Independent, FCA-regulated financial planning for business owners, professionals and families navigating significant change.
What are you trying to build?
Once we understand the answer (what your life looks like in five, fifteen, thirty years; what matters and what doesn’t; what could go wrong and what you’d want to happen if it did), every other decision becomes considered.
We model it properly. Year by year, income and capital projected across the next thirty or forty years, stress-tested against the things that could go wrong.
From there, the rest becomes straightforward. The investments. The pension structure. The tax planning. The protection. They stop being separate problems and start being parts of one coherent plan.
Most of our clients fall into one of three groups. They have very different lives. They tend to want the same thing from us: clear thinking, applied consistently.
Variable income. Concentrated wealth in a single asset. Tax positions that need active management. Often years of putting personal financial planning second to the company. We help bring structure to all of it, and prepare for the eventual exit, whenever it comes.
People who built careers by paying attention to the detail, only to find their personal finances haven’t received the same treatment. Pensions quietly grown into their largest asset. Tax situations outpacing what an accountant alone can solve. Some are decades from retirement. Some are five years out.
Inheritance, divorce, bereavement, business sale, relocation. Moments where the financial decisions arrive at exactly the time you have least capacity to make them well. Large sums, awkward timing, and pressure to act quickly from people who don’t have to live with the outcome.
The plan defines what you need. The portfolio delivers it.
The plan itself. Retirement, tax, estate, protection, all pulled together into a single document you understand and can act on. Updated as your life changes.
Portfolios built and managed to deliver what your plan needs. Not to beat a benchmark. Not to chase whatever’s working this quarter. To do the specific job your plan asks them to do.
The firm is built around a small team of [X] advisors and [X] support staff, working with around [X] client households across the UK and internationally. We don’t aim to be the biggest. We aim to know our clients well enough that the advice we give them is actually right.
We begin by understanding your situation, priorities and long-term objectives. From there we build a structured plan and support you as it evolves over time.
Free, no obligation. We listen to where you are and what you’re trying to do. You decide whether we’re the right fit.
We look at everything: pensions, investments, property, business interests, debts, protection, wills. The full picture, no gaps.
A structured, written plan. Recommendations you can read, question, and live with. Then we put it into action.
Your plan is alive. We review it as your life changes, markets move, and the rules around tax and pensions shift.
Trusted by clients who value clarity and discipline.
Independent advice delivered with discipline, accountability and long-term perspective.
No commissions, no provider kickbacks, no product sales targets. The fee on your statement is the only money we make from working with you. That changes what we can recommend, and what we won’t.
Every recommendation stress-tested against the scenarios that actually matter. What if markets fall 30% next year? What if you live to 95? What if the business sells for less than you’d hoped? We model the answer before we give you the advice.
If we’re not the right fit for what you need, we’ll tell you directly and point you towards someone who is. Taking on the wrong client serves no one, and we’d rather say so.
Most of our clients have been with us for over a decade. Some are now introducing the next generation into the plan. The relationship is the actual product, not the portfolio.
An initial conversation costs nothing, takes about an hour, and leaves you with a clearer view of where you stand. Most of our work happens by phone or video, though we’re happy to meet in person when that’s useful. We’re based in London and Eastbourne, with clients across the UK.
