Senior Executives
One of the challenges of working for a large multinational business is that a significant portion of your wealth tends to be tied up, either with your occupational pension scheme and/ or shares in the business. To compound this, most of your financial planning comes from financial advisors chosen by corporate, rather than planners focused specifically on your individual needs.
Whether you are a CFO for a large pharmaceutical business, Head of Marketing for a Tech business, Director of Operations for an indigenous engineering company, you have financial planning needs. Whilst your company may provide you with the core benefits such as pensions, life insurance etc., the hard questions usually remain unanswered. Mainly, what do you do with this, and how do you plan for your next stage in your career and your life?
Our advice is focused on the outcome you are trying to achieve. Sometimes it may involve questions around what to do with your RSU’s (Restricted Share Units), maybe even personal shareholdings within the business or the industry. Other times it’s about having pragmatic conversations around promotions for new career opportunities. A lot of the time we can focus on the bottom line, but part of the financial planning process is about asking our clients the right questions to help them make the right decisions. Whilst it is focused on their finances, our human approach ensures we’ll always bring the advice back to the person, and the benefits and costs such a decision can bring.
Medical & Legal Professionals
Most people in these sectors find themselves unable to take advantage of the various tax benefits of being part of a limited company. Our role is to help navigate the financial planning process to ensure you’re maximising what you can do whether as an employee or as a sole trader. Our experience with medical profession ranges from clients who are GP’s managing a local practice in a town in the Midlands, a Dentist trying to compete with the larger multiples entering their sector to Consultants and Surgeons working in some of the best hospitals in the country.
We also have a large number of clients within the legal sector. From Partners in some of the larger cross functional firm’s city center practice, to Owner Operators of a busy provincial practice. The very nature of the day-to-day activities will vary massively, but the complexities regarding managing your finances remain the same. Our financial planning process should be around you making the necessary provisions for your needs, including planning for your exit from the business whether by retirement, acquisition or merger.

Wonderful experience working with Keith from Rockwell. I’m a novice to financials and investment, but Keith took the time to explain everything in detail – but in a way that was easily understood. Would absolutely recommend Rockwell for any & all financial needs.
I worked with Hannah Drennan around the setting up of a detailed financial plan when I started a new position recently. I found Hannah was fantastic to deal with! I would recomment Hannah and Rockwell to anyone looking to create a financial plan and be smarter with their money in general.
I was extremely satisfied with the service and advice I received from Myra O’Neill, much appreciated.
