Our Purpose
We are Independent Financial Planners who believe that leading a fulfilled life founded on a great relationship with money should be a right and not a privilege. Our vision is to create an environment where financial planners can make a real impact in society. We want to make our clients’ lives the focus of everything we do.
Who we work with
We work with a wide range of clients (including Business Owners, Academics and Retirees) who are predominantly referred to us by existing clients or other professionals.
We have noticed a trend in the reasons for clients coming specifically to us and these are often as follows:
“I have a financial adviser, but the relationship is more about our money than us”
“I am so busy with work that I have neglected my finances for a long time, we are not getting any younger and retirement is not all that far away”
“I have always invested in our business but we are now generating decent profit and I need to ensure I plan properly for our future”

Based on her client feedback and reviews she received a ‘Top rated adviser’ accolade from The Times in 2022, 2023 and 2024.

There are levers that every organisation can pull to alter the way they are working. Typically, these include the way they communicate, manage performance, reward, recruit and promote. It’s managers who do all these things, day in, day out. Adapting to change means checking out how this is working, and helping key people to rethink and alter what they do.
