We analyse current financial positions, investment portfolios, and retirement objectives to develop tailored roadmaps. Using advanced cashflow modelling software, we project future scenarios and implement tax-efficient solutions for sustainable wealth growth.
Workplace Pensions
We help businesses establish and optimise workplace pension schemes that attract and retain talent. Our independent advice covers scheme selection, compliance with auto-enrolment regulations, and employee education. We ensure competitive investment options and cost-effective solutions that align with business objectives while meeting regulatory requirements.
Income Protection
Our income protection policies provide financial security during periods of ill health. We design tailored coverage that replaces a portion of lost income, ensuring financial stability during recovery. Policies are customised to individual circumstances, with flexible terms and comprehensive coverage for both employed and self-employed professionals.

We offer life insurance solutions that protect dependents with financial security in the event of death. Our policies include term life and whole-of-life coverage options, with flexible premium structures and tax-efficient arrangements.

Questions
Are you independent financial advisers?
Yes, we are 100% independent and not tied to any providers. We are directly authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority to provide impartial financial advice.
Is it too late to start retirement planning?
No, it's never too late. We help clients at all life stages create effective retirement strategies, leveraging pension freedoms and tax advantages to maximise their financial security.
Why do I need personal life insurance if my employer provides it?
Employer-provided cover may not be sufficient or permanent. We help establish appropriate personal coverage that remains in place regardless of employment status, ensuring continuous protection for your family.
What should I bring to our first meeting?
Just yourself and any relevant financial documents. We'll discuss your current situation, goals, and create a tailored financial plan during our initial consultation at no cost.
How do you charge for your services?
We agree fees in advance and explain them clearly. Our charges vary depending on the complexity of your needs, with options for one-off advice or ongoing financial planning services.
Do you offer ongoing financial support?
Yes, we provide regular reviews and adjustments to your financial plan as circumstances change. Our ongoing service ensures your financial strategy remains aligned with your evolving goals and market conditions.

I know nothing about mortgages but I have one that I started 10 years ago. I spoke to Oliver on a recommendation from a friend, and I'm so glad I did. He has run through everything and explained it in black in white and gone through all my options. I have now changed my products and Oliver has done everything for me and made it a straight forward and easy process. I would highly recommend Oliver

I've used Oliver as my IFA for a few years now and I have been impressed by how incredibly knowledgeable, responsive and hard working he is. I have experienced many other IFAs over the years, and Oliver is definitely the only one I'd recommend.

My first experience with an IFA and a truly professional and clear service, with no hidden costs! I needed to tidy up some existing pensions and seek some investment advice, and the service I received from Engage Wealth Management was first class.
