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.
