I am a fully qualified Financial Planning Consultant with more than 15 years experience in the industry.
It's a complex financial world out there and legislation is forever changing, It's hard to make the time and sense of all of your various options - my job is to lay all your cards on the table and explain those options to you in a language you will understand.
* Investments * If you are concerned with flat savings rates and the silent attack from inflation, I can help you establish the level of risk you feel comfortable with and explore opportunities to grow your money, tax efficiently over time.
* Pensions * If, for example, you've had many employments with several pension funds I can carefully assess what they're costing you, how risky those funds are to your retirement plans and whether it's best for you to consolidate those funds into a single solution. You will then be able to keep track of your total pension pot under one roof with the ease of a click of a mouse. I can also help you make sense of the many retirement options you will be faced with the closer the time comes.
