Daniel Blandford

I advise private clients on every aspect of investment, retirement, financial and succession planning. A strong advocate of cash flow modelling, I specialise in bringing clarity to, and informing, complex financial planning and developing tailored strategies for retirement.

I look after a variety of private clients, ranging from families to high net worth individuals; and trusts to charities. I adopt a systematic and compassionate approach to ensure clients understand all aspects of their financial planning; and provide a bespoke strategy to ensure longer-term objectives are achieved.

I joined The Private Office in 2017 and am a Chartered Financial Planner and a Fellow of the Personal Finance Society. I engage in many specialisms within financial planning, such as defined benefit pensions, equity release and long-term care insurance.

I am also involved in delivering seminars and advising, senior employees and executives.

Advice spotlight

On the back of speaking at a recent TPO seminar, educating prospective clients on retirement planning, I worked closely with a client coming up to retirement. Through concise planning I implemented a bespoke plan which outlined an appropriate level of tax free pension income whilst considering the level of spousal pension needed.

Daniel explained all the mortgage options available in a clear and concise manner which enabled me to make an informed decision about my renewal. He also went through my pension statements with me explaining all the complex terms and what it meant long term.
