Leighton began his career in finance as an accountant, where he spent three years developing a strong technical foundation in financial reporting, tax, and business structures. This early experience provides him with a unique perspective when working with clients, particularly business owners, allowing him to understand not only personal finances, but the wider financial environment in which they operate.

Following his transition into financial planning, Leighton takes a holistic and practical approach to advice, supporting clients across areas such as investments, retirement planning, protection, estate planning and cash flow modelling. He also brings strong tax planning knowledge into his work, helping clients structure their finances in an efficient and sustainable way.

Leighton’s approach is centred on building long-term relationships, offering clarity, and providing practical advice that evolves as his clients’ needs change. Whether supporting clients in growing their wealth, protecting their families, planning for retirement, or navigating the complexities of business ownership, he aims to deliver reassurance and confidence at every stage.

Outside of work, Leighton is married, plays rugby for his local club and loves getting away and visiting new places.
