A little bit about Paul
I am a Chartered Member of the Chartered Institute for Securities and Investments, holding the Level 4 Diploma in Investment Advice, and with nearly two decades of experience in Financial Services.
I take a holistic approach to partnering with clients to build long-term trusted relationships. At the core of my approach is helping clients understand their current financial position and their future financial journey in a simple and transparent manner so that they can feel confident in what the financial plan to meet their objective is, why the plan has been recommended and how we can then put it in place.

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.
