I founded Paul Telford Financial Planning in 2026 after more than 10 years working as a financial adviser. Having spent my career advising clients in an employed role, I wanted to take the next step and build a business of my own - one where I could develop long-term relationships with my own clients and provide the kind of personal, straightforward financial planning I believe people deserve.

Financial planning is about more than numbers, investments and pensions. It’s about understanding people - their lives, their families, their businesses and what they want to achieve. I take the time to listen, understand your circumstances and have honest conversations about where you are today and where you would like to be in the future.

I'll work with you to help navigate important financial decisions with clarity and confidence. Whether you’re planning for retirement, building and protecting your wealth, preparing for your family’s future, I provide clear, tailored advice based on your individual circumstances, goals and aspirations.

I am based in the North East, and work with clients locally and across the UK. Whether we meet face-to-face or virtually, I want you to feel comfortable having open conversations about your finances and confident that your advice is built around you.
