Saunderson House

I provide comprehensive bespoke financial planning advice to private clients, specialising in retirement planning, tax-efficient investing, pension transfers, pensions and divorce and inheritance tax planning strategies. My clients include high net worth individuals, partners of solicitor and accountancy firms, entrepreneurs and trustees. I also head up our Guildford Office.

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 am a Chartered Financial Planner at Rathbones, providing holistic financial planning and investment advice to clients and their families. This involves providing a pro-active personalised service to first understand our client’s life goals and motivations, then building a tailored financial plan to achieve. I aim to provide peace of mind for our client’s financial futures and my focus is on building long-term relationships that can help our clients navigate their way through various challenges including:

• Accumulating wealth tax efficiently by making use of appropriate tax allowances.
• Building long term forecasts to help clients understand when they can achieve certain goals such as retirement, gifts or property purchases.
• Helping our clients draw tax efficiently from their assets in the decumulation phase.
• Helping our clients understand how and when they can pass assets on tax efficiently to their loved ones.
• Sensible estate planning with a view of mitigating inheritance tax.

I have also recently been recognised with an individual nomination in the 2025 CityWealth awards. In my spare time I enjoy travelling, playing and watching various sports including football, rugby and padel as well as spending time with friends and family in Hertfordshire.

Having graduated from The University of Exeter in 2011, I began my career in financial planning with Saunderson House (SHL) as part of the graduate trainee programme in 2011, achieving Chartered Status in October 2017.  I spent 18 months away from financial planning, working with a range of financial planners from the provider side, as an account manager with Standard Life (now ABRDN), before returning to Saunderson House (now part of Rathbones Financial Planning following the acquisition of SHL in October 2021) in January 2020, having widened my knowledge of the Financial Planning landscape. 

My clients include both current and former partners of accountancy and law firms, navigating the specific compliance requirements that their needs require, whilst ensuring their financial planning needs (including retirement, tax and estate planning) are met.  I enjoy the peace of mind that competent financial planning can provide to clients whose busy lives require their attention elsewhere. Outside of work, I previously played competitive rugby having plied my trade at the National 2 level for the 2019/20 season with Sutton & Epsom RFC.  I also enjoy the cinema and travelling (admittedly where I have my way, this usually has a sporting event that the trip is planned around).
