Maria has over 15 years’ experience in the wealth management industry. Prior to setting up MI Wealth Consultancy Ltd, she managed portfolios for large Institutional clients in Europe, USA and Australia.
As a financial adviser, Maria’s role is to provide expert financial and investment planning advice and service to her clients. From the initial consultation, she takes great care in getting to know her clients, which in turn helps to build trust and long-lasting relationships.
At the outset, Maria’s approach is to focus on the fundamentals, which may include, writing a Will* and ensuring adequate wealth protection is in place (incorporating any trust planning where necessary). She takes a holistic approach, ensuring that all areas are thoroughly reviewed and any tax saving strategies are considered.
Maria has a particular specialism, working with foreign nationals, who are resident in the UK (Non-Doms), helping them to structure their wealth in the most tax-efficient way.
Where necessary, she works closely with other professionals, specialising in non-domiciliary tax planning services to help achieve the best possible outcomes for her clients.
Maria has achieved the highest distinction in the investment management profession, the CFA charter, and is currently working towards her Chartered Financial Planner certification – the profession's gold standard for financial advisers.
Outside of work, Maria spends most of her time with her husband and two children. She loves travelling, cooking, languages and dance.
