Ben Hiles
LLB (Hons)
I am the founder and Director of Ben Hiles Wealth Management Ltd and have over twenty years’ experience advising and helping clients with their financial planning.
After leaving university, where I graduated with an LLB in Law and an Honours degree in French, I joined one of the UK’s leading Financial Services companies in Bristol where I spent 16 years advising both companies and individuals on a range of financial planning strategies including group and individual pension schemes, investment plans as well as Inheritance mitigation schemes.
Having left employment in 2016 and set up a brand new business in 2017 I feel proud to have built a loyal client bank of over 200 clients as well as an excellent team within Ben Hiles Wealth Management.
About
I have devoted my professional life, now exceeding 21 years to helping others make the most of their money and realise their financial goals. From 2001 up until the end of 2016, I obtained a breadth of experience in one of the industry’s most respected financial services firm.
I have and continue to help clients in a number of different areas including retirement and pension planning, estate planning and inheritance tax mitigation, family and business protection planning and wealth creation through tax efficient investing. My clients come from all walks of life and include professionals, business owners, senior employees and retirees from these groups.
As an experienced financial planning specialist I run a Practice which reflects my ethics and enables me to add true value to my clients. By working with me, clients benefit from a personal service grounded on the highest professional standards. Each recommendation is bespoke, allowing them to enjoy the peace of mind that all of the advice I give is relevant to individual requirements. I actively promote the development of lifelong relationships with clients, helping them to secure the financial futures of themselves and their families through the breadth of wealth management and financial planning services that I offer.
I set up Ben Hiles Wealth Management in 2017 and offer bespoke, face to face wealth management advice and build close relationships with my clients, many of whom have been with me for almost twenty years and have become close friends. I continue to provide full holistic financial planning and I am particularly experienced in investment planning, inheritance and estate planning, tax planning and pension planning.
Along with my wife Jules, my three children (William, Henry and Madeleine), two Labradors and a cat; I live just outside of Taunton. In my spare time I am a keen golfer and cricketer, having played both at county junior level but nowadays I seem to spend more and more time on the side lines supporting my children in their sporting and dancing endeavours.
