ARE YOU TIME POOR BUT IN NEED OF FINANCIAL PLANNING?
If you're a professional in the finance, property, legal, or technology sectors, there's a good chance that your hours are long and that you're time-poor as a result. You may also be wondering about how to plan ahead for the future. I work with many professionals on blossoming career paths and have a good understanding of the kinds of thing you should be considering.
I've put together this simple page to let you know a little bit more about us, and how I may be able to help you with an exclusive no-obligation consultation.
Tom Donlea
Financial Planner
why work with me
I work with many professionals, and have a good idea of the needs that you have. I will always spend time learning about what your 'future perfect' is and how your career progression will align with your personal goals.
I'll help you maximise your income and savings in the most tax-efficient manner for your current and short-term goals.
I can determine if your pension arrangements are fit for purpose and in line with your 'future perfect'.
If you have shares in the business that you work for, I can build strategies for diversifying this accrued wealth in a tax-efficient manner.
If you have a family, we can examine ways to ensure they are financially covered in the event something happens to you.
Ultimately we can help you take control of both your personal and business financial planning, and help you achieve the things that matter most to you.
The value of an investment with St. James's Place will be directly linked to the performance of the funds selected and the value may fall as well as rise. You may get back less than you invested.
The levels and bases of taxation and reliefs from taxation can change at any time. Tax relief is dependent on individual circumstances.
MY APPROACH
1. Do we fit?
A brief introductory phone call will establish how I may be able to help you and find out if we are right for each other. Should we agree there are grounds for a potential working relationship, we can then schedule a no-obligation discovery meeting.
2. Discovery meeting
During this, I'll be looking to understand what your 'future perfect' is for you and your family; including your short, medium and long term goals, and your values. We will also establish an understanding of your current financial setup and some of the things that will be required to help you achieve your goals. After this meeting, I will follow up in writing to provide an overview of our discussions, and confirm what further steps and information is required.
3. Financial Roadmap meeting
In this meeting, I will present to you a personalised financial roadmap that is built around your goals and your incomes, outgoings and assets. The roadmap is created using best-in-class financial modelling software. It will show you a snapshot of your current financial setup and will demonstrate if you are on track to achieving your goals. We will also discuss a proposed strategy for improving and optimising your setup; and upon your acceptance to proceed, we will discuss the steps required to implement the plan.
4. Becoming a client
Part of being a client of Castell Wealth Management means that we will regularly review with you the progress of your financial roadmap. We will hold periodic review meetings to ensure that I maintain an up-to-date understanding of your evolving needs and keep the plan on track over time.

“I have a vision to create my own business, but planning for immediate set-up costs whilst juggling the usual costs of running a family has always prevented me. Tom is helping me to unlock the aspiration to start a business by rationalising my existing estate, and managing my existing and projected outgoings. Tom's effort and expertise has been a great help.”
Hugo W, Asset Manager
“Tom has genuine enthusiasm, and his friendly disposition put me at ease throughout. He was able to demystify the scary concept of personal finance in a clear way. I feel I've gained an ally that understands my financial goals and what's more, an ally who can help me achieve them. This is of course underpinned by empathy and expertise. I couldn't recommend him highly enough.”
