I joined Weston Cummins in 2012 having previously worked for more local IFAs outside of London. I have been working in financial services for over 20 years and have attained the Chartered Financial Planner status. My experience has been built around research and technical knowledge, and I use this when working with the fellow advisers that I support to provide advice to my clients (and theirs). I enjoy being able to help my clients with their planning, alongside those of the other advisers.

I have found that the answer to all financial planning problems lies within the information we can gather from our clients, therefore, listening and asking lots of questions is key to helping you achieve your goals.

About Me

Outside of work I am a keen cyclist and have recently started criterium racing. Along the two wheeled theme, I also own a motorbike and enjoy touring in the UK and Europe, especially the French Alps.

I believe in a very traditional form of service in my role as a financial adviser. That is providing holistic advice to those who are recommended to me. In many ways this is akin to providing a boutique service, in that all the guidance I give is very specific to the individual receiving the advice and their circumstances.

Typically my clients tend to be in their fifties or sixties and approaching retirement, looking to generate an income having retired, or wanting to consider Inheritance tax planning. In addition I often also look after my clients’ wider family.

About me

I joined HFMC Wealth in 2023, having previously been a director of Weston Cummins where I worked for over 25 years. Over the years I have studied hard to improve the quality of advice that I can provide and I am now a Fellow of the Personal Finance Society.

I get enormous satisfaction from helping my clients achieve their financial objectives, with many becoming long term friends.
Away from the office I love to travel, ski and generally keep fit. Reading and music have been lifelong passions.

I work with long established private client referrals. Over the years I have established a very loyal following which enables me to fulfil planning goals by passing money down through the generations in a tax efficient manner.

Through a very personal and tailored approach, I help my clients fulfil their personal aspirations in regard to their own needs and the needs of the wider family. I have client relationships going back over 30 years. Building these relationships on trust and integrity makes my work extremely rewarding and fulfilling.

About me?

I joined HFMC Wealth in 2023, having previously been the owner of Weston Cummins which I founded in 1990.

I am married with two children and two grandchildren and live in Hampshire.

Specialising in working with entrepreneurs, professionals and their families, I’m passionate about helping people have a rich and fulfilling life, both now and in the future.
 
I do this by creating bespoke financial plans that bring this into focus, and by guiding clients to be more intentional with their money over the long term.

About me?

I’m a Chartered Financial Planner with over a decade of experience in financial services.
 
Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of working with diverse and interesting clients, in my previous roles at a Private Bank and a chartered financial planning firm, and now at HFMC Wealth.
 
For me, living a rich and fulfilling life means travelling extensively, seeking out new challenges and experiences, and keeping physically and mentally active. On the weekends, I can be found out and about, enjoying all of the great live music, theatre, and most importantly, food, that London has to offer.

I joined HFMC in 2001, to help build an Employee Benefits division. This now forms a significant part of HFMC Wealth’s turnover. With over 30 years experience in advising corporate clients (focusing predominantly in the SME space), our ethos is to work closely in partnership with our clients to help them build a successful and market competitive employee benefits strategy.

This is achieved through a combination of effective communication and good governance, aligned with a very personal service-driven approach.  I enjoy working with employers who are passionate about engaging employees in the importance and merits of their workplace ir pension and core benefits schemes.

The employee benefits team’s mantra is to offer our clients integrity, professionalism, and years of experience. The service we provide is very personal and “hands on”, with a focus on simplifying what can often be a ‘jargon-heavy’ industry through clear communication, whether that’s in one-to-one meetings or in staff presentations.

How do we help?

Whatever the size or sector of your business, HFMC’s Employee Benefits (EB) department has been building bespoke employee benefit programmes for our corporate clients since 2000.

We will get to the core of your business objectives and find out what really matters to you and your staff. Through employee education, our team will ensure they fully understand the value of your employee benefits’ package. You will fulfil your statutory employer obligations while enlightening key members of staff in the process.

HFMC Wealth has additionally been recognised and awarded the coveted Corporate Chartered Financial Planner title for our commitment to excellence and professionalism.  This differentiates us from mainstream employee benefit consultancies. 

The division, which forms a substantial part of HFMC Group, manages pension schemes with total assets approaching £200M and represents around 4,500 employees. In addition, we have a substantial book of group risk. As a result, we are able to negotiate competitive terms with leading insurers.

About me?

Beyond work, my interests are food, tennis trying to keep fit and spending time with my family.

The post Jason Lines appeared first on HFMC Wealth.

I work in close partnership with my clients. I advise on clients from all walks of life including Medical, Media, Sports, Entertainment and Professionals who have very busy lives. Regardless of background all like to find a Trusted Adviser who can assist them with their planning to secure their Future Wellbeing.

About me?

I graduated in 1981 and joined a graduate programme in Financial Services. Following this in 1985 I established a directly authorised Financial Services business in conjunction with a Firm of West End accountants.

In 1988, having gained a wealth of experience with both individual and corporate clients I joined R & S Associates as a Partner.  During this time I continued to develop Professional Connections with Accountants and Solicitors, advising both individual and corporate clients.

I chose to ally R&S Associates with HFMC Wealth in 2023 so that I could provide a greater range of services to my high net worth clients, something that was difficult to do as a smaller firm.

Away from the office, I have a passion for music and in particular, Jazz. I also have a passion for climbing mountains and have done so for many years, although the mountains seems to get higher and harder as the years go on!

I work predominantly with private clients. I focus on helping clients protect what they have, and to successfully transfer their wealth to future generations, whilst ensuring they retain sufficient to support their desired lifestyle. This often results in working closely and collaboratively with my client’s legal and tax advisers.

My clients are frequently entrepreneurs, and senior managers and directors who are either approaching or have recently made the transition into retirement. My clients are frequently time poor and looking for a trusted adviser to whom they can delegate.

The most enjoyable part of my role is working with our clients. Meeting new people, hearing their story, and understanding where they are in life, how they have got there, and what lies ahead is fascinating, as everyone is unique. I find it incredibly rewarding being able to simplify complex decisions, and helping clients make sensible informed decisions around their future options.

About me?

Outside work, I have been married to Marie since 2003, and we have two children. We enjoy walking in the local Kent countryside where we live, especially if a pub beer garden can be included in the route! I enjoy a social round of golf, and a day at the test match with friends is a regular summer event.

I started working in Financial Services in 1987 in the City of London. After 20 years in various corporate roles, with insurance companies AXA and Aviva, and then with the Swiss private bank UBS, I decided it was the right time use the experience gained in an advice role.

I was previously working alongside Vince Lane at R&S Associates as a Chartered Financial Planner until our alliance with HFMC Wealth in 2023, providing a greater range of services to my high net worth clients, something that was difficult to do as a smaller firm.

The post Louise Shepherd APFS appeared first on HFMC Wealth.

I have been involved in Financial Services for 30 years. I help individuals, families and business make sound financial decisions to help achieve their goals. I work mainly with clients in the Southeast of England and I have a strong relation with Accountants and Solicitors where many of my client referrals emanate. My advice is provided in a fee basis with the first consultation carried out on a non-cost no obligation basis. I utilise the latest financial planning software to demonstrate the initial plan which is then reviewed regularly to ensure it remains on track.

About me?

Outside of work I enjoy most sports but other than golf I tend to be a taxi service for my children’s sporting activity.
