Tackle tax year end with confidence
Tax rules can seem pretty impenetrable. With the new Budget, and so many different allowances and regulations to keep up with, it’s no wonder millions of us end up accidentally missing opportunities - equating to millions of pounds a year.1
In this case, ignorance really isn’t bliss. And by confidently preparing for tax year end, you can be sure you’re getting all the money you’re entitled to - whether that’s by saving as much as you can tax-efficiently or just using your allowances to their full extent.
I can go through your financial position with you, so you’re ready for tax year end on 5 April. Did you know, for instance, that only 1 in 7 savers fully use their ISA?2 Or that you could be one of the 2m couples3 who aren’t making the most of their marriage allowance?
Together we can make this tax year end something to celebrate, rather than pass by. Get in touch for your tax year end review, or a cashflow modelling session to understand your financial position better.
For ISAs, Investors do not pay any personal tax on income or gains, but may pay unrecoverable tax on income from stocks and shares received by the ISA managers.
Tax treatment varies according to individual circumstances and is subject to change.
Stocks and Shares ISAs invest in corporate bonds, stocks and shares and other assets that fluctuate in value.

Client 1
I needed to set up a new pension as a business owner and I needed to transfer over my old pension from my previous company. I also needed a review of my life insurance and my financial planning up to retirement age.
I am grateful to Tom who advised me that my current cover did not include any financial support should I become ill or injured and need time out of the business, now I have a policy that will cover my monthly salary and a pay out after death. He has also set me up with a new pension and will arrange with my previous pension company to transfer the balance over so it is all in one place.
Lastly, he advised me about future savings for my children which I found really useful and will be putting in place.
Client 2
Received some excellent advice from Tom on a number of different matters. I am 59 I have a cognitive disability which affects my perception and understanding. The fact that I understood Tom from the start shows his communication skills are exceptional I was honestly amazed how I myself absorbed and retained the information he gave me.
Tom made everything crystal clear I am so pleased that I've been advised by Tom its literally changed my direction in life and made it so much better. Thank you Tom, keep up the good work!!
Client 3
Tom has been great to deal with. Not only has the service been extremely professional, with regular updates and reports, but Tom is also very personable and easy to work with. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.
Client 4
I didn’t know where to start and I found Tom via my trade union financial advice offer. Tom had made this process really straight forward guiding me step by step and providing clear straightforward advice and information. He’s really friendly and made me think about what I want out of retirement with projections for the future and explored ethical investing with me.
Tom was upfront about managing my expectations and the limitations but committed to finding me a close fit. I’ve felt really confident in the advice Tom has given. After my experience with Tom I sort of wish I’d taken this step earlier!
