Olivia at work
I started with Stonegate as an administrator in 2016 with the view to training as an adviser and gaining experience along the way. I had completed my law degree and postgraduate diploma and was looking for a new challenge. Steve was also looking to grow the business, so it was a great fit for both of us. I am now fully qualified both as an adviser and a paraplanner.
Since December 2021, I have been advising my own clients on various aspects of financial planning. I also work closely with Steve to formalise both new and existing client recommendations and prepare all the documentation required to action them.
I am also a member of the Stonegate Investment Committee, who meet at least quarterly. We are responsible for reviewing and building our own portfolios.
I was awarded Top Rated Adviser status by VouchedFor for the second time in 2024, the UK’s leading customer review site for financial advisers, solicitors, and mortgage advisers.

What do you enjoy most about your job?
I enjoy making a difference to my client’s lives with my recommendations. I also love a natter and a cup of tea with them when we come to review the work we’ve done for them previously.
The important stuff
Firms and individuals must be authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to carry out regulated financial service activities. You can view my FCA registration here.
All financial advisers and planners in the UK must meet certain professional standards and requirements set out by the FCA. One of these requirements is to hold a Statement of Professional Standing (SPS).
