Beaufort Financial Westerham is an independent Financial Adviser that offers sophisticated and transparent financial advice to individual clients and private companies.
Rising pension ages and life expectancy means retirement now happens later in life and is longer than ever before. Taking financial advice is important when planning your retirement and pension pots; what you are accruing through your working life will need to support your lifestyle in retirement.
Whatever your aspirations, Beaufort Financial will help you make the most of your pension and other investments so you can enjoy the retirement you deserve.
Retirement planning is complicated and has been made even more so by constant changes to the rules. We make it our business to stay up to date with the latest tax rules so that you can take full advantage of the available tax breaks.
We offer a free no-obligation initial consultation to discuss your financial needs.

Saving for retirement
Retirement is something most of us look forward to – particularly on a Monday morning. However, those thoughts are often little more than a whimsical cocktail of not having to work and prolonged holidays. The reality could be rather different.
Pensions tax planning for high earners
If you are a high earner and feel you are paying more and more tax, you are not alone. More than one in seven income taxpayers are taxed at the higher or additional rate and they pay about two thirds of all income tax.
Taking income at retirement
There comes a time when you stop working for your money and put your money to work for you. For most people, that is retirement.

Thank you Paul for visiting my home recently for a dig through our various life insurance policies. I left my wife to run the meet and greet and she was very impressed with Paul's analytical approach, obvious knowledge and professional yet friendly manner. We were very happy that Paul was able to advise us on a type of cover we should be looking for and presented us with option on policies that were much more useful and with much cheaper premiums. Paul even made the form filling as simple as possible and for that we are grateful.The Gibsons

I have known Iain Whitechurch for over 10 years now and he always provided me with expert advice on my investments and mortgages. He is a true expert in his field. Iain's knowledge and experience is backed by his pleasant and professional approach.

Iain has spent quality time with me to understand my situation, my preferences, and my approach to investments. He has a great way of explaining things, and de-mystifying the most complex of matters and distilling it into something very easy to comprehend so that you can make informed decisions over your own financial affairs. Whatever your level of understanding and financial experience, he will adjust his approach and tailor it to suit your individual needs, taking time to be sure you are fully up to speed with whatever you are reviewing. Having worked with a number of IFAs in the past, I now feel totally at ease and confident working with Iain on an ongoing and regular basis to navigate the minefield of professional financial advice and financial services.S Khadka-Lowe, Director.

For almost 20 years I have used the services and advice from Iain Whitechurch, the services offered included, mortgages and re-mortgages, children's saving plans and pensions in the main. The advice was always given at a level that was understandable and appropriate for my financial situation at the various times though out the last 20 years, which due to unforeseen circumstances has been ever changing. Along with the expert advice and service Iain has become an integral part in my financial future plans and decisions. He has also offered this same advice to my now adult children as they have always known him and trust his ability and advice. I have no reservations about recommending his services to family and friends, his friendly yet professional approach make dealing with financial decisions a less stressful experience.A Scutt, Specialist Nurse Manager, Copthorne

Gerard is a highly professional and knowledgeable financial adviser who I would unquestioningly recommend to anyone for advice and help. Picture him as an intrepid jungle guide, cutting a swathe through an otherwise thick, uninviting and seemingly tangled financial world and you won't go far wrong. He's helped my wife and I for a number of years and remains our go to adviser.Andy Cutbill, Co-Founder of Mr Bridger, ECD at ?What If! Innovation Partners

Iain is an honest guy who cares about the service he provides to his clients. His advice is always clear & well thought through.Stuart Gilbert
I gladly recommend Iain for his work as a financial adviser for me and for many other people I know within our network of friends and business colleagues. Above all, his knowledge of what is available and his expert opinion and advice has been, and continues to be completely reliable. I believe Iain delivers top quality as a person and within his business.Gerry Boniface, Sales Leader
I first hired Felix in April 2011 to arrange my critical illness cover. Now I am notoriously hard to pin down to arrange stuff like this due to my constant work load. Felix was totally understanding of this and his incredible perseverance with me resulted in finally securing an excellent policy for me in March 2012. Felix visited me at my workshop on a number of occasions to gain all the relevant information that he needed. I cannot thank Felix enough for his hard work and patience and will be glad to recommend him in the future. And he makes a damn fine cup of tea as well!Richard Wallage
