Wandsworth Business Forum - Have your say for Businesses

This Forum will feature an introduction from Cllr. Kemi Akinola, Deputy Leader, Wandsworth Council/ Cabinet Member with responsibility for Business. We will also hear about other business support initiatives from Susan Shaw, Economic Development Office at Wandsworth Council.

GUEST SPEAKER:

David Henry, Financial Planner at Sylva Financial Planning 

ABOUT:

Running a business can be all consuming, and the demands on your time can naturally mean that you can neglect your personal affairs.

Manging your financial position need not be excessively time consuming, but it is important to spend some time budgeting and planning to ensure that your finances are in order. David understands that time is your most precious commodity, but devoting a similar level of diligence to your personal affairs, as you do your business’ finances, will return a strong investment on time.

David will share some of the practical guidance that he has given to clients, who are also business owners, over the years.

Originally with a legal background, David has worked for two large UK wealth managers during the past thirteen years providing discretionary investment management services to hundreds of families around the UK.

During the course of his career, he has developed a growing interest in financial planning and a desire to provide a wider service to clients than just investment management. In 2023 he therefore chose to qualify as a Certified Financial Planner™, an internationally recognised standard of professionalism amongst financial advisers.
