I specialise in providing private clients with full holistic and bespoke financial planning advice. I focus on your personal tax planning, estate planning and the pre- and post-retirement stages of retirement planning.

As a Paraplanner here in the Cheltenham office my primary job is to support the South West regional Financial Planning team. I work alongside the Planners to conduct detailed research, review clients' financial situations and complete technical reports. The team works closely with clients' Investment Managers, Accountants and Solicitors to help them form a financial plan which meets their objectives. I liaise with all those involved from the start of our client's Rathbones journey to the point that the plan is formed and beyond. I am also here to help clients with any administration queries should they need my assistance and to provide a primary point of contact for the team.

My priority is helping my clients achieve their financial goals. By understanding their current position, requirements and financial objectives, I help them to build a tailored financial plan that suits their present and future needs. I provide holistic financial planning advice to our clients with an emphasis on Retirement Planning, Estate Planning, Later Life and Financial Coaching.

I typically help my clients and their families make informed decisions on their financial goals with the objective to maintain their desired lifestyle. This encompasses all areas of financial planning with a particular emphasis towards retirement and inheritance tax planning. My focus is to provide clients with peace of mind over their financial affairs, whilst ensuring their investments are structured in the most tax-efficient manner.

I specialise in providing bespoke Financial Planning advice to individuals, families, trusts and corporates; ensuring that my recommendations are aligned with their key goals. My primary objective is to provide a tailored solution in line with their key objectives, with a first-class service. My approach is based on understanding my client's goals and translating those into a cash flow plan. This will usually prompt a further discussion surrounding the opportunities and potential obstacles.

I provide holistic financial planning advice and manage multi-asset portfolios as part of our Wealth Planning service to a range of private clients, families and trusts. By focussing on each client's goals and aspirations as a starting point, I am able to create bespoke financial plans and investment strategies built around tax-efficient structures and principles. Frequently strategies are put in place to build wealth over time, plan for income during retirement or to ensure hard earned assets can be passed effectively and tax efficiently between generations over time. The strategies that are agreed upon are kept under regular review and adapted as circumstances, legislation and the investment environment evolve.

I provide high quality financial planning and investment advice to private clients.
