Our financial planning team

As a Senior Financial Planning Director, I head the Financial Planning Team in our Glasgow office. My priority is to help 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 am responsible for providing full financial planning advice to individuals. I specialise in both the pre- and post-retirement stages of retirement planning, inheritance tax planning and tax efficient investment strategies. To ensure the best possible outcome for my clients I often work closely with our Investment Managers matching clients' risk profiles and objectives to investment, pension and trust portfolios that will deliver for them and their families over the years.

As Co-Head of Private Client Advice, I oversee the delivery of financial and wealth planning advice for Rathbones. With many years of experience in the wealth management industry, I remain passionate about helping clients to achieve their financial goals and ambitions which take into account not only their assets and investments but also their lifestyles, values and long term aspirations.

As a Senior Paraplanner, my role focuses on research and analysis. I prepare client reports which outline their current positon, objectives and the detailed recommendations. I use analytical software to review existing arrangements and cash flow analysis is becoming a vital part of my work. I provide technical assistance to the planners and wider team and maintain detailed knowledge of all aspects of financial planning, including taxation and legislation. I sit on the Financial Planning Research Committee carrying out product research. As a Senior Paraplanner I also support the development of other paraplanners.
