I’m Ian. Founder of Work to Live FP
I was frustrated with the stale approach of most advice firms and the focus on how much money clients had rather than their lives.
I set up my own firm so I could deliver real financial planning that has a positive impact on people’s lives.
My favourite description from a client is “he’s not a number geek”
My mission is to help busy professionals get their financial sh!t together!
I am Chartered Financial Planner and Fellow of the Chartered Insurance Institute, and have been providing financial advice for over a decade.

Giving Back: we support…
Here at Work to Live Financial Planning we want our company to stand for more than just profits, and hope to use our success to help causes close to our hearts.
For each new client, we will make a donation of £75 to Dogs4Rescue to help them with their continuing and always much-needed fundraising.
For the love of dogs
Myself and Tsunako were looking for a second dog to keep Nina company. Nina is such a loving dog, we knew she’d be much happier if she had a four-legged best friend. We decided we would like to rescue and to help a dog really in need.
Our search eventually led us adopt Rexy from a Bulgarian charity called Twitchy Noses. Rexy was already in the UK as her intended adoption had fallen through. Once we saw the pictures of her broken legs in plaster, we knew that we had to offer her our home.
Dogs4Rescue and Twitchy Noses
Having heard about Rexy and how we rescued her, Emma who founded Dogs for Rescue went to work. It had always been her passion to open a rescue and this introduction was all she needed. You can read Emma’s moving story here.
“Rexy was one of the warmest dogs we had ever met. She was so happy, grateful of everything. She loved daycare and she stole our hearts. I contacted Rachel from Twitchy Noses offering to help her dogs and she jumped at the chance. We were over the moon and from that day we were able to properly launch Dogs 4 Rescue in October 2013.”
– Emma Billington.
It’s heart-breaking to hear stories of animals being mistreated and as such Work To Live are resolute to help remove dogs from harmful environments and help them find loving homes.
