“A PLAN MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE.”
Matthew Knight is a Financial Planner based in our London Gatwick office, working with individuals and families to bring structure, clarity, and confidence to their financial lives. His role involves a variety of ongoing reviews, helping clients make important financial decisions, and guiding them through life transitions such as preparing for retirement, managing investments, or funding major goals.
UNDERSTANDING THE FULL PICTURE
“For me, it’s impossible to give the right advice without seeing the whole picture. I take time to understand not just the numbers, but the situation, the priorities, and the “why” behind a client’s goals. No two clients are the same, and that’s what makes the work interesting. Every situation requires a tailored approach, something I learned early in my career while developing my own style of advice. Over time, I’ve found that combining technical expertise with a clear, straightforward plan is what makes the biggest difference.
Strong relationships are built on clear expectations. My clients know what I need from them, and I know what they expect from me. That mutual understanding means they can trust I’m always working in their best interests, and I’ll go the extra mile to help them.”
WHEN MONEY STOPS BEING THE OBSTACLE
“One of the most rewarding moments in financial planning is seeing the shift when a client realises they can do more than they thought possible. That “penny drop” moment might mean retiring sooner, making a big lifestyle change, or helping a family member in a way they didn’t think was realistic.
I’ve had clients go from feeling stressed about a decision, like funding home improvements, to feeling completely at ease once they understood a tax-efficient way forward. Seeing that transformation is what makes this role so satisfying.”
A TEAM THAT OPENS DOORS
“Being part of AAB means having the support of great people and access to tax expertise across the wider team. It’s a collaborative culture where everyone’s willing to help, and it creates more opportunities to make a difference to more clients and families.”
PLANNING BEYOND THE MARKETS
“Changing laws and regulations mean we have to stay sharp to deliver the best client outcomes. I make a point of keeping my knowledge up to date, so every recommendation is relevant and robust.
A common misconception about financial planning is that it’s all about investment returns. In reality, investments are just one tool. What matters most is building a long-term plan for life, a framework that adapts to change and keeps clients moving toward their goals.”
LASTING SUPPORT FOR CLIENTS
“I’m keen, adaptable, and focused on building relationships that last decades, not just years. Clients know they’ll hear from me regularly, with transparent updates and clear explanations. Looking ahead, I’m always looking for ways to keep communication open and planning simple, because the right plan, kept up to date, really does make all the difference.”
