Romany Youell, The Finance Woman

Meet Romany,
The Finance Woman

I am a financial adviser who specialises in helping self-employed people feel calm and in control of their money — especially pensions, investments and long-term planning.

Through The Finance Woman, I work with clients who want clear, jargon-free advice and a long-term partner, not just a one-off product. I created this checkup so you can quickly see what I see as an adviser where you are on track, where there are gaps and what to focus on next.

  • Independent, FCA-regulated advice
  • Plain-English conversations, no jargon
  • Practical next steps that fit real life

The hidden risks I see again and again with self-employed clients

Gaps in protection

Most of the self-employed people I work with do not realise there is a gap in their income protection or life cover until we look at it together. A short illness or time off work can suddenly put a lot of pressure on your family finances.

Unclear retirement path

It is very common to have old pension pots scattered around, contributions that have stalled, or no clear idea of what you are actually working towards. Without an employer setting anything up, pensions easily slide to the bottom of the list.

Mortgage uncertainty

Getting a mortgage when you are self-employed is not always straightforward. Lenders want proof, accounts and stability. Many people do not realise what is possible until we go through their options properly.

Most people discover at least one easy win they can act on straight away.

Most self-employed people are already doing something for the future, but it is hard to know whether it is enough, tax-efficient, or aligned with what you actually want from life.

Your Self-Employed Financial Checkup turns a few simple answers into the same kind of snapshot I create for my one-to-one clients a calm, clear picture of where you stand today and what would make the biggest difference next, for example spotting an old pension that is no longer working hard or a gap in your income protection.
