Saunderson House

As a paraplanner, I support the Financial Planners in helping clients to achieve their financial goals. I assist the Financial Planners with technical research and I write recommendation reports specific to each client's individual needs and financial objectives.

Jessica is a Chartered Financial Planner and joined Saunderson House, now Rathbones Financial Planning, in March 2020. Jessica enjoys helping clients to achieve their long term goals, by carefully constructing a plan to address their unique personal and financial circumstances. Jessica works with clients on a holistic basis, helping to plan for their future through wealth accumulation, tax planning and mitigation, retirement planning and estate and inheritance tax planning. Jessica studied Law at the University of East Anglia (UEA) and has completed the Advanced Diploma in Financial Planning.

Outside of the office, Jessica enjoys playing tennis, travelling with family and friends and long dog walks whilst battling the British weather.

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).
