Financial planning for total peace of mind

Face the future with confidence

Helping our clients for over 25 years

We’ve been helping clients achieve financial freedom since 1999. Julian Gilbert set up the company because he was dissatisfied by the alternatives on offer and felt passionately about doing right by clients.

That ethos has grown with us into the thriving business we are today, providing bespoke financial planning solutions for our client base of professionals, freelance contractors, business owners, and many more besides.

    Armed with a financial plan, you can live your life to the full, safe in the knowledge that you won’t run out of money.

We help people like you:

✔ Understand what shape your finances are in

What we do

We Need To Talk About Inheritance Tax

Many people fall into the trap of thinking that they’re not wealthy enough to worry about Inheritance Tax (IHT). But it’s a situation that’s catching out many families – from all different walks of life.

At Wealth Matters, we don’t want to see that happen. That’s why we’ve produced this simple guide to help you understand if your estate falls into IHT territory. And if it does, what you can do to pass more of it on to your loved ones – and less of it to the taxman.

Why we’re different

    Nothing is too much trouble at Wealth Matters – and you’ll feel that from day one. Our highly qualified, expert team understands that everyone’s needs are different. We go above and beyond to bring you the very best service.
