Local Expertise
Financial advice
in Dorchester
As Dorset’s county town, Dorchester sees varied needs, from first homes and family moves through to retirement income planning, often with questions about protection and inheritance alongside investments.
Protection enquiries typically cover mortgage life cover, family life insurance, critical illness, and income protection for households balancing work and dependants.
I also support people in nearby areas such as Weymouth, Poole, Bridport and Sherborne, all on the same phone- and video-first basis.
Working with a local adviser in Dorchester also means continuity, the same person through mortgage moves, protection reviews, pension changes, and investment decisions.
Serving Dorset
Based in Yeovil, I work with clients across Dorset, mostly by phone and online, including Dorchester and surrounding areas.

My Approach
Clear advice,
no complexity
Hi, I'm Michael Hawkins. I've been helping individuals and families across Dorchester and the wider Dorset area with their financial planning for years. As a completely independent FCA regulated financial Adviser, I offer whole of market access.
Why independence matters: Unlike restricted Advisers who can only recommend from a limited panel, I can search the entire UK market for the best product at the most competitive price.
I got tired of the old way of doing business, so I put years of experience into a system that makes life easier for both of us. Your client hub brings onboarding, factfinding, documents, messages, reminders, and reviews together in one place, while a practice engine behind the scenes keeps everything moving and cuts duplication and repetitive typing. Once you have tried it, going back to scattered emails and paper chasing rarely feels worth it. Pensions and investments follow the same hub model as mortgages and protection.

What is the client hub and practice engine?
I got tired of the old way of doing business, so I put years of experience into a system that makes life easier for both of us. Your client hub brings onboarding, factfinding, documents, messages, reminders, and reviews together in one place, while a practice engine behind the scenes keeps everything moving and cuts duplication and repetitive typing.
