Meredith Oakwood

Head of Family Financial Planning

After wrestling with her own family's grocery budget for years, Meredith discovered that most financial advice completely ignores the reality of raising kids. She spent eight years developing practical budgeting systems that actually work when your toddler decides cereal belongs on the floor. Her approach focuses on building financial habits that survive school holidays, birthday parties, and the inevitable "Mum, I need £20 for tomorrow" requests.

Our Family-First Philosophy

Traditional financial advice treats families like businesses – all spreadsheets and strict categories. But real families don't work that way. Kids grow out of shoes faster than you can budget for them, and sometimes you need to choose between the electric bill and your daughter's school trip.

Real-Life Solutions

We create budgets that bend without breaking, because life with children rarely follows a neat monthly pattern.

No Judgment Zone

Every family has bought takeaway instead of cooking, or spent too much on Christmas. We start from wherever you are, not where you think you should be.

Small Wins First

Building financial confidence starts with tiny victories – like finding an extra £10 in your weekly shop or successfully saving for a family day out.
