in the future. My aim is to give my clients the understanding and knowledge they need to make confident financial decisions and use financial planning as a tool for fulfilment and success.
