About you
If you are seeking the help of a financial professional, you might be asking questions such as:
Can we afford to live the life we want to live when we retire?
Everyone’s desired retirement lifestyle is unique. It is important to first identify what yours looks like. We will help you to define yours, then work with you to align your money with your aspirations.
When will we be able to choose to stop working?
We all want to be able to retire on our own terms. We will help you to understand and optimise your wealth, so that you can retire with confidence when the time is right.
How do I sort out my pensions?
It can be difficult to know what sort of retirement income your pensions will provide. We will analyse your pensions and overall wealth, then recommend any changes needed to achieve the retirement you want.
Am I invested suitably?
It is essential that you take the appropriate amount of risk with your investments. If you do not, you risk disappointment. We will ensure your money is invested in line with your goals and preferences.
How would one of us being unable to work affect our finances?
If illness or redundancy means you or your partner can no longer work, it is essential you have a plan in place. We will help you to safeguard your family and wealth against long periods of time without income.
What happens to my partner if I die (or to me if they die)?
It can be difficult to think about life without your partner. Nevertheless, we will help you to prepare well and ensure that you are financially secure no matter the circumstances.
Can we manage financially if one or both of us needs long-term care?
In life, it can help to expect the unexpected. If you or your partner requires long-term care because of an illness or disability, we will ensure you have the security of a robust financial plan.
Can we afford to help our family financially?
Many of us would like to support family; both in our lifetimes and after we have gone. We will help you to strike the perfect balance between an enjoyable retirement and a meaningful legacy for your loved ones.
A pension is a long-term investment not normally accessible until 55 (57 from April 2028). Life Assurance plans typically have no cash in value at any time and cover will cease at the end of term. If premiums stop, then cover will lapse. The Financial Conduct Authority does not regulate Tax and Estate planning. The Financial Conduct Authority does not regulate Tax planning. The Financial Conduct Authority does not regulate Trusts. The value of your investment (and any income from them) can go down as well as up and you may not get back the full amount you invested.
From our experience, we know these questions can arise at any time in life. Financial planning is the key to resolving your concerns and clarifying what the future might hold.
We specialise in helping private clients, business owners and trustees:

We’re incredibly proud of the work we do. Here are the real words of real clients.
Twenty years ago, my accountant recommended Matt Webb as a first-class financial adviser, and that has proved to be the case. Matt is always courteous and ready to explain any questions I may have.
Matt has been our financial adviser for a number of years, and we look forward to working with him for many years to come. His expertise, advice, guidance and reliability have been at the heart of the trusting relationship from which we benefit.
Matt has a very good understanding of his clients’ needs and nothing is ever too much trouble. Matt is very knowledgeable and explains everything clearly and in sufficient detail to enable an informed decision to be made. He deals with everything quickly and efficiently and responds promptly to every query. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Matt to anyone seeking any form of financial advice.
I was introduced to Steve in 2008. I genuinely trust and appreciate the professional advice given to me and my family. The ongoing investment and pension advice has been invaluable through the good and the bad times and I have had no hesitation in recommending Steve to family and friends.
Lync (previously operated as PWS Financial Consulting) has been our financial adviser since 2005. The team has always offered sound financial advice based on our investment objectives and personal needs. They keep in regular contact, explain our options clearly and guide us in an appropriate direction. We feel they truly care about us, our finances and our future.
Having been a client for over 20 years, I cannot recommend the firm too highly. The levels of professionalism and product knowledge are excellent. The team takes a genuine interest in client and family circumstances and provides continuity of personnel, which is crucial for client comfort. Fees are realistic and ease of consultation is made a priority. I would not hesitate to recommend their services.
