Why clients work with me.

Living an international life can be exciting, but it also comes with its unique financial complexities. Having moved around the world with my own family, I understand the challenges of navigating different financial systems while trying to build a stable, fulfilling life.

As a UK-qualified Certified Financial Planner (CFP™), Chartered Fellow (Financial Planning), and Pension Specialist with over 15 years of experience, I work closely with clients across the UK, Europe, the USA, and throughout Africa. Whether you’re consolidating pensions from different countries, navigating complex tax landscapes, or ensuring your loved ones are protected, I’m here to help.

I’ve built my practice on straightforward conversations, a deep understanding of international finance, and a commitment to guiding clients towards clarity and confidence. It’s about making sure your financial plans support the life you want to live, wherever in the world that may be.

Let’s make sure your financial foundation travels as confidently as you do. Reach out, and let’s have a conversation about how I can help you protect, grow, and enjoy your wealth, no matter where life takes you.

Do you want to hear from me?

Before you migrate.

“Don’t play chicken with your financial plan.”

Money isn't just currency; it's a storyteller, shaping narratives of our lives and dreams.

I have learnt that every financial decision weaves into the larger story of your life. Just as I use tales from my chicken coop to illustrate lessons and bring smiles, I apply the same narrative approach to finance, helping you craft a financial plan that reflects your values and aspirations.

Client Testimonials

I appreciate and enjoy Michael's approach, where he doesn't get too bogged down in the details. The first 6 or so meetings were informal and fact-finding, with frequent chats on non-monetary life items - some may want a more formal 'buttoned down' approach (although that's not to say Michael couldn't do that).

Just here for the jokes?

Written by my comedi-hen.

A hen’s favourite movie is always a chick-flic.

Chickens need to wake up with an alarm-cluck.

In the olden days, hens would always send letters in a hen-velope.

Michael Yuille is a master of egg-onomics.

You know it’s a bad hen if it lays deviled eggs.

The toughest chickens in the yard come from hard-boiled eggs.

Hens leave the coop through the eggs-it.

Chickens never tell jokes to their eggs, because they might crack up.

Chickens can jump higher than houses, because houses can’t jump.

These jokes are simply impeckable.

No bad jokes. Just solid conversations.

Why the little things matter most

On a typical Saturday morning in our corner of rural France, and I’m already out the door before most of our neighbours. Not because I’m rushing to a meeting, or trying to get in my 10 000 steps, but because I need to beat the rush… to the boulangerie! By mid-morning, the shelves will be...Continue reading→

Have you considered a mini-retirement?

When I grew up, we were told a story about retirement: work hard for 40 years, save as much as you can, then retire around 65 and finally start living. But what if that model doesn’t fit anymore? What if we’ve outgrown the idea of life as a straight line from work to rest? More...Continue reading→

What rattles the markets

When new tariffs are announced, global tensions rise… we often see certain markets tumble. And, investors panic. It doesn’t matter where you live, or what you do – or even how much you’ve invested. If you’re an investor and you read headlines that rattle the markets, we mustn’t let them rattle your financial plan! And…...Continue reading→
