About Alex
Meet your wealth consultant.
Financial planning that connects the whole picture.
I'm the founder of AWN Financial Advisory and also work as a Financial Adviser with deVere Acuma.
My work focuses on bringing together the different parts of my clients' financial live from UK pensions and investments to retirement planning, family wealth and assets held across different countries.
For many of the people I advise, financial planning is also cross-border. They may live in the UAE while retaining pensions, investments or property in the UK, and may ultimately return to Britain or retire somewhere else entirely.

My Story
Financial planning has always been personal to me.
I started my career in the UK private investment sector in 2014. Since then, I have worked with individuals, families and high-net-worth clients at very different stages of their lives, from building investment portfolios to planning for retirement and protecting family wealth.
My own move from the UK to the UAE in 2023 gave me a different perspective.
Suddenly, many of the conversations I had been having with clients became much more relevant to my own life.

Your income can change. Your tax position can change. Your priorities change and, often, your plans for the future change too. You might be living in Dubai while still having UK pensions, investments and property.
Your assets may be spread across several countries. You may have a family to provide for and no certainty about whether you will eventually remain overseas, return to the UK or retire somewhere completely different.

After more than a decade working within financial services, I wanted to create something that felt much more personal.
Working directly with clients over the years has allowed me to build some incredibly strong long-term relationships.
When somebody trusts me with their retirement, investments or their family's financial future, I take that responsibility seriously.

Of course, investment performance matters. But I believe financial planning is about much more than a percentage on a statement.
It's about creating options. It's knowing that if your circumstances change, you have a plan. It's knowing that your family is protected.

I don't believe financial planning needs to feel intimidating or unnecessarily complicated.
You should understand where your money is, why it is there, what you are paying, and how your overall strategy is helping you move towards the life you want.
01 Where your money is
Understand what you have and where it is held.
02 Why it is there
Understand the purpose behind your investments and pensions.
03 What you are paying
Have clarity over the costs associated with your financial arrangements.
04 What your money is designed to achieve
Understand how your investments and pensions fit into your wider financial goals.
05 How your strategy is moving you forward
See how your overall financial plan is helping you work towards the life you want.

Ultimately, wealth isn't simply about accumulating more. It's about what that wealth allows you and your family to do.
