I am privileged to work with clients I respect and admire; creating smart solutions for them and helping them mould their wealth to their lives, sharing their amazing life journeys along the way. I specialise in cash flow planning, asset structuring, pension transfers along with the technicalities of estate and succession planning. I work primarily with high-net-worth individuals, families, entrepreneurs and senior executives with £1m+ of investable assets.

Who do I work with? I work in close partnership with clients, providing in-depth technical analysis of their financial position and how it can be arranged in as efficient a manner possible. In most cases this is centred around an holistic plan that considers a client’s goals, aspirations and objectives and how their finances can be best positioned to meet these over their lifetimes. About me? I have worked in financial services since graduating from university in 2003, initially working for a boutique foreign currency mortgage company before switching focus to financial planning. Over my career I have worked primarily with High Net Worth/Ultra High Net Worth clients in a range of fields from entertainment and sport to medicine and banking.

Luis Amato APFS

Who do I work with? I work closely with my clients to ensure they are getting the most out of their lives whilst maintaining a comfortable and healthy financial situation. My clients range from those in their younger years looking to balance the demands of life around their finances and those in their later years, ensuring they outlive their money and plan for the next generations. It is important for me to put my clients needs at the heart of everything I do as their financial planner and advise them accordingly as their needs/requirements develop. About me? After spending 9 years at a trading company from the early age of 16, I decided to move into the world of financial planning. This was a natural move for me as I’ve always had an interest in the investment world and having invested from an early age myself, I have seen the

Who do I work with? I work with clients and families in setting and then managing their financial goals, giving them more time to focus on what is most important to them. Understanding what has brought a client to where they are currently and what they are looking for in the future is necessary to successfully begin planning to build the financially sustainable lifestyle we all aim for.

Kev Burns APFS

Who do I work with? I work alongside Marcus Carlton providing advice to a range of clients who are cohesive in knowing what is important about money to them and can articulate their future goals which will take money and planning to achieve. Our planning process is quite unique as it has been created with the aim of understanding our clients core values and deepest aspirations first and foremost. We have reshaped the traditional advice delivery and modernised the conversation to deliver a first-class, client centric experience without the industry jargon. Naturally, I thoroughly enjoy working with clients who are willing to be openminded, trust the process, and are assured in knowing they are at the heart of everything I do. The value I add enhances my client’s future, by reducing time spent worrying on finances, and spending more time living. If you are intrigued by our process and would

Who do I work with? My clients are a diverse group, from successful individuals to business owners, who are planning for their futures and now looking for guidance managing their wealth for, and in, retirement. I have built up close relationships with clients over many years, and I enjoy sharing in significant milestones in their lives. Taking the time to really get to know my clients and understand what matters most to them means that they see me as someone they can trust. My aim is to help clients to put together a financial plan where I am able to genuinely deliver the financial outcomes that the client is looking for. I always strive to ensure that people understand the financial decisions they are making and what they need to do to achieve their goals.

Who do I work with? My team and I provide a small number of international and domestic private clients and families with an holistic wealth management service, combining planning, investment management, tax mitigation and the coordination of the family or individual’s professional advisers.
