Susan Tait
I am one of the founding partners at the firm and advise on all aspects of financial planning.
I have a broad range of experiences dealing with high-net-worth clients who pose complex financial circumstances. I dedicate my time and resources to ensuring the client has a truly holistic strategy that achieves their financial goals.
Since 2003 I have specialised in advising individuals and families where a client has suffered catastrophic personal injury or clinical negligence. I have a wealth of experience working with Trusts and trustees and lay and professional deputies. I understand the needs of my client and the value of supporting their team of professionals.
My technical skills adopt the use of cash-flow modelling to empower clients to take control of their financial future and achieve financial independence. Whether this be for an inheritance tax liability or pension planning, this can offer clarity and a strong foundation for a bespoke financial plan.

What drives me?

Advice spotlight
Whilst working alongside my client’s deputy, we were able to build a financial plan to match the client's ongoing high-income care needs following a catastrophic injury. As this client effectively lost their “earning potential”, it was essential these funds last throughout their lifetime to give financial security and peace of mind.

What people say about me
VERIFIED REVIEW AT 
November 2018, South Yorkshire
Susan is not only very professional as a financial adviser. She is always ready to go that extra mile for us. I have a lot of medical problems which makes me need regular hospital visits. Susan is always prepared to arrange her visits at short notice. She makes financial jargon easy to understand. Susan cares about her clients, we are not just a name or number on a piece of paper.

Susan developed a Lifetime Financial Forecast which has helped me to decide when I can afford to retire, predicted my income during retirement and how much I can afford to spend. My investments have been reviewed and changes made. Susan has also helped me to set up a Trust bank account which is a very complicated process.
