director, financial planner
Over the years, Alex has been recognised within the profession for his technical knowledge and client-focused approach, including being named among the UK’s top financial advisers under 35 earlier in his career. He has also regularly featured in financial publications and provided commentary on areas ranging from pensions and tax planning to complex cross-border financial issues.
Much of the firm’s work involves helping individuals and families with increasingly international financial lives, including overseas pensions, residency and tax considerations, and planning where assets, income, or future goals span multiple jurisdictions. Alex has also become a point of reference for other professionals — both within financial services and related industries — seeking guidance on technical and overseas planning matters.
The focus at N2 has remained the same throughout: understand the client’s life first, build the planning around it second, and only then decide which products or structures best support it.
Outside of work, Alex enjoys spending time with his wife, Georgia, and their son, Jenson, along with travelling, football, and the occasional attempt to switch off from the world of financial planning.
