David Dodgson
When providing advice my primary aim is to assist clients gain an appreciation of what lifestyle their current and future wealth is capable of delivering.
I am a strong advocate of the use of cash flow modelling to provide a context for informed, ongoing, financial decision making within a lifetime financial plan.
My approach to advice has proved successful for various types of client. However I have experienced particular success in providing financial advice that focuses upon achieving optimal financial outcomes during divorce negotiations and post divorce settlement.
My ability to demystify the complexities around pensions on divorce has proved of great value to both clients and matrimonial solicitors.

What people say about me
VERIFIED REVIEW AT 
November 2018, Berkshire
David immediately understood and had experience of the situation I was in . He had worked with actuaries and their reports before and was able to explain it all to me and to act as quickly and effectively on my behalf as was possible in the circumstances.

I have worked with at least four financial advisers over the past forty years and David is undoubtedly the best at adapting his style to what I like: clarity, absence of pomposity, willing to question dogma and accepting our financial priorities.
