We build a new view of your life, not just your finances. — A New View Financial Planning, independent financial adviser & planner

A chance for us to get to know each other, talk about what's on your mind and what you would like life to look like ahead. I can explain how I can help and you will be able to assess whether working with me feels right for you. We don't have to limit this to one call, we can talk informally until you feel comfortable to proceed.

Now we go deeper. We will gather relevant details about you -what matters most, what you are hoping for and what you would rather avoid. We will look at your life goals, your attitude to risk, your current financial situation (for example, savings, investments, debts, pensions).  We will ask you to fill in some questionnaires (either online or paper if you prefer) and also ask your permission to get details on existing investments and pensions.  This then enables us to build a full picture of where you are now versus where you need to be.  We will use cash-flow forecasting tools to project how your money may perform based on your life goals.

Once we have all the information back, the technical team will conduct detailed research, scanning what is available across best of breed providers, to build your optimum plan. In some instances that will mean staying with existing providers, in others we will recommend a revised approach. Every recommendation is bespoke, based on where you are in life; for example nearing retirement, divorcing, worrying about inheritance tax, having a baby, buying a house or simply wanting to ensure you are making your money work for you for as long as you need it to.

Once we have finalised the plan and if you are happy with the recommendations, we will handle the execution. We move the plan from a document on the table to a working reality, taking care of all the technical details, dealing with providers and managing all of the paperwork. You won't need to chase anyone; we manage the process from start to finish.

Financial planning isn't a one-off event. Life changes, priorities shift and plans need to evolve. That is why our partnership includes ongoing reviews and coaching — a long-term relationship where we implement your plan, review progress regularly, adjust as your life changes and keep every decision aligned with your goals.

We help you stay accountable, make confident decisions, and avoid drifting off track. I don't charge by the hour because I never want you to hesitate to reach out. Whether you are facing a major life transition or just need a sounding board, you have total access to ongoing guidance with complete transparency.
