Hi, I'm Nick. A financial coach for people at a crossroads.

Where my story starts

 

My background is in money. I've worked in stockbroking and wealth advice, and I spent years building a residential property portfolio. In 2018 I sold a successful property management business and began carefully scaling back a portfolio of 47 properties, investing the proceeds to support the kind of life I actually wanted to lead.

 

On paper, that looked like a success story. In practice, it was one of the most uncertain stretches of my life. I knew the technical side. What I didn't have was clarity about what my money was really for, or the confidence to make big decisions and stick to them.

 

That experience taught me something I now share with every client: real wealth is rarely about the numbers. It's about whether your money is genuinely working for the life you want to live.

 

What I do now

 

I'm a qualified financial coach. I work with individuals, families and professionals who are at a financial turning point. Approaching retirement. Going through a separation. Moving home. Selling a business or property. Or simply feeling that money decisions have become too important to leave to chance.

 

I help you get clear on where you are, decide what you want, and build a plan you'll actually follow, with someone holding you to it along the way.

 

What I don't do

 

I don't provide regulated financial advice or recommend specific products, pensions or investments. If you need that, I'll help you get organised first, so you go to a regulated adviser knowing exactly what you want from them.

​

Where I work

​

I'm based in Cheadle, South Manchester. I see people face to face in my garden office, and by video call anywhere in the UK.

Why not schedule a brief video call to tell me your story. We'll see if we are a fit for each other and discuss how I might help.

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.”              

TOM . P

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.”                                           

MARK . H                                   

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.                                          

ALEXANDER . L

​

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.

​

I cannot recommend Nick highly enough as a coach. 

​

Engage with this man if you are serious about changing your relationship with success and finance.”
