Daniel Schofield

I am a founding Partner of The Private Office, my portfolio includes entrepreneurial clients, owners of private companies, private clients, those approaching or at retirement and trustees.

My advice is predominantly focused on the disciplines of personal and corporate financial planning, investment portfolio management, Inheritance Tax (IHT) planning and mitigation, legacy and succession planning, and cash-based investments.

I work closely with a trusted group of professional peers to provide a truly holistic service to clients which is both advice and solution-orientated. I trained with a Harrogate-based firm of Independent Financial Advisers from 1997 before joining Chase de Vere Financial Advisers as an Area Manager and practicing financial planner.

With approximately 65 clients and advised assets of £70 million, my aim is to provide a Partner-led service that is augmented by other team members as and when required.

This approach is essential to ensuring that my clients know that I can always be their first port of call for any query, big or small.

November 2018, Bedfordshire

Approaching retirement has influenced my needs going forwards and attitude to roller coaster markets. Daniels common sense and expertise over the years means I am now in the position to enjoy the retirement I have always worked towards, I can't think of anything specifically I would suggest could have been done better.

November 2018, East Riding

Daniel is extremely thorough in understanding his client's requirements, submitting detailed written reports supported with technical literature, explaining and justifying his recommendations and ensuring that the client fully understands the whole process - Daniel is an excellent communicator and is patient, which is important, as financial planning is complex and often overwhelming for the novice.
