Save For Something Special
Your Instructor
Claire Sweet is an award-winning Financial Adviser and Money Coach, who is known for her approachable but straight talking manner and is regularly asked to speak on BBC Radio Kent as an expert in her field.
She has been featured in a range of publications including The Telegraph, The Guardian, Moneywise and Sheerluxe and as a guest contributor to the work in progress podcast.
She has a vibrant business, now employing 4 staff, and has been helping clients organise their finances for more than 14 years. Her approach is revolutionary, avoiding the stereotype of a pushy bloke in a suit spouting technical jargon at you who leaves you bewildered and confused. She will treat you as an individual and give you the time and environment to explore what is important to you. Claire will explain everything in a clear and concise way that everyone will understand allowing you to take charge of your future.
Only when she knows what is important to you can she help you put in place a financial plan to achieve your life's goals and ambitions. A clear vision of what Financial Independence should really look like for, without resorting to get-rich quick schemes, or any sort of dodgy pyramid scheme or property club. It's new, exciting and different from the approach of other IFA (Independent Financial Adviser) and financial planning firms you may have met.
It's about your whole life - not just your money. Your money is the tool to enable you to live the life you want. She will encourage you to dream big and then stick with you on your journey to making your dreams reality. I suppose you could call it Financial Life Planning.
Claire will help you create a logical, step-by-step plan to help you understand your finances and will leave you with a specific course of action to take. Nothing will be left to chance!
Claire is passionate about education, advice, and treating everyone as an individual – working with clients at whatever stage in life they are, to make their futures better – and she loves nothing more than a client having an ‘aha or lightbulb’ moment where for the first time they actually understand how to use their finances to move towards their dreams.
She was very proud to win the Canterbury Business Award for Customer Service in 2017 and a MumsUnLtd ‘Shining Star’ Award and Best Business Woman Financial Services Winner in 2018. It is formal recognition that transparency, responsibility and care for clients are indeed at the heart of her business.
Recently having moved to their 'forever house' on a 4.5 acre plot, Claire and her husband Phil, enjoy time outside with their small herd of alpacas. Claire has 2 pairs of red soled shoes, 2 Children, 8 alpacas, 2 cats and a Pheasant roaming the garden the children affectionately call ‘Steve’.
