Sheffield financial planner to host masterclasses in finance for business owners

Jillian, director of Future Life Wealth Management, is running ‘Managing your money for business owners’ in Sheffield, starting with a session on creating a financial plan.

She said: “We have a lot of great businesses in Sheffield offering some great products and services. They are often run by owners who know their sector well, but may lack some knowledge in financial matters and that can hold them back.

“We are particularly keen for women owners to join us at the masterclasses as it seems they often lack confidence in financial matters and that can stunt the growth of some potentially great businesses.

“More financial awareness will lead to more confidence to scale up the business and ultimately to grow the local economy. And that can only be a win-win, for the individuals, their companies and the region.”

The first masterclass, on creating a financial plan, will be on September 27 at Kenwood Hall Hotel. The second at Mosborough Hall Hotel on October 16 will look at pensions and the third at Double Tree by Hilton, Sheffield Park, on November 22 will focus on investments and life assurance.

On December 6 there will be a chance to pull it all together in a plan with one-to-one sessions with Jillian and her team at Whirlowbrook Hall. The series is supported by Vine Hotels.

All classes, which will run from 9.30 to 10.30am, must be booked in advance.

Future Life Wealth Management, based in Renishaw, was set up by Jill in 2010. For the last five years it has been listed in the New Model Adviser Top 100, which recognises financial planners for their qualifications, income and commitment.
