Work to Live was built on a simple belief

Financial advice should feel human, not transactional.

Too many people earn well yet feel misaligned with their life and money.

At Work to Live, we help you reconnect them by aligning life, wealth and purpose through clear, values-led advice.

We lead with conversation, not products.
With questions, not assumptions.
And with clarity, not complexity.

Why I started Work to Live

Ian
Founder, Chartered Financial Planner & Accredited Coach

After a decade in traditional advice, I became disillusioned.

Too many firms focused on wealth not the life behind it.
I started Work to Live to do things differently.

I combine financial expertise with deep listening. Creating a space for better questions, clearer thinking and smarter decisions.

“He's not a numbers geek, he actually gets it.” (Angela, Client)

For me financial planning isn’t about the numbers. It’s about helping people design lives they don’t want to retire from.

Investing in the Next Generation

Paying it forward to community charities.

We're a lead sponsor for the Broomsfield Youth Project (BYP), who are a multi-award winning charity. As part of the local community, BYP aim to work in partnership with other agencies (such as police, high schools, leisure services, churches and local businesses) to signpost and support 13 to 17 year olds who want or need support with their emotional, behavioural or mental health needs.

For the Love of Dogs

Supporting you, and dogs, to build a better life

It's important to us that we stand for more than just profits, and use the firms success to help causes close to our hearts. As a team of dog-lovers, our nominated charity - Dogs4Rescue - was a natural choice.
