A Generic Independent Financial Adviser—Impartial, Principled, and Committed to Your Best Interests
When seeking financial counsel, would you prefer guidance that is influenced by the commercial interests of those promoting financial products, or would you rather receive clear, impartial, and objective advice from an expert whose sole commitment is to your best interests—empowering you with the knowledge and confidence to make informed financial decisions, free from any undue persuasion or sales-driven motives?
​
By purchasing financial products directly from providers, informed by rigorous Consumer Association surveys, you can significantly reduce costs associated with fees and commissions. You need not rely on intermediaries with vested interests; instead, you may assume control of your own financial affairs with the appropriate support of generic financial advice—a service designed to equip you with the necessary insights to establish sound financial strategies tailored to your personal circumstances.
​
This approach ensures that financial advice remains accessible, transparent, and devoid of commercial pressure, aligning solely with your aspirations and financial well-being. With remuneration structured on an hourly basis, rather than being contingent upon product sales, such advice preserves its integrity, ensuring that your financial plans serve your interests alone, rather than enriching others at the expense of your hard-earned savings.

Done For You! Bespoke Financial Planning, Professionally Managed on Your Behalf.
Hourly or Project-based Fees​
While FCA regulated financial advisers can offer invaluable guidance, it is imperative to exercise due diligence when seeking financial counsel. Regrettably, some of the most significant pension losses have arisen where advisers have structured their fees in a manner contingent upon the transfer of pension assets. Such arrangements engender a conflict of interest, potentially jeopardising the security of one’s savings.
​
To safeguard your financial future, it is prudent to engage with a FCA regulated adviser who operates on a fixed-fee basis, thereby ensuring that their recommendations remain uninfluenced by financial incentives.
Alternatively, one may find even greater assurance in consulting an expert non-intermediating financial planner—a professional whose sole commitment is to your best interests. Unencumbered by the sale of financial products, such practitioners provide truly impartial and objective guidance, serving as your trusted ally in navigating the complexities of financial planning with integrity and prudence.
​
A Financial Ally You Can Trust
Though I am no longer authorised to engage in the regulated sale of financial products, my expertise remains both extensive and highly refined. With over four decades of experience as a distinguished professional in the fields of investment and pensions, I have attained the highest qualifications and have held leadership positions within some of the most prominent institutions in the industry.
​
Now, in my retirement from regulated financial advising, I have deliberately chosen a path founded upon the principles of fairness, clarity, and transparency. Unencumbered by commercial interests, my focus is solely on providing impartial guidance that empowers individuals to make informed financial decisions with confidence and independence.
​
At Financial Life Coach, I uphold the principle that financial planning should be both transparent and equitable. If these values resonate with you, then you have arrived at the right place. My services are predicated upon the time, expertise, and diligence I devote to comprehensively understanding your unique circumstances—rather than being contingent upon the extent of your financial assets. This ensures that my guidance remains wholly aligned with your best interests, entirely independent of market fluctuations or external influences.
​
Together, we can redefine the essence of financial planning, adopting a clear, principled, and forthright approach that is meticulously tailored to your aspirations. Let us work in concert towards the attainment of financial security and confidence, ensuring that you retain full autonomy and control at every stage of your journey.
​
Regulated By CMA, Not FCA
Under the framework of Generic Financial Advice, we neither manage clients’ financial assets nor provide recommendations regarding specific institutions or providers for the purchase of financial products. Instead, we direct individuals to impartial public surveys, enabling them to make informed decisions based on objective and widely recognised sources of information.
​
Generic Financial Advice operates outside the regulatory perimeter of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and is instead governed by the consumer protection regulations set forth by the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA). This distinction ensures that the guidance provided remains free from commercial influence, focusing exclusively on equipping individuals with the knowledge necessary to navigate their financial affairs independently.
​
Should you wish to delegate financial decision-making to an adviser, it would be prudent to engage a Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) regulated financial adviser, who is authorised to offer regulated financial advice and manage investments on your behalf.
