I help people at a financial crossroads, think clearly, decide confidently and move forward with a plan.
Do you want more clarity and control of your finances?
If so, you are far from alone. Financial stress tends to peak at life's key turning points — approaching retirement, navigating a relationship change, moving home, or simply feeling that your money isn't working the way it should. These moments often arrive with urgency, complexity, and emotion all at once. Working with someone who can help you think clearly, cut through the noise, and build a plan you can act on with confidence makes a real difference.
My name is Nick Thompson and I understand financial complexity from the inside. After careers in stockbroking and wealth advising, I built and managed a substantial residential property portfolio — and then made the deliberate decision to step back, restructure, and create a financial life that genuinely worked for me. That personal transition, combined with deep professional experience across investments, pensions, property and wider financial planning, gives me a practical and grounded perspective that is rare in the coaching world. I now bring that experience to the people I work with.
So what do I do?
My background in stockbroking, wealth advising and property, combined with my qualification as a financial coach, allows me to blend practical financial knowledge with mindset and behaviour change. I work with private individuals, families, and large corporate organisations — helping people at all kinds of financial crossroads gain clarity on where they stand, what matters, and what to do next. I do not provide regulated financial advice.
Why not schedule a brief video call to tell me your story. We'll see if we hit it off together and discuss how I might help.
So who do I help ?
I work with individuals, families and professionals who are facing a significant financial turning point. This might mean approaching retirement and needing a clear plan, navigating a separation or relationship change with complex finances involved, property portfolios, wealth that needs restructuring, or simply feeling overwhelmed by financial decisions that have become too important to leave to chance.
Whatever brings people to me, they tend to want to think more clearly about money and feel genuinely in control.

We begin with a blank sheet of paper and build from there. I help you develop a clear strategy and crucially, hold you accountable to it. Lack of accountability is often the one thing standing between a good plan and meaningful progress. As your accountability partner, I make sure decisions become actions. If you're ready to take the first step, get in touch and let's talk.
So how do we take this further?
Our work may begin with a single session or develop into a longer engagement. I rarely work with clients for more than three months initially. We start with a broad objective — gaining financial clarity, reducing pressure, planning the next stage — and focus on progress, decisions and habit change. We often review together annually after that.
Sessions are available as individual hourly meetings or as a structured package. I generally recommend meeting every two to three weeks to maintain momentum. Our time together is delivered by video call or in person from my base in South Manchester.
My only requirement from clients is that you are committed to the process. Clarity breeds confidence which results in control.
Get in touch and take those first steps towards your improved financial confidence.
Not only did I get answers and a clear plan of action, I felt galvanised and inspired to actually implement the plan, which felt very achievable. Nick is both very knowledgeable and approachable.
Money isn't often an easy subject to discuss, for many reasons, but Nick created an environment in which I felt comfortable discussing everything I needed to.”

I found Nick to be non-judgmental and very experienced about financial matters. Nick has a calm and reassuring manner and is willing to be challenging in a supportive way.
Our video coaching sessions were well structured and flowed. At the end of each session, we had set mini goals to work on and by the end of our time together we had successfully covered the whole topic I wanted to reduce my exposure to property, I was asset rich but cash poor.
I would recommend Nick to anyone looking to review and reset the way they think about and manage their money.”

I’ve worked with Nick for the past year and he’s been extremely helpful in supporting the growth of my property portfolio.
He has a real ability to provide a bird’s-eye view, helping me clearly see where changes and improvements should be made.
Nick brings years of experience, and I always feel a sense of calm, clarity, and understanding when speaking with him.
On top of that, he’s genuinely an amazing person to be around. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough.

Where Nick shines, is how he translates seemingly complex challenges into simple steps.
He listens with care and quickly inspires action with his carefully chosen questions.
