On the job

On the job

As a lifestyle financial planner, Jordan’s aim is simple: to help his clients enjoy meaningful lives with the money they have available.

 

Having worked at the intersection of life and money for several years, Jordan’s approach is rooted in the belief that money should serve the individual and the life they wish to lead. Even the most sophisticated investment portfolio has little value if it doesn’t bring someone closer to their personal goals.

 

Jordan’s attention is firmly on the things within his clients’ control, rather than those outside it, such as investment markets and headlines. He finds this approach particularly valuable when working with accomplished individuals who have busy lives and competing priorities. As a Chartered financial planner, he can also provide holistic advice across pensions, investments, tax, and estate planning.

After hours

After hours

Jordan divides his time between London and Leicestershire, where he and his partner recently bought a renovation project in the village they grew up in. London, where he built his career and business, still feels like home, but he enjoys having the best of both worlds.

 

Outside of work, Jordan’s interests include cycling and skiing. A lifelong cycling enthusiast, he’s travelled to Mallorca to tackle its famous mountain roads, while more recently he’s taken up skiing, with trips to Chamonix, Avoriaz, and Sauze d’Oulx. He’s also partial to exploring local farm shops, enjoying a long lunch, and perfecting his homemade pizza, with mixed results so far!

On an ideal weekend, where can we find you?

Pottering around south-west London, wandering between Battersea, Chelsea, Belgravia, and Victoria, and stopping for a good coffee, a long lunch, and a pint or two along the way.

Who would be at your dream dinner party?

Rudyard Kipling, Carl Jung, and Socrates.

What activity would you win an Olympic medal in?

Financial planning.

What was your proudest moment as an IFA?

Winning your first client is always going to be special, right?

What do you enjoy most about your job?

The first is getting to know successful people from every walk of life and coming to understand them properly: their biggest fears, their deepest desires, and what truly matters to them. 

The second is the psychology of it, connecting the dots to understand why someone holds the views and beliefs they do, because that’s usually where the real planning begins. 

The third is playing devil’s advocate, since respectfully challenging assumptions makes for better conversations, and better conversations make for better financial plans.

What is your favourite holiday destination?

The French Alps – specifically Morzine. Perfect for hiking and biking in the summer; perfect for skiing in the winter.

Who do you most enjoy working with?

Go-getters. People who understand that money isn’t an end in itself but a means to a meaningful life. People who want to look back with few regrets, knowing they wholeheartedly pursued their own version of a good life.
