Financial advice for musicians and creatives

I help musicians sort their mortgages, pensions, investments and insurance without the jargon.

About Us

Who am I?

I’m Chrissy Wood, an independent financial planner (and wife to a touring drummer). I work with musicians, creatives, producers, road crew and engineers across the UK to help sort the serious stuff:

  • Mortgages

  • Pensions

  • Investments

  • Insurance

No jargon, no pressure, just straight-talking advice that fits your world. We’ll build financial security around your lifestyle, not the other way around.

What I do

Our Services

Mortgage & Remortgage Advice

Buying your first place? Refinancing? Self-employed or Limited Co? I’ll help you figure out what you can borrow and how to get a mortgage that works with your income.

Please note your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.

Pensions & Retirement

It's never too early to plan. Whether you’ve already started or feel totally lost, I’ll help you understand what your pension’s doing, and how to grow it from here.

A pension is a long-term investment the fund value may fluctuate and can go down. Your eventual income may depend upon the size of the fund at retirement, future interest rates and tax legislation.

Investments

Got some savings and not sure what to do with them? I’ll help you invest in a tax-efficient way that aligns with your goals, timeframes, and appetite for risk.

The value of investments and any income from them can fall as well as rise and you may not get back the original amount invested.

Insurance & Protection

No sick pay, no backup? I’ll help you put a safety net in place, covering your income if you’re unable to work due to illness or injury, and protecting your loved ones if the worst should happen.

Tax & Business Basics

I don’t give formal tax advice, but my go-to music accountant Bobby Lambkin-Williams does. If you're stuck with returns, VAT, or limited company setup, I’ll put you in touch.

Tax advice is not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.

Something Else?

Not sure what you need? Leave a few lines in the form, I’ll let you know if I can help, or point you to someone who can.
