My job is making life easier for you.You may be an older person, who just wants to get a tidy return from your money. Possibly, you want to make it as inheritance tax efficient / care fees efficient as possible so that you can pass on as much as you can to your children and grandchildren. You may find yourself at or in retirement with a need to look into later life borrowing or equity release.You may be a worried family member, having to move your Mum or Dad, Aunt or Uncle or other relative into a care home for the first time, and just not knowing where to start. You will also probably want to understand your role as an Attorney or a Deputy, and to make sure you comply with all the regulations and guidelines when looking after their money.I can help.The most important part of the role of any financial adviser is to break down what can be quite difficult and complicated concepts into bite sized chunks. I pride myself on my ability to explain things in plan English, and to give you the reassurance that you need to do the right thing.I have been in practice as a financial adviser since 1997, and a SOLLA member since 2012. As the current SOLLA Regional Co-ordinator for Wales, I am helping to raise awareness generally of the importance of specialist, accredited advice, especially in care scenarios.I am also a Fellow of the Personal Finance Society and a Chartered Financial Planner (Chartered Insurance Institute), a Chartered Member of CISI and Certified Financial Planner/CFP (Chartered Institute of Securities and Investments).
