In the office

Paul has 25 years’ experience as an independent financial adviser, working predominantly alongside accountancy firms before setting up Stratagem Financial Planning together with David.

A large number of Paul’s personal clients are business owners who find their business and personal lives (and wealth) entwined.

Paul advises on all aspects on financial planning providing a holistic service that includes business protection, key person, shareholder insurance and pension planning. Paul has many years experience providing specialist investment advice for trusts, trustees and personal injury clients.

Off the clock

Being of Italian descent (and a well-known feeder), Paul naturally has a love of food, wine and cooking.

He’s happiest when making home-cooked meals for those he loves. As a foodie he’s conscious of the need to burn those calories, so he makes sure to stay active.

You’ll regularly find him either in the gym or in his hiking boots in the great outdoors.

Importantly

It’s important to always check the credentials of any financial planner you’re considering working with. You can view Paul’s important information below.

Darren Ramsey

Working with Stratagem gives me the confidence that my investments are being well looked after.

Paul is very friendly, personable, very easy to work with and helps me to understand the detail. The online service provided to track and monitor performance of the investments is also excellent. I am extremely happy with the overall service.
