About
Alex is a Partner for The Private Office in London, but also covering areas such as Cambridge, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Hertfordshire. As a highly-qualified Chartered Financial Planner, he advises his clients on all aspects of financial, investment, and retirement planning. He believes in building client relationships based on trust, integrity and empathy, and has dedicated a large proportion of his client work to working with vulnerable persons who have suffered from personal injury or clinical negligence.
Alex specialises in lifetime financial planning and cash-flow modelling to empower clients to take control of their financial future and achieve complete financial independence. His experience also includes defined benefit pension transfers and he is one of several Pension Transfer Gold Standard Specialists at TPO.
In addition to being a Fellow of the Personal Finance Society (PFS), he is a Chartered member of the Chartered Institute for Securities and Investments and has certificates in Financial Planning & Lifetime Mortgage Activities, Financial Planning & Long Term Care Insurance and Life & Pensions.
Alex graduated from the University of Hull with a BSc in Economics and has worked in financial advice for over thirty years, joining and becoming a Partner of The Private Office in 2014. He has provided comments for a number of publications, including the Financial Times, The Telegraph, and FT Adviser.
When he is not working with clients, Alex can be found cycling in France and the Chilterns, running marathons and, when not being led a merry dance by three teenage daughters, is an avid enthusiast of music and silent film. He is also a committee member and active volunteer for Project Volunteer – a small charity that works alongside SOS Children’s Villages in Botswana to help support and develop resources for its orphanages.

As featured in
I had an introductory conversation with Alex concerning my future pension plans. He was very knowledgeable and honest, and we were able to discuss my options to proceed in some degree of detail in just a short call. His depth of knowledge in the field was apparent, and I would have no hesitation in recommending him as a potential IFA to someone requiring advice in the area of pensions.
September 2024
I am one year into our relationship and very happy with the immediate performance of the portfolio and pleased that our discussions resulted in ethical investments. Alex and his team have been assiduous in getting to know us, communicating on a regular basis and very helpful and insightful in responding to our questions.
