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.

Stop waiting for life to settle down

Many of us spend years waiting for life to finally “settle down.” But the truth is, it never really does; it just changes shape. Your twenties are a blur of glorious chaos. Your thirties are when responsibility taps you on the shoulder. And your forties? Your forties are simply everything, all at once. Right now,...Continue reading→

Always be prepared

(and other lessons from the chicken coop) I know I’ve said this before, but the Scouts had it right when they coined their mantra; “Be prepared.” It is a brilliant motto for life in general. But when you live an international life, balancing your family, your career, and your finances across different countries, it becomes...Continue reading→
